Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 28
- Paragraph text
- In view of her strategic and thematic priorities, the Special Rapporteur has also begun to significantly strengthen cooperation and institutional relationships with the United Nations Development Programme, the International Organization for Migration and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), among others. In addition to conducting bilateral meetings with these entities, she is investigating practical measures for them to institutionalize their cooperation with the mandate, including through the establishment of focal points in such organizations relating to specific areas of collaboration. Furthermore, the Special Rapporteur will expand her collaboration with national human rights institutions, with a view to identifying positive practices in their work relating to internally displaced persons (see section IV. D. below).

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur will continue essential work to promote the development and implementation of legal and policy frameworks that are key to addressing internal displacement at all levels. While her predecessors played a leadership role in developing key international, regional and national frameworks, including the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the IASC Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons, the Special Rapporteur will prioritize implementation and operationalization of these standards, in close collaboration with national governments, regional mechanisms and other relevant stakeholders. She will advocate for standards to be translated into domestic law and policy and will assist States and other organizations through direct engagement, recommendations, awareness-raising and mobilization of support. In line with this, the mandate holder will continue to co-chair, with UNHCR, the Global Protection Cluster’s task team on law and policy.

- Paragraph text
- On 25 January 2017, the Special Rapporteur began consultations on this issue by convening an expert discussion on the participation of internally displaced persons, with relevant United Nations and international NGO partners active on this issue. This served to further her understanding of the issues and challenges and allowed her to obtain the views of key partners and consider positive practices. She will continue to seek positive examples from all regions that she can promote for possible use in other displacement situations. Furthermore, the Special Rapporteur recognizes that international advocacy efforts to promote the rights of internally displaced persons benefit from the actual participation of internally displaced persons. However, internally displaced persons are rarely present in such forums, and she will encourage and advocate for their participation in such regional and international events.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur is alarmed by the inadequate levels of funding available for the essential work of humanitarian and development partners and civil society, especially those on the ground. She applauds the international donor community for its essential funding of humanitarian and development responses globally. She urges donors to maintain and expand essential funding, while incorporating the provisions of the Grand Bargain on humanitarian financing, including flexibility of funding to facilitate new approaches to humanitarian crises, and new ways of working to provide greater attention to durable solutions to internal displacement. A shortfall of funding by some national governments to adequately address their internal displacement situations, as well as mismanagement of funds, poor governance and lack of accountability, have, in some cases, created overreliance on the international community, which is unsustainable in the long term.

- Paragraph text
- Lack of information, of consultation and of meaningful participation, or tokenistic participation, means that recovery efforts are more likely to fail and may not meet the needs or expectations of the internally displaced communities affected. It can result in deeper and more persistent levels of poverty, as internally displaced persons face the challenges of re-establishing normal lives and appropriate livelihoods under conditions that they were not fully involved in shaping. The challenges to ensuring the meaningful participation of internally displaced persons are significant and must be acknowledged to have hampered efforts in some situations. Cultural, social, historical and political factors must all be taken into account when shaping participation programmes. The challenge remains to ensure that inclusive participation of internally displaced persons is systematically applied and effectively managed in all displacement situations.

- Paragraph text
- Truth commissions and criminal prosecution of perpetrators also form key elements of transitional justice. The experience of forced displacement often encompasses massive human rights abuses, prior to, during and in the aftermath of the displacement, the legacy of which continues while persons remain in displacement and even after they have achieved physical return, resettlement or integration elsewhere. Internally displaced persons must be included in community reconciliation and social cohesion projects, which form important elements of peacebuilding initiatives and from which they are frequently excluded. The understanding that internally displaced persons have the right to participate fully in transitional justice mechanisms and peacebuilding processes must be reinforced, as must the responsibility of governments to guarantee their participation and to ensure that transitional justice is achieved for them in practice.

- Paragraph text
- Situations of generalized violence do not constitute conflict but may have a similar impact on those forced to leave their homes. Greater research is required to reveal the full extent of the problem and its impact on individuals, families and communities. As highlighted by the former Special Rapporteur, governments may not acknowledge violence-induced displacement as triggering their obligations to protect the affected persons as internally displaced persons under international law and standards, including the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. Equally, those affected may not know or claim their rights to protection as internally displaced persons and may in fact seek anonymity due to threats and the risk of violence, making them hard to identify and reach with assistance.

