Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 76
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Clear references to IDPs should be included in the post-2015 goals and targets. While explicit references to IDPs may be lacking, many proposed goals and targets have the potential to directly or indirectly have a positive impact on IDPs at the national level. Nevertheless, it is essential to look beyond international cooperation and focus on the importance of national implementation. The report of the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals states that "targets are defined as aspirational global targets, with each government setting its own national targets guided by the global level of ambition but taking into account national circumstances" (A/68/970, para. 18). National authorities are responsible for providing protection and development for all and for implementing strategies and programmes to meet internationally agreed targets and goals. Countries affected by internal displacement must set their own national targets and include IDPs in national development strategies.
