Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 77
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Modern peace agreements emphasize the right to return of all displaced, which is a positive trend. At the same time, there is a tendency to neglect those who are not willing or able to return. The Representative, sometimes with success, has suggested on several occasions to negotiators that they recognize the right of internally displaced persons to freely choose between return, local integration and settlement in another part of the country in accordance with the Guiding Principles. Involving all sectors of the displaced at least indirectly in peace processes, an issue on which the Representative has worked extensively, should ensure that peace agreements and peacebuilding efforts reflect the rights, needs and legitimate interests of the displaced.
