A/70/334 recommendations relevant to the pursuit of durable solutions with respect to housing, land, property restitution and similar issues. 14 91. In Sri Lanka, the Commission of Inquiry on Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation was established in 2010. Its final report, published in 2011, contains chapters focusing specifically on internally displaced persons. The Commission acknowledged that without medium- and long-term durable solutions for internally displaced persons, a sustainable and all-inclusive reconciliation process could not be achieved. During his visit to Sri Lanka in December 2013, the Special Rapporteur supported the conclusion of the Commission and its recommendation that a uniform State policy be adopted aimed at the resettlement of internally displaced persons and/or integrating them into host communities, reiterating the need to raise awareness among internally displaced persons about the options available to them and to respect their final decision (A/HRC/26/33/Add.4). IV. Conclusions and recommendations 92. 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. 93. The Special Rapporteur’s recommendations are informed by the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons and other relevant standards, including the framework for national responsibility for addressing international displacement put forward by the Brookings -Bern Project on Internal Displacement, 15 as well as his own experience of dealing with internal displacement issues in a number of countries. They should be used only as guidance tools, to be tailored to the specific national contexts and displacement situation in any country. 94. The Special Rapporteur recommends that States affected by internal displacement: (a) Develop national legal and policy frameworks on internal displacement that set up the institutional response and clearly define the roles and responsibilities of government ministries and other bodies in response to internal displacement and put budgets in place; __________________ 14 15 24/26 Megan Bradley, “Truth-telling and displacement: patterns and prospects”, in Transitional Justice and Displacement, Roger Duthie, ed.
