Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 40
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The message of leaving no one behind has been at the core of international processes to address deficits in development and humanitarian action, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and now the World Humanitarian Summit. Identifying, reaching and assisting internally displaced persons and other most-vulnerable populations must be the highest priority for the present and future efforts to prevent and respond to humanitarian crises. This commitment demands that States and the international community pay new attention and take new and innovative action to protect those at risk of or experiencing internal displacement.
