Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 52
- Paragraph text
- Although they require initial funds and resources, such projects can become self-sustaining and income-generating and may provide a stepping stone towards the local integration of internally displaced persons and help to rebuild local economies. UNDP notes that such projects can strengthen capacities to cope with the shocks and negative impacts of a crisis. Internally displaced persons may be able to move out of collective shelters into rented accommodation and reduce their reliance on humanitarian assistance, therefore allowing such assistance to be targeted elsewhere. They can contribute to building social cohesion and assisting local integration. Various social groups may be involved in common activities that can build a sense of community. They may strengthen the capacity of and empower local civil society partners to maintain projects and replicate them in different locations. Working with local partners helps to shift the focus of projects away from the distribution of aid towards the delivery of services and the building of local resilience, by helping people to enhance their positive coping mechanisms.

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 67f
- Paragraph text
- Monitor, support and build capacity to address climate change-related internal displacement, including displacement due to both sudden and slow onset natural hazards. In that 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 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. 64
- Paragraph text
- Further areas in need of strengthened and more focused attention include preparedness, prevention and mitigation frameworks relating to internal displacement; norms relating to appropriate compensation of or reparation to internally displaced persons; climate change and approaches for addressing displacement in slow onset disasters; and bridging of the humanitarian/development gap, which continues to be both structural and operational. The need for greater support can also be envisaged in order to strengthen the role and capacity of national human rights institutions in the protection of the rights of internally displaced persons; to assist States in addressing the administrative and structural challenges faced by central and local authorities that impede effective responses to situations of internal displacement; and to assist regional institutions and States in the development of policy and legal frameworks on internal displacement, in line with international standards. While not exhaustive, the above list is representative of some of the opportunities and challenges in addressing internal displacement in coming years.

Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 22
- Paragraph text
- Several States and organizations made specific commitments on internally displaced persons, notably as follows: the European Union committed to implement its strategic vision on forced displacement, including promoting collaboration between humanitarian and development partners at the outset of crises, to strengthen data collection and analysis and to engage with Governments to ensure the inclusion of displaced persons in national development plans; the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland committed to increase multi-year humanitarian funding to protracted displacement situations; the United States of America committed to increase funding for humanitarian action and to increase financing sustainability in protracted displacement situations; Uganda committed to host a secretariat for the Kampala Convention; Somalia shared its plan to adopt a policy on internally displaced persons, in line with the Convention; the Philippines committed to adopt a national bill on internally displaced persons; and the World Bank vowed to tackle forced displacement as a high priority.

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. 32
- Paragraph text
- Various ad hoc initiatives to link emergency and development assistance followed the two international conferences, including IASC Working Group deliberations that led to the establishment of a reference group on post-conflict reintegration, convened by UNDP. In 1999, UNHCR and the World Bank co-sponsored two round tables on the gap between humanitarian assistance and long-term development in post-conflict, forced displacement contexts (known as the Brookings Process). Under the leadership of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the President of the World Bank, the round tables identified opportunities to improve institutional and financial arrangements to overcome the gap and field-level partnership initiatives to tackle the problem.

Governance structures for internal displacement 2015, para. 52
- Paragraph text
- In some cases displacement can be predicted to result from actions taken by Governments, which should therefore put appropriate measures in place. For example, development projects have displaced millions of people in all regions. Development-induced displacement requires careful management and consultation with the internally displaced persons and other affected communities. However, this is rarely done, resulting in violations of human rights, including forced displacement and violence. International standards must be adhered to, notably the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169) of the International Labour Organization, which requires obtaining the free, prior and informed consent of indigenous peoples regarding issues affecting them and their ancestral lands and territories. The basic principles and guidelines on development-based evictions and displacement (A/HRC/4/18, annex I) developed in 2007 by the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living provide valuable guidance to assist States in the development of policy and legislation to prevent forced evictions.

Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 46
- Paragraph text
- The commitment to action emphasizes that new ways of working require using resources and capabilities better, improving Sustainable Development Goal outcomes for people in situations of risk, vulnerability and crisis and shrinking humanitarian needs over the long term. It requires galvanizing new partnerships and collaboration, including the private sector, local actors and multilateral development banks, to provide additional capabilities and resources to achieve collective and measurable outcomes, based on a shared understanding of sustainability, vulnerability and resilience. Operationally, it will require shared data, analysis and information, joined-up planning and programming processes and more effective leadership, as well as new financing modalities to support collective outcomes. In this new way of working, internally displaced persons must be taken fully into account by States and international partners in their efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, as examined by the Special Rapporteur in his 2015 report to the Human Rights Council (A/HRC/29/34).