- Paragraph text
- To fully achieve durable solutions for internally displaced persons, they must receive justice for the harm done to them, the human rights violations and the loss of life and property, through processes that go beyond their physical return, local integration or resettlement. The Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons recognizes that “this may entail the right to reparation, justice, truth and closure for past injustices through transitional justice or other appropriate measures”, and that “internally displaced persons who have been victims of violations of international human rights or humanitarian law, including arbitrary displacement, must have full and non-discriminatory access to effective remedies and access to justice, including, where appropriate, access to existing transitional justice mechanisms, reparations and information on the causes of violations”.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur recognizes the mandate’s responsibility to raise awareness of — and support action to prevent or address — neglected causes of displacement, and to raise awareness about populations of internally displaced persons who require greater visibility and attention. These drivers include development projects and generalized violence, and may also include complex and interlinked causes, such as the intersection between conflict, development and business interests. The number of people internally displaced by such factors may run to millions worldwide, who do not feature in the annual displacement figures as these commonly reflect only persons who have been internally displaced by conflict and disasters.

- The Special Rapporteur will seek to continue her engagement with countries where generalized violence is the cause of internal displacement. In particular, the Special Rapporteur seeks to continue the mandate’s support to Honduras, visited by the former Special Rapporteur in 2015 and 2016, to examine the situation of violence-related internal displacement, and to maintain her support for the Government in its work to protect internally displaced persons, including through the adoption of a law on internally displaced persons. Furthermore, she thanks the Government of El Salvador and the Government of Guatemala for their positive responses to her requests for official visits to those countries, and will conduct an official visit to El Salvador in the second half of 2017 and to Guatemala in 2019.

- At the same time, the Special Rapporteur points out that the primary responsibility for protecting populations of internally displaced persons within national State boundaries remains with the respective States. While on the one hand, a good number of these internally displaced persons may be able to cross borders, as pointed out above, a good number remain in the territory of their respective States. The Special Rapporteur is of the strong view that political will and resources must be ensured for protection of the human rights of internally displaced persons, whether or not they would potentially cross international borders.

- Paragraph text
- At the national level, the Special Rapporteur has been deeply concerned by challenges experienced on the ground by humanitarian and development partners in the delivery of their essential services and assistance. These include challenges regarding access to persons and communities affected by internal displacement, due to security concerns or restrictions imposed by national governments, as well as by non-State armed groups and similar non-State actors, particularly in conflict situations. These obstacles seriously hamper their ability to provide essential and life-saving support. The Special Rapporteur will support and collaborate with United Nations agencies and bodies to advocate strongly for States to fulfil their obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law and standards to provide free and unfettered access to all communities in need of assistance. In this context, the Special Rapporteur would also like to give due attention to the role of non-State actors.

- Paragraph text
- Interaction with internally displaced persons commonly reveals: a lack of information provided to them at all phases of displacement; infrequent engagement by the authorities responsible; an absence of or inadequate mechanisms and processes for consultation and participation; and decision-making processes that fail to take their views, needs and objectives fully into account. Ensuring that internally displaced persons are included from the outset, in the design, planning and implementation of all actions and measures directed towards them, must be at the heart of responses by national governments and by all humanitarian, development and other relevant actors. Participation empowers internally displaced communities, informs them of their rights and is instrumental in the process of community resilience-building and recovery, where it is effective and results-oriented. Moreover, meaningful participation returns essential dignity to communities devastated by displacement, allowing them to be agents in their own recovery rather than only beneficiaries of assistance.

- 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 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.

- The Special Rapporteur recognizes the important work already undertaken, including research and case studies conducted by the International Center for Transitional Justice and the Brookings-LSE Project on Internal Displacement, among other contributions. Equally, international standards, such as the principles on housing and property restitution for refugees and displaced persons and the related Handbook on Housing and Property Restitution for Refugees and Displaced Persons, deliver valuable guidance relating to specific areas of concern. This provides strong foundations for further development, with the objective of operationalizing existing resources and providing technical assistance for their implementation. The Special Rapporteur will collaborate with United Nations bodies and other international organizations, NGOs and national human rights institutions to make progress in this regard.

She will give high priority to those States with the most critical, challenging and persistent displacement situations, while also seeking visits based on her thematic priorities. She has sent initial requests for visits and encourages States to respond positively. The Special Rapporteur welcomes the positive responses received to date from the Government of El Salvador and the Government of Guatemala for her to conduct visits in 2017 and 2019 respectively. In conformity with the practice of the mandate, she will also conduct working visits and follow-up visits, at the invitation of a variety of stakeholders, including United Nations agencies, to consider internal displacement issues and to engage with a range of actors, including national authorities.

