Paragraph text
The role of development and business activities as a cause and driver of displacement must be given greater scrutiny. National Governments must ensure that they conform with all relevant international standards when conducting or licencing development or business activities that will result in the displacement of communities. Where development-induced displacement takes place, compensation, appropriate resettlement and rehabilitation measures undertaken in consultation with affected persons must be implemented and continued until durable solutions are achieved.
