Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 31
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Enhanced international attention has been given to large movements of refugees and migrants, including in the context of the United Nations Summit for Refugees and Migrants, held in New York on 19 September 2016, and of subsequent processes under way to adopt global compacts on safe, orderly and regular migration and on refugees by September 2018. The Special Rapporteur urges the international community to ensure that it maintains much-needed attention on the situation of internally displaced persons, recognizing that many who have crossed international borders as refugees or undocumented or trafficked migrants have initially been internally displaced in their own countries and have not been provided with the necessary protection and support allowing them to remain in their own countries if they so wish.
Legal status
