Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 87a
- Paragraph text
- [Durable solutions constitute the ultimate form of protection for internally displaced persons. At the same time, the Representative sees some of the greatest problems in this area. Short-sighted political calculations often create protracted displacement situations, which are particularly difficult to transform into durable solutions. Despite some advances, donors and development actors are still not providing enough support for durable solutions, especially crucial investments in early recovery. The Representative recommends that member States:] Reinvigorate processes to resolve ongoing or frozen conflicts, while allowing the internally displaced to normalize their living situation as far as possible;

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 84b
- Paragraph text
- [Millions of people are being newly internally displaced every year as a result of conflict and violence. Disasters displace even more people and the effects of climate change will exacerbate this trend. Development-induced displacement is also on the rise. With international attention focused on camps of internally displaced persons, many other displaced remain invisible, because they stay with host families, are dispersed in urban areas or their existence is officially denied. Some vulnerable groups within the displaced population are also regularly overlooked. Host families and communities are often heavily affected by displacement, but they are often neglected. The Representative urges member States and humanitarian and development actors to expand their scope of action and recommends that they:] Increase efforts to protect and assist the urban displaced, including through development efforts and measures to assist host families as well as displacement-affected communities generally;

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 90
- Paragraph text
- The close cooperation with the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, on the basis of institutionalized arrangements, and access to resources beyond the regular support provided to a special procedure mandate holder by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, have been indispensable to taking up the array of tasks that the Representative has been mandated to carry out. The ability to work closely with institutions and non-governmental organizations outside the United Nations system has also reinforced the capacity of the Representative to carry out the responsibilities of the mandate.

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 71
- Paragraph text
- The picture of internal displacement and the plight of internally displaced persons globally have offered little positive news in recent years. Massive and ongoing conflicts and displacement crises remain unresolved, and some have worsened or become entrenched. New conflicts have emerged and disasters struck, causing internal displacement numbers to rise relentlessly to record levels, which puts new pressure on an already overstretched international system of humanitarian response. Where conflicts have abated, internally displaced persons often do not achieve durable solutions for years after their displacement, if at all. The protracted nature of some conflicts and internal displacement all too often results in protracted humanitarian responses that fail to progress to recovery phases and towards durable solutions for internally displaced persons. In some cases, donor fatigue results in fewer resources being available to address expanding and complex caseloads of internally displaced persons.

Paragraph
Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 72
- Paragraph text
- Indeed, the numbers of internally displaced persons globally are in fact likely to be significantly higher than those publicly stated by the United Nations and other international organizations, which only take into account the available data on conflict-induced and disaster-induced displacement. It is estimated that millions more are displaced annually by other causes and drivers of displacement, including development projects and generalized violence. It must also be recognized that there is a need for greater research and more data on internal displacement as a result of slow-onset disasters and climate change, in order to reveal the current and future internal displacement trends and to better meet these challenges. The Special Rapporteur will continue to raise awareness of these neglected areas of internal displacement concern, as well as to advocate for national and international action to protect the human rights of persons who have been internally displaced as a result of all causes of displacement.

- [Durable solutions constitute the ultimate form of protection for internally displaced persons. At the same time, the Representative sees some of the greatest problems in this area. Short-sighted political calculations often create protracted displacement situations, which are particularly difficult to transform into durable solutions. Despite some advances, donors and development actors are still not providing enough support for durable solutions, especially crucial investments in early recovery. The Representative recommends that member States:] Develop more appropriate funding mechanisms to bridge the gap between emergency funding and development funding, which results in the systematic underfunding of recovery activities. Funding mechanisms must be flexible enough to respond not only to the needs of internally displaced persons themselves, but also to the needs of all displacement-affected communities.

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 89

- The nature of the mandate - situated at the heart of the United Nations system - and its access to many different agencies and offices, in particular all levels of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee, have been key features that have contributed to its effectiveness. It has also proven to be important that the Human Rights Council designated the Representative to mainstream the human rights of internally displaced persons and flagged thematic priorities for him to consider, such as the protection of the displaced in situations of natural disaster or their involvement in peace processes.

- Adaptation measures to address climate change-induced displacement should be comprehensive in nature, so as to encompass disaster risk reduction and management; proactive strategies to prevent or minimize displacement; planned relocations, when appropriate; pre-emptive internal migration when this is based on sound national policies and used as a coping mechanism in the case of slow-onset disasters; and durable solutions. Such measures must be in line with international human rights obligations, and include the provision of humanitarian assistance and protection to affected persons during the displacement phase.

