Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 20
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- [Putting the most vulnerable people first was a major Summit theme, with the objective of leaving no one behind, which was one of five key responsibilities identified in line with the 2030 Agenda. World leaders and other participants at the Summit agreed to "reach the furthest behind". It was made clear that this category includes displaced people globally. The Special Rapporteur was one of the high-level leaders at the round table in which core commitments that are directly relevant to internally displaced people were addressed. These are:] Core commitment 5. Commit to actively work to uphold the institution of asylum and the principle of non-refoulement. Commit to support further accession to and strengthened implementation of national, regional and international laws and policy frameworks that ensure and improve the protection of refugees and internally displaced persons, such as the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees, the Kampala Convention and the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement.
