Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 37
Paragraph
Paragraph text
That having been said, it is not sufficient to simply include IDPs in a list of vulnerable groups. In a joint note sent to the United Nations Secretary-General in October 2014, the Special Rapporteur, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, UNHCR and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) expressed concern that, despite strong support from many Member States, a dedicated displacement target was omitted from the final report of the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals (A/68/97). A dedicated target on reducing the number of IDPs and refugees by providing durable solutions, contained under proposed sustainable development goal 16 on achieving peaceful and inclusive societies would be a valuable step towards that end.
