A/HRC/19/54 18. The Special Rapporteur further found that the lack of accurate and efficient systems of registration and disaggregated data collection had resulted in a situation where many IDPs were not included in assistance, protection and durable solutions programmes. He remains concerned by reports of an increase in street children, many of whom are believed to be IDPs, in some parts of the country in the aftermath the 2007/2008 post-election violence, and believes that many other IDPs who have never been registered or assisted may have seen their situation similarly deteriorate due to displacement. He urges the authorities, with the support of the international community and civil society, to review data collection and registration systems with a view to assisting IDPs still in need, to identifying particularly vulnerable groups, and to developing a more timely, effective and comprehensive data collection system which is inclusive of all categories of IDPs. 19. The Special Rapporteur further recommends that the Government of Kenya put in place a legal and policy framework on IDPs, including by adopting the draft policy and draft Bill on IDPs, and by ratifying the Kampala Convention at the earliest opportunity. With regard to durable solutions he stresses the importance of ensuring that these are safe, voluntary and informed; of adopting a broad approach, which includes resettlement, return and local integration; and of providing sufficient resources to achieving these. He highlights that assisting IDPs in achieving durable solutions is an important step towards reconciliation and peace in Kenya. In this regard he was pleased to note the community peace-building and reconciliation activities being undertaken in the country and encourages the Government and civil society, with the support of the international community, to continue these efforts. III. A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps A. Introduction and overview 20. While common images of IDPs often portray them as living compactly in large camps, spontaneous informal settlements or collective IDP centres, the reality is that most IDPs live outside these clearly defined settings, or “outside camps”.6 The expression IDPs outside camps in this report refers to IDPs who may live instead in a variety of settings or situations; they may be in urban, rural, or remote areas, renting, owning a housing, sharing a room, living with a host family, homeless, occupying a building or land that they do not own, or living in makeshift shelters and slums. A number of factors often result in the neglect and virtual “invisibility” of IDPs outside camps, thereby affecting their access to protection, assistance and durable solutions to their displacement. While the importance of the issue has gained increased recognition over the last several years, more concerted attention is necessary, including by the international community, in order to achieve a more equitable humanitarian response and lasting solutions for IDPs outside camps, as well as better support structures to communities which may be hosting them. Such an approach also ensures compliance with international law relating to IDPs, including international humanitarian and human rights law, regional instruments such as the Kampala Convention, and with international standards such as the Guiding Principles, which provide guarantees of non-discrimination and make no distinction between IDPs in or outside camps or other settings. 6 Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), Internal Displacement: Global Overview of Trends and Developments in 2010, March 2011, p. 13; Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), 7th Working Group Meeting, “Internally displaced persons outside camps: achieving a more equitable humanitarian response”, WO/1006/3492/7, paras. 4, 7. 7
