Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 47
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- While in some crisis situations the threat to life is so grave that seeking asylum outside the country is the only safe option, much more must be done to protect and support internally displaced persons and give them viable options to achieve safety in their own countries where that is their desire. In protracted displacement situations, national and international attention to affected persons frequently wanes over time and personal resources may dwindle along with national and international assistance funding. Even in situations of relative physical safety, they may be trapped in a protracted limbo existence of basic shelter and aid dependency and will inevitably seek alternative options and consider crossing international borders.
