Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 26
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons is a long and complex process. Internally displaced persons must exercise a free and informed choice of durable solutions, i.e. to reintegrate at the place of origin (return), to locally integrate in areas in which they have found refuge (local integration) or to integrate in another part of the country (settlement elsewhere in the country). The Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons is fully applicable to solutions in urban contexts and the solutions process that it outlines is an important indicator for long-term planning processes. A key indicator is, according to the Framework, when internally displaced persons no longer have specific assistance and protection needs linked to their displacement and can enjoy their human rights without discrimination on account of their displacement. However, solutions in urban areas, such as local integration, are often challenged by additional obstacles arising from the specificities of internal displacement in such settings. They are discussed below.
