Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 89
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- While the onus is on States as the bearers of the primary responsibility to prevent and resolve crises and displacement, the message of "one humanity: shared responsibility" underpinned the Summit. Internal displacement must be understood as a global phenomenon with national, regional and international implications that should engage us all in new prevention strategies and in finding appropriate and durable solutions for those already displaced. Without protection, dignity and safety within their countries, today's internally displaced persons become tomorrow's refugees in search of safety, protection and assistance. To deal with this nexus and continuum, forging a new era of international solidarity to prevent, where possible, and to respond effectively to crises and their root causes is essential.