- Relevant actors should increase international support in order to strengthen local and national capacities and legal frameworks and policies to address displacement by means of specific programmes, including the transfer of know-how, secondment of expert staff and provision of technical support. In particular, all relevant actors should consider the opportunity of adopting a subregional approach (for example, with the Economic Community of West African States, whose approach is quite specific), as well as the importance of cooperating with United Nations agencies in relation to their respective expertise. At the same time, the capacity of the African Union and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region should be strengthened to provide technical support to countries seeking to establish mechanisms for the protection of internally displaced persons that respond to country-specific issues and contexts.

Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 89
- Paragraph text
- While the onus is on States as the bearers of the primary responsibility to prevent and resolve crises and displacement, the message of "one humanity: shared responsibility" underpinned the Summit. Internal displacement must be understood as a global phenomenon with national, regional and international implications that should engage us all in new prevention strategies and in finding appropriate and durable solutions for those already displaced. Without protection, dignity and safety within their countries, today's internally displaced persons become tomorrow's refugees in search of safety, protection and assistance. To deal with this nexus and continuum, forging a new era of international solidarity to prevent, where possible, and to respond effectively to crises and their root causes is essential.

- Delivering better means learning the lessons and continuing to do what is done well while improving on it. It means being more strategic and collaborative, and working differently towards shared goals. Transcending the humanitarian-development divide will allow integrated action that invests in building self-reliance and resilience from the outset. To reduce displacement as a result of climate change, sudden and slow-onset disasters and conflict, we must act now and establish effective safeguards and benchmarks that will avoid future lost generations of displaced. No one should be left behind and the World Humanitarian Summit has taken important steps, but its commitments and promise must be realized in practice.

Assessments should be based on international standards such as the Sphere standards and use a participatory methodology involving the authorities, donors, affected persons and communities, and vulnerable groups in particular;

The Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, which are based on standards in international human rights law, humanitarian law and, by analogy, refugee law, provide a sound legal framework which States should implement at the national level through legislation, policies and institutions.

Climate change and internal displacement 2011, para. 90
- Paragraph text
- Disaster risk reduction and disaster preparedness measures should be enhanced in order to prevent or minimize the displacement of persons. This is particularly necessary in light of the more frequent and severe sudden-onset disasters, as well as the dire humanitarian consequences of slow-onset disasters such as droughts, both of which are due to the negative effects of climate change. National disaster management systems, laws and policies should incorporate a human rights-based approach, stress local or community capacity-building and participation and refer to applicable standards on internal displacement in the event displacement cannot be avoided. Disaster management measures should be included in national development plans and climate change adaptation strategies.

These should include methodologies appropriate to: early identification of IDPs and their needs immediately during or after a crisis so as to allow for follow up once IDPs have dispersed; and to when IDPs are already living among host communities in urban or other settings. Due safeguards must be in place to protect IDPs who may not wish to be identified due to security or other reasons. Rapid needs and protection assessment tools should include mechanisms to identify: IDPs outside camps and their needs; the reasons why they stay out of camps; the support provided by and the needs of host communities and host families; and mechanisms for vulnerability analysis in different settings;

- Paragraph text
- As those with primary responsibility, States affected by internal displacement must recognize and better adhere to their commitments under international human rights and humanitarian law and standards, firstly to prevent internal displacement, and to respond better when displacement occurs. Where possible, shifting the focus back towards the primary responsibility of States at all phases of displacement is necessary and will allow international humanitarian partners to more rapidly move on from protracted humanitarian assistance programmes. This will allow them to focus on new, critical displacement situations in which States are unable to respond effectively, as well to undertake more strategic resilience-building and recovery activities alongside development partners.

The primary duty of the State to provide humanitarian assistance and the corresponding rights of internally displaced persons 2010, para. 95
- Paragraph text
- Increasing constraints on humanitarian access have the effect of excluding internally displaced persons and others affected by conflict and disasters from their entitlements to assistance. Administrative and technical barriers regularly impede the provision of humanitarian action. Humanitarian actors find it increasingly difficult to defend the impartiality, neutrality and independence that form the basis of their work, as individual States and State coalitions seek to align humanitarian action with their own political and military agendas, a trend considered responsible, in part, for the increasing violence against humanitarian workers. This increase in politically motivated attacks on humanitarian personnel and other patterns of insecurity that interrupt humanitarian operations have a profound impact on both the extent and methods for providing humanitarian assistance, with recipient rights-holders as the ultimate victims.

