Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 54
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Over the last 20 years, one of the most important trends in the protection of internally displaced persons has been the progressive acceptance by individual States that, under their human rights and international humanitarian law obligations, they bear responsibility for establishing specific protection measures for the internally displaced. The recognition that internal displacement is a problem with far-reaching consequences relating to demographic impact, national budgetary implications and development strategies has in many cases resulted in an increasingly pragmatic approach towards the Guiding Principles, and the adoption of a growing body of legally binding instruments at the national and regional levels by States which see the need for the rational management of internal displacement and for frameworks to regulate their responses. The progressive involvement of regional institutions on the issue, such as the African Union, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights, as well as the efforts of international humanitarian, protection and human rights institutions in providing training, advocacy and operational guidance frameworks, for example the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons, have further supported that evolution and States' capacity and efforts.
