Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 78
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Indicators to help to assess the implementation of the sustainable development goals at the international level are still under consideration at the time of writing. The Special Rapporteur strongly advocates the indicators to systematically address the specific situation of IDPs by mentioning them explicitly as beneficiary groups. Displacement, whether due to conflict or disaster, is truly a "global" issue, potentially affecting rich and poor countries, northern and southern States, and international indicators should consequently specifically address displacement. Equally, countries should develop their own national-level indicators, taking into account, where relevant, their actual or potential displacement situation.