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 66
- Paragraph text
- At the same time, internal displacement remains one of the world's most significant human rights and humanitarian challenges, as millions of people continue to be internally displaced every year by conflict, violence, human rights violations, disasters and development projects. Megatrends, such as rapid urbanization, human mobility and population growth, and other factors, such as increased natural disasters and climate change (which exert social and political pressures, and increase competition over scarce resources and livelihoods) are expected to further affect the magnitude and patterns of internal displacement in the future. In this context, responses to internal displacement situations will require that States and international and civil society actors be ready to adopt comprehensive frameworks which address all types and stages of internal displacement, address new issues or areas in which responses need to be strengthened, and pay particular attention to prevention and durable solutions strategies.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 59 F
- Paragraph text
- [In view of the above, the Special Rapporteur makes the following recommendations:] Promote awareness-raising with regard to the specific role and responsibilities, and the support and obstacles which municipal and provincial authorities may face in the protection and assistance of IDPs outside camps.

Paragraph
Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 60
- Paragraph text
- Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings brings with it a set of complexities that States, local authorities, humanitarian and development actors, civil society and internally displaced persons themselves still need to address in a comprehensive and coordinated manner. A one-size-fits-all approach has proved to be inconclusive and it is therefore the primary responsibility of Governments to ensure that, in any given context, durable solutions to urban displacement are found, with the full participation of those affected. Political will in any given context from all stakeholders involved is of the essence.

Governance structures for internal displacement 2015, para. 92
- Paragraph text
- National authorities bear the primary duty and responsibility to respond to internal displacement. Adequate institutional arrangements must be put in place at all levels in order for the response to be well coordinated and implemented. Without adequate governance structures in place and without the necessary financial resources and expertise, responses to internal displacement are likely to be ad hoc and uncoordinated. A lack of clarity concerning lines of responsibility can potentially lead to confusion and duplication of efforts and can ultimately have adverse impacts on response efforts and, consequently, on the lives of internally displaced persons and their enjoyment of their rights. It is therefore essential for States to establish effective and accountable governance structures at all levels - national, regional and local - to respond to all phases of internal displacement.

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 91
- Paragraph text
- IDPs must be an integral part of the post-2015 development agenda if it is to live up to its pledge to secure a life of dignity for all and to "leave no one behind". Many currently proposed goals and targets have the potential to have a positive impact on the situation of IDPs, either by helping to ensure durable solutions or by preventing further displacement. However, their potential will only be fulfilled if IDPs are clearly recognized as development targets, partners and beneficiaries.

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 73
- Paragraph text
- Confronted by the reality of record numbers of internally displaced persons, it is vital for the international community to maintain and intensify its generous efforts to meet the needs and protect the rights of internally displaced persons and to begin to reverse the global trends. The vision laid out at the World Humanitarian Summit for new approaches to humanitarian action is welcome and provides a positive direction of travel that stakeholders should adopt. The focus on internally displaced persons is necessary and timely, and a global target to reduce internal displacement by 50 per cent by 2030 in a safe and dignified manner provides an ambitious yet necessary stimulus. Moving from principles to action will be a difficult task ahead in order to meet this goal. This must be achieved in compliance with human rights law and through the implementation of international standards for the protection of internally displaced persons and the achievement of durable solutions.

The Kampala Convention: a road map for action 2014, para. 78
- Paragraph text
- The adoption of the Kampala Convention represents a significant advance in standard setting for the increased protection and assistance of internally displaced persons. While the Convention is related to internal displacement in Africa, the standards and guarantees it sets are international in character and can serve as good practices for other regions of the world. The commemoration in 2014 of the thirtieth anniversary of the Cartagena Declaration on Refugees could be a fruitful opportunity to consider how regional cooperation may be further expanded to enhance protection and assistance for internally displaced persons in regions such as the Americas, building on the experience acquired in the development and implementation of the Kampala Convention.

The Kampala Convention: a road map for action 2014, para. 79
- Paragraph text
- Much work, however, remains to be done to translate this important instrument into practice and to secure concrete improvements in the protection of and assistance to internally displaced persons. The Kampala Convention is a practical and important tool that addresses internal displacement at the international, regional and national levels. Political will is essential to the effective implementation of the Convention, which requires that the necessary budgetary and structural supports be mobilized. Timely support from the international community, including donors, United Nations agencies and other stakeholders, is critical to ensure that this objective is met. Indeed, the Convention itself was framed on the basis of a partnership between the African Union, international organizations and civil society.

