Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 44
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The plight of those in protracted displacement is relatively neglected. Failure to resolve protracted displacement accounts in large measure for the increasing populations of internally displaced persons at the global level, as new waves of displacement add to protracted layers of displacement. The longer the duration of displacement, the lower the prospect that durable solutions will be achieved. Equally, internally displaced persons outside camps are often assumed to have found their own solutions (see A/HRC/19/54). Most have not and some have chosen to remain invisible owing to protection concerns. Different methodologies are required, such as helplines and outreach programmes to identify and profile them, assess their needs in the overall context of the hosting communities and address such needs using humanitarian and development approaches. Addressing such internally displaced populations is essential to achieving national goals to solve and reduce internal displacement.