- Since taking up her duties on 1 November 2016, the Special Rapporteur has undertaken a series of bilateral consultations with key stakeholders in order to shape her strategic priorities. This process of consultation culminated on 25 January 2017 with a stakeholder meeting in Geneva for the Special Rapporteur to present and receive feedback on her initial strategic priorities and on the main thematic priorities for her work over the next three years. She was honoured to have her predecessors, Chaloka Beyani and Walter Kälin, on the panel, and attendance by over 35 participants from Member States, United Nations agencies and civil society, who provided their perspectives, views and recommendations. Following the event, on 21 February 2017, the Special Rapporteur had occasion to present her strategic and thematic priorities to a broader, online audience of close to 300 persons worldwide through a web course hosted by Professionals in Humanitarian Action and Protection.

To that end, she participated in her first IASC Principals’ meeting in Geneva on 6 December 2016, which will be followed by the IASC Principals’ retreat scheduled for 28 April 2017. Moreover, she took part in an IASC Working Group meeting held in Rome on 5 and 6 April 2017, in which she provided an update on activities under a joint project between the Special Rapporteur and the Joint IDP Profiling Service and in collaboration with a broad group of development, humanitarian and peacebuilding actors to operationalize the IASC Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons. The project is aimed at developing tools, methodologies and guidance, for shared and comprehensive yet practical approaches to durable solutions analysis in displacement situations.

The Special Rapporteur urges the international community to ensure that it maintains much-needed attention on 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 and have not been provided with the necessary protection and support allowing them to remain in their own countries if they so wish.

- While internally displaced persons have the right to cross international borders and the right to seek asylum in other countries, both of which must be guaranteed, responding to their protection and assistance needs within their countries, supporting durable solutions for them and addressing the overall root causes of their displacement remains fundamental. Indeed, the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants points to links between internal displacement and large movements of migrants and refugees: We recognize the very large number of people who are displaced within national borders and the possibility that such persons might seek protection and assistance in other countries as refugees or migrants. We note the need for reflection on effective strategies to ensure adequate protection and assistance for internally displaced persons and to prevent and reduce such displacement.

Upon the invitation of the latter, the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons participated in the OHCHR regional consultations on transitional justice in the Asia-Pacific region, held on 9 and 10 November 2016 in Colombo. She will engage in dialogue with governments undergoing transitional justice and peace processes to promote the inclusion of internally displaced persons and to learn about those governments’ experiences, challenges and practices. She will seek to conduct visits to countries relevant to this thematic focus, and to date has issued visit requests to Colombia and Nepal. She will use her mandate to gather positive practices, guidelines and case studies on the issues and will establish a section of her website dedicated to these issues. Her work on this issue will be ongoing, and she will devote a thematic report to the issue.

- The Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement establish that the prohibition of arbitrary displacement includes displacement “in cases of large-scale development projects, which are not justified by compelling and overriding public interests” (principle No. 6). While recognizing the significant benefits that development projects often bring to societies more widely, especially those in less developed countries, questions remain as to the appropriate criteria and parameters to be applied in cases where development could lead to internal displacement. The Special Rapporteur will consult with global and national development actors, including United Nations bodies and agencies, and other stakeholders, with the objective of clarifying the practices employed and the criteria applied at all phases of development processes.

In addition, she intends to send a questionnaire to relevant national human rights institutions and to seek to collaborate with the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions in this regard.

In this regard, the Special Rapporteur participated as an expert panellist in the ninth Forum on Minority Issues, the theme for which was minorities in situations of humanitarian crises, held in Geneva on 24 and 25 November 2016. She emphasized that ethnic or religious identity could be a factor increasing the vulnerability of some communities to displacement, and she contributed to a series of recommendations.

- 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.

- The Special Rapporteur considers that internally displaced persons are frequently the least, the last and the lost in terms of national and international attention to their plight. It is a core priority of the mandate holder to promote visibility and effective protection for all internally displaced persons, including those who have become invisible or neglected, the most vulnerable, and those facing the greatest challenges resulting from their displacement. She will therefore take an impact-oriented and human rights-based approach to her work, focusing on building and strengthening constructive partnerships and collaborations with the objective of delivering effective assistance and protection on the ground. Her working methods will build on those established by her predecessors, while also emphasizing the identification of opportunities and entry points to engage directly and constructively with States and other stakeholders in emerging, ongoing and protracted internal displacement situations.

Furthermore, the Special Rapporteur will put particular emphasis on consultations with internally displaced persons and displacement-affected communities and, where they exist, with internally displaced persons’ organizations or associations, which remain key counterparts for the mandate in order to ensure that their voices and perspectives are better reflected in all relevant forums. She will seek to increase the presence and role of internally displaced persons, including women, in national, regional and international forums to ensure that their unique experiences and perspectives come to the fore.
