Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 85
Paragraph
Paragraph text
National instruments can grant IDPs entitlements based on their situation, rights and needs, and enshrine those entitlements in laws and policy, including their right to be included in development assistance programmes as citizens or habitual residents of the State. Where possible, national instruments on internal displacement should be explicitly linked to national development documents, strategies and targets, and ideally result in dedicated national strategies and action plans for IDPs.
