Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 45
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Recent displacement crises have demonstrated once again the links between internal displacement situations, the rights of internally displaced persons and the processes leading to refugee and migrant movements across borders. Internally displaced persons and refugees are often driven from their homes by similar circumstances and, for some people, internal displacement may be followed by cross-border displacement. Among the key reasons for further movement across borders are the failure of national protection systems and the lack of prospects for internally displaced persons to find solutions in their country of origin. While the nexus between internally displaced persons and refugees and that between internally displaced persons and migrants demand greater attention, it must be recalled that the majority of persons forcibly displaced by conflict and violence move and seek solutions within their countries, and internal displacement is a critical humanitarian issue in itself rather than the first stage in a migration journey.
