Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 52
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- On 25 January 2017, the Special Rapporteur began consultations on this issue by convening an expert discussion on the participation of internally displaced persons, with relevant United Nations and international NGO partners active on this issue. This served to further her understanding of the issues and challenges and allowed her to obtain the views of key partners and consider positive practices. She will continue to seek positive examples from all regions that she can promote for possible use in other displacement situations. Furthermore, the Special Rapporteur recognizes that international advocacy efforts to promote the rights of internally displaced persons benefit from the actual participation of internally displaced persons. However, internally displaced persons are rarely present in such forums, and she will encourage and advocate for their participation in such regional and international events.
