Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 43
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- At the regional level, the Kampala Convention, the only legally binding regional standard on internal displacement, was adopted in October 2009. The Special Rapporteur will continue to support the African Union by promoting implementation of the Convention, including through the Conference of States Parties, and attended the historic first meeting of the Conference, held in Harare from 3 to 5 April 2017. She emphasized that its establishment was an essential next step towards promoting and monitoring implementation of the Convention. She will engage closely with African States — those visited by her predecessors, and other States — to initiate and extend dialogue and to offer technical cooperation to assist them to fulfil commitments under the Convention. She issued a press release in which she noted that States must adopt concrete measures to ensure that this innovative and comprehensive agreement translates into real gains for internally displaced persons. In view of the positive example set by the African Union, she will continue to advocate for regional standards for the protection of internally displaced persons to be adopted in other regions, as relevant.
