Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 68
Paragraph
Paragraph text
During the Special Rapporteur's visit to Sri Lanka in December 2013, he noted obstacles to durable solutions for IDPs in their lack of access to their original land, which prevented their return and their having sustainable livelihoods. He stressed that significant efforts were required to ensure that the livelihoods of IDPs were restored. During his visit to Ukraine in September 2014, the Special Rapporteur was informed of the difficulty faced by IDPs in finding employment and income-generating opportunities. Some IDPs described problems with their residence registration in their places of origin, their work records which remained with former employers, and discrimination when they identified themselves as IDPs.