- The work of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur and her engagement with national governments will be stepped up to assist States and other stakeholders in their efforts to meet their obligations towards internally displaced persons. As the international community brings its attention much more to large-scale movements of people across international borders, through the development of global compacts on safe, orderly and regular migration and on refugees, the Special Rapporteur urges enhanced attention to the situation of internally displaced persons, recognizing that many who have crossed international borders as refugees or undocumented or trafficked migrants have initially been internally displaced in their own countries. Many have not been provided with the necessary protection and support allowing them to remain in their own countries if they so wish.

Relevant actors should also develop adaptation measures which are comprehensive and include disaster risk reduction and prevention, and the minimization of internal displacement, as well as durable solutions; promote mechanisms for the engagement of affected communities; and develop guidance for States on how to ensure that displacement is taken into account in the climate change debate, on available normative standards and on the human rights implications of that type of displacement;

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 65
- Paragraph text
- Impressive advances in the response to internal displacement have been achieved over the past two decades, at the normative, operational and institutional levels. After the recognition of the phenomenon in the early 1990s, the subsequent development of the Guiding Principles provided a much needed framework enabling Governments to exercise their responsibilities more effectively in situations of internal displacement, as well as important guidance for humanitarian actors and the United Nations. With the growing use of the Guiding Principles, and thanks to capacity-building and training activities over the years, many States have now adopted their own national legal and policy frameworks and, in Africa, the Kampala Convention, the first binding regional instrument relating to internally displaced persons is expected to come into force imminently. At the institutional and operational levels, the cumulative body of work of this mandate and the humanitarian reforms undertaken over the past 20 years have led to more coordinated, systemic and predictable responses to situations of internal displacement. Together with the efforts of national authorities and non-governmental organizations, both international and national, the above advances have made possible protection, assistance and durable solutions for millions of internally displaced persons.

Durable solutions for internally displaced persons: advancing the agenda: addressing the role of humanitarian and development actors in achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons through peacebuilding in the aftermath of conflict 2013, para. 57
- Paragraph text
- As many post-conflict contexts and, in particular, situations of protracted displacement demonstrate, the resolution of internal displacement situations requires concerted and consolidated efforts by humanitarian, human rights, development and peacebuilding actors. States bear the primary responsibility for finding durable solutions for internally displaced persons based on the recognition of such persons' right to choose between the options of return, local integration or settlement elsewhere in the country. States facing the complex challenge of finding durable solutions should receive support from international and national organizations and donor States in meeting the humanitarian, development, peacebuilding and human rights demands of such a long process of ending displacement. The Special Rapporteur seeks to support and facilitate such cooperative and coordinated efforts by Governments, international organizations, the international community, internally displaced persons and relevant national actors.

The Kampala Convention: a road map for action 2014, para. 97
- Paragraph text
- All relevant stakeholders should monitor, support and build capacity to address climate change-related internal displacement, including displacement due to both sudden and slow-onset natural hazards. In this regard, relevant international and national actors should, inter alia, increase awareness and understanding of displacement caused by slow-onset natural disasters; develop concrete strategies and measures to follow up on relevant provisions of the Cancun Agreement; and promote a human rights-based approach in all actions and strategies to address displacement related to natural disasters and climate change. Relevant actors should support Member States in developing adaptation measures that are comprehensive and include disaster risk reduction and prevention, and the minimization of internal displacement, as well as durable solutions. Relevant actors should also promote mechanisms for the engagement of affected communities, and develop guidance for States on how to ensure that displacement is taken into account in the climate change debate, on available normative standards and on the human rights implications of that type of displacement.

Paragraph
A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 56
- Paragraph text
- While they represent the majority of internally displaced persons in the world, IDPs outside camps, and the host communities supporting them, are frequently unidentified and unassisted, both with respect to humanitarian support and durable solutions. IDPs living amongst host communities and in urban centres become mixed within the general local population, while others may seek shelter in remote and isolated areas. In both cases, they are difficult to identify and thus may become neglected IDPs. Although often assumed to have found their own solution, IDPs outside camps often experience a serious deterioration in their enjoyment of a series of human rights, including the right to adequate housing and protection from forced evictions, and to education and health, and are particularly at risk of marginalization, poverty, exploitation and abuse. If left unidentified and unassisted, they will de facto be excluded from assistance and protection measures, and durable solutions to their displacement, (e.g. in the context of national reconciliation and reconstruction processes); measures which could also alleviate pressures otherwise imposed on social structures within host communities.