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 56
- Paragraph text
- While the increased frequency and intensity of sudden onset natural hazards, for example flooding or mudslides, associated with changes in climate are very apparent and are increasingly challenging many Governments, climate change-related adaptation strategies will also need to address slow onset events, such as increased droughts, desertification, environmental degradation and rising temperatures, which undermine agricultural livelihoods and reduce food security. In this context, it will be important to monitor and understand the regional particularities of related displacement patterns and their various causes, and to develop and support climate change adaptation frameworks which comprehensively integrate internal displacement from a human rights-based approach. Increased awareness, research and monitoring mechanisms are necessary in order to understand better the possible impact of displacement caused by global megatrends, for example human mobility and population growth, and factors such as climate change, and to enable Governments to anticipate, plan and adapt their socioeconomic and development structures and strategies.

Internally displaced women: progress, challenges and the way ahead 2013, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- However, opportunities for IDW to participate actively in decision-making processes remain particularly limited. For example, IDW have rarely played an active role in developing, implementing and monitoring national action plans on Security Council resolution 1325 (2000), although IDW in a diverse range of contexts have demonstrated their ability and determination to play leading roles in developing and implementing policies and programmes concerning them. Unfortunately, the participatory approaches used to identify protection gaps of concern to IDW often do not extend to ensuring that they have an active say in the development, implementation and evaluation of responses to these gaps. IDW should therefore be given the opportunity to actively participate in peace processes; in negotiating durable solutions and the planning process for returns, reintegration or resettlement; and in post-conflict reconstruction and rebuilding. Participation of women in humanitarian planning should further reflect the diversity of the population and seek to include adolescent girls, youth and those with disabilities.

- Paragraph text
- The Secretary-General's Agenda for Humanity lays out innovative and creative approaches: States should invest in political solutions to end the causes of displacement and in the return, integration or resettlement of the displaced; develop national legislation, policies and capacities for the protection of displaced persons and their integration into national social safety nets, education programmes, labour markets and development plans; recognize displaced people as socioeconomic assets rather than "responsibilities" and incentivize the development of local markets and private sector activity; direct appropriate national resources and international financing towards national and local systems that address their needs and those of host communities; ensure that humanitarian and development actors, local authorities and private sector enterprises work collectively, across institutional divides and mandates and in multi-year frameworks, to end aid dependency and promote self-reliance; and adopt and implement regional and national legal and policy frameworks on internal displacement.

The very nature of urban displacement, however, tends to lend weight to local integration as the viable choice preferred by internally displaced persons in urban areas. Informed by the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons, the Special Rapporteur reiterates his recommendations made in his previous reports (A/HRC/19/54 and A/68/225) and adds the following recommendations to:] [International organizations, including humanitarian and development actors, and urban planners as relevant] Promote the development of an inter-agency platform for information management on trends and protection concerns with regard to internally displaced persons, making it publicly available, and develop a more comprehensive understanding of the complexity of urban environments and systems (e.g. responsible urbanization, urban planning and building codes);

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 43
- 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.

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 31
- Paragraph text
- This humanitarian reform process, and the cluster system currently in place, seeks to render the humanitarian response (including in internal displacement situations) more predictable, through a system by which different organizations assume lead responsibility for specific sectors of the response. The system has introduced significant improvements with regard to predictability, clearer lines of responsibility and improved coordination. It has also raised a number of challenges, including the challenge of coordination between a large number of diverse actors with different organizational mandates, tools and approaches. The ongoing work being done to streamline some of those approaches and tools, to enhance coordination and information sharing systems, and to learn from the ongoing evaluation of the work of cluster teams in various parts of the world, and the wider efforts to strengthen humanitarian system structures (such as through the current "transformative agenda"), are essential to the evolution of a system challenged not only by its own structural complexities but also by complex and changing humanitarian environments and needs.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 42
- Paragraph text
- Such complexities do not serve as excuses for not undertaking profiling, given that the failure to do so complicates planning and programming regarding durable solutions and may actually render such solutions unsustainable. Rather, the complexities point to the need for and importance of specialized and knowledge-based services in the field of profiling, such as those provided by the Joint IDP Profiling Service. Georgia, Serbia and Sri Lanka offer examples of recent profiling exercises in the context of durable solutions. The Special Rapporteur insists on the absolute necessity of profiling exercises to ensure that policies and programmes effectively respond to the evidence-based durable solution needs of internally displaced persons. In many contexts, the lack of cross-thematic profiles of the experience and intentions of displaced persons makes programming and policies less adapted and accurate. As often emphasized by the Special Rapporteur, the profiling exercise should, to achieve its goal, remain participatory and respectful of the anonymity required for the protection of those concerned.

