Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 65
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Impressive advances in the response to internal displacement have been achieved over the past two decades, at the normative, operational and institutional levels. After the recognition of the phenomenon in the early 1990s, the subsequent development of the Guiding Principles provided a much needed framework enabling Governments to exercise their responsibilities more effectively in situations of internal displacement, as well as important guidance for humanitarian actors and the United Nations. With the growing use of the Guiding Principles, and thanks to capacity-building and training activities over the years, many States have now adopted their own national legal and policy frameworks and, in Africa, the Kampala Convention, the first binding regional instrument relating to internally displaced persons is expected to come into force imminently. At the institutional and operational levels, the cumulative body of work of this mandate and the humanitarian reforms undertaken over the past 20 years have led to more coordinated, systemic and predictable responses to situations of internal displacement. Together with the efforts of national authorities and non-governmental organizations, both international and national, the above advances have made possible protection, assistance and durable solutions for millions of internally displaced persons.
