Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 32
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- While internally displaced persons have the right to cross international borders and the right to seek asylum in other countries, both of which must be guaranteed, responding to their protection and assistance needs within their countries, supporting durable solutions for them and addressing the overall root causes of their displacement remains fundamental. Indeed, the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants points to links between internal displacement and large movements of migrants and refugees: We recognize the very large number of people who are displaced within national borders and the possibility that such persons might seek protection and assistance in other countries as refugees or migrants. We note the need for reflection on effective strategies to ensure adequate protection and assistance for internally displaced persons and to prevent and reduce such displacement.