The Representative urges member States and humanitarian and development actors to expand their scope of action and recommends that they:] Pay greater attention to internally displaced persons with multiple layers of vulnerability and discrimination, especially elderly persons and those with disabilities, women heads of households and their children, and displaced persons belonging to ethnic minorities or indigenous peoples.

Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 87
- Paragraph text
- The Summit gave much needed and timely attention to internal displacement. It set States and the international community an important commitment: to reduce internal displacement by half by 2030 in a safe and dignified manner. To achieve this, innovative and creative approaches, bold initiatives and new and enhanced partnerships and collaborations are required. Foremost, it requires political will and leadership to prevent and resolve conflicts that are a major global driver of forced displacement. Reducing displacement requires a new model of national and international action that is predictive rather than reactive and is focused on early warning, preparedness, mitigation and adaptation.

- The overall picture of internal displacement globally in 2016 is alarming, with unprecedented numbers of internally displaced persons, ongoing and protracted situations in which progress towards durable solutions has stalled and massive new displacement crises that threaten to further deteriorate. The picture is in fact more dramatic than that presented by existing statistics, since these do not include causes of displacement, such as development projects and business activities and generalized and criminal violence. The situation constitutes a global crisis requiring bold, innovative and concerted action at all levels, from the local to the international levels, as well as new and enhanced partnerships and collaborations.

Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 95
- Paragraph text
- As many countries debate cross-border movements of "migrants" and asylum seekers, attention must refocus on the protection of internally displaced persons in their countries of origin and measures to support the integration of early recovery, livelihoods and resilience-building. Traditional emergency humanitarian assistance models provide little incentive to such persons or confidence for the future required for them to remain in their countries of origin. While humanitarian assistance is vital and lifesaving, simultaneous development activities are also necessary to sustain livelihoods by building programmes and durable solutions.

This will require new levels of collaboration, partnership and funding, underpinned by the genuine political will and resolve necessary to achieve real change for such persons.

Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 98
- Paragraph text
- Disaster risk reduction and action to address climate change and its adverse effects in terms of internal displacement and other human rights issues must remain high on the international agenda. The Paris Agreement, reached after the twenty-first Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, is an essential step in the right direction that explicitly recognizes the need for individual and collective State action. That agreement must be implemented in practice by all parties.

Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 102
- Paragraph text
- While the figures are alarming and tell us much about the global internal displacement situation and trends, it is essential that we look beyond the statistics to recognize the human suffering behind them. In that regard, enhancing support to Governments to collect and analyse reliable and protection-sensitive information for evidence-based policy, programming and response is crucial. Media and political discourse often consigns the displaced, whether internal, refugees or migrants, as a collective, faceless problem to be resolved, rather than individuals and families whose lives, wishes and hopes matter.

Such frameworks, structures and policies should recognize the right of internally displaced persons to freely choose among the recognized solutions and identify activities to support such solutions in conformity with the IASC Framework and respective standards in regional instruments, in particular the Kampala Convention. They should address chronic barriers to solutions, including access to justice mechanisms and transitional justice; protection of and access to housing, land and property rights; and the re-establishment of livelihoods as an essential element to build the resilience of internally displaced persons. In this connection, national authorities should make adequate budgetary provisions and ensure human resource capacity in all relevant ministries and local authorities in order to implement such frameworks, structures and policies;

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 60
- Paragraph text
- Cluster responsibilities at the global and national level have brought more predictability and helped to close gaps in the humanitarian response to internally displaced persons. In particular, UNHCR, as the cluster lead for the protection of internally displaced persons in conflict settings, emergency shelter, and camp management has taken on considerable responsibilities, including the role of "provider of last resort". In order to live up to these new commitments, UNHCR has increased its operational engagement and provided for institutional and budgetary amendments. However, the capacities of UNHCR, as well as those of its partners, in particular as regards training and adequate staff numbers, as well as the capacity to provide guidance in the area of protection, are still very limited compared to the overall needs of the displaced. A more robust and decisive engagement will be required.

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 61
- Paragraph text
- International mechanisms to protect internally displaced persons in situations of natural disasters are often not effective due to lack of understanding, knowledge and the capacity to address threats arising in disaster settings. OHCHR, UNHCR and UNICEF are still struggling to develop the capacity on the ground to match the commitment to leading on protection in disaster settings that they assumed during the course of the 2005 humanitarian reform initiative. The Representative therefore welcomes the expressed commitment of UNHCR to fill this gap within the IASC framework and in consultation with UNICEF and OHCHR, and hopes that its capacities will be enhanced accordingly. The Representative also encourages OHCHR and UNICEF to reinforce their efforts to increase capacity at headquarters and on the ground.
