Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 54
Paragraph
Paragraph text
In numerous internal displacement situations, internally displaced persons do not obtain justice or achieve only partial redress or reparations for the human rights violations that they have suffered, including for loss of housing, land or property. A first challenge will be to address the absence of any transitional justice mechanisms in some post-conflict situations, where such mechanisms are essential to achieve redress for internally displaced persons and other affected populations. Even where such mechanisms exist, fully incorporating internally displaced persons’ issues is often perceived as complex and costly. Transitional justice processes have traditionally addressed a too narrow range of the serious civil and political rights violations while relatively neglecting internally displaced persons.
Legal status
