Governance structures for internal displacement 2015, para. 90

Paragraph
Paragraph text
States affected by displacement should establish effective legal framework to provide fair compensation or other forms of reparation, where appropriate, to internally displaced persons for damage incurred as a result of displacement, in accordance with international standards. In certain cases, truth and reconciliation commissions have been involved in displacement issues and linkages between such mechanisms and durable solutions can be made. The mechanisms can contribute to ensuring durable solutions, notably by acknowledging and embracing internally displaced persons' narratives and experiences, fostering better relations between displaced populations and displacement-affected communities and making specific recommendations relevant to the pursuit of durable solutions with respect to housing, land, property restitution and similar issues.
