Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 60
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Good governance is an essential element of national efforts to prevent and reduce internal displacement. The Guiding Principles underline the obligations of States to take preventive measures to avoid displacement. However, States often lack adequate governance structures to prevent, prepare for and mitigate against the consequences of internal displacement before the onset of a displacement crisis. All States, particularly those at risk of, or experiencing, internal displacement should establish effective and accountable governance structures to respond to all phases of internal displacement. The need to improve disaster risk governance, for example, has been recognized, including in the context of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, as disasters can affect any State.
