Authorities must also ensure that personnel working on internally displaced persons issues receive adequate training, are sensitized to internally displaced persons' specific needs, including those of particularly vulnerable persons, and are able to respond in a timely way to the concerns of those affected. It is essential that law enforcement and frontline and administrative officials receive training to ensure that they meet international standards when dealing with internally displaced persons.
