Paragraph
Paragraph text
Xenophobia and discrimination against those who are considered "outsiders" has long been a central concern of human rights and it is important that these issues also be recognized and addressed as human rights issues in cities. Human rights norms and legal protections can play an important role in clarifying governments' obligations to develop programmes and responses to the distinctive needs of migrants as well as of vulnerable people affected by natural disasters and internal conflict (see, for example, A/65/261 and A/HRC/14/30).
