The Special Rapporteur favours continuity in the core strategic work of the mandate on achieving the most important global objectives for the protection of internally displaced persons, and giving necessary attention to the most critical displacement situations and the most vulnerable groups or sectors.

In her first visit to the Middle East, the Special Rapporteur participated in the international conference on human rights-based approaches to conflict situations in the Arab region, which was held on 20 and 21 February 2017 in Doha and was hosted by the National Human Rights Committee of Qatar and OHCHR, where she interacted with States and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from the region.