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. 29
- Paragraph text
- Since at least the 1960s, the case for bridging the gap between relief and development assistance to displaced populations has been made, but efforts to tackle the problem have waxed and waned. It is the collective experience of the mandate holders over the years that internally displaced persons are worse after the emergency phase of humanitarian assistance in terms of livelihoods, social services, shelter, adequate food and access to health and education, for example. This is due to the fact that humanitarian actors often disengage from providing assistance after the emergency phase of a humanitarian crisis and development actors do not become involved until normal conditions for promoting early recovery, reconstruction and durable solutions are established.

The Special Rapporteur was one of the high-level leaders at the round table in which core commitments that are directly relevant to internally displaced people were addressed. These are:] Core commitment 3. Acknowledge the global public good provided by countries and communities which are hosting large numbers of refugees. Commit to providing communities with large numbers of displaced population or receiving a large number of returnees with the necessary political, policy and financial support to address the humanitarian and socioeconomic impact. To this end, commit to strengthen multilateral financing instruments. Commit to foster host communities' self-reliance and resilience, as part of the comprehensive and integrated approach outlined in core commitment 1.

Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 58
- Paragraph text
- Despite the unprecedented global displacement figures, much internal displacement goes unacknowledged, unrecorded and is not responded to by Governments and the international community. Hundreds of thousands of those who are entitled to protection and assistance as internally displaced persons under international standards are left to fend for themselves. A protection gap exists for many internally displaced persons globally who are the victims of causes of displacement that include generalized and criminal violence, discrimination and other human rights violations, development projects and business activities, or other neglected factors. These factors result in internally displaced persons who are uniquely vulnerable, outside of camps or other support and assistance settings, hosted by local communities and families, and frequently "invisible" and impoverished in urban settings. Failure by Governments to identify them as internally displaced persons leaves many unable to access assistance and support. Denial or neglect of the problem of internal displacement often means that, at the national level, no protection or support mechanisms exist.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 55
- Paragraph text
- National policies related to local integration must be "translated into both political and financial support for local authorities and communities". Profiling exercises, and surveys of intentions among IDPs in order to gage what particular durable solutions they are envisaging can assist in assessing the resources and measures which are necessary. These will be important for planning purposes, and allow improved access by provincial and municipal actors to national and international funding, including by development actors. Most effective local integration programmes will combine IDP-specific interventions with community-wide programmes. Where the numbers of IDPs warrant it, the integration of displacement issues in local development, poverty reduction plans and labour market integration schemes, can also represent an effective strategy, which can be enhanced by the active participation of IDP representatives. Furthermore, other sources of practice and experience can be tapped, such as innovative local integration practices which have been used in the context of refugee integration programmes, or community revitalization projects.

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 39
- Paragraph text
- The Kampala Convention represents a pioneering instrument in several respects. It recognizes a range of causes of internal displacement for which States parties are obliged to protect and assist internally displaced persons, including, most notably, climate change and development projects. It specifically requires national authorities to take a number of specific measures, such as developing appropriate institutional mechanisms, policies, strategies and legislation, and identifying funds for protection and assistance activities. In addition to stipulating the obligations of States parties, the Convention also outlines responsibilities of non-State actors and armed groups with regard to protection and assistance to internally displaced persons in areas under their control. The Special Rapporteur is pleased to note that, as of 19 July 2012, the Convention had been signed by 38 member States, and ratified by 14 member States, 13 of which had already deposited their ratifications. It is encouraging to see the member States of the African Union recognize their responsibilities to protect and assist those affected by developing the first legally binding instrument specific to internal displacement.

The primary duty of the State to provide humanitarian assistance and the corresponding rights of internally displaced persons 2010, para. 64
- Paragraph text
- In theatres of asymmetric conflict such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia, humanitarians have become targets of armed non-State groups that perceive them as contributing to military and political efforts to strengthen the respective Governments. As a result, they sometimes become a strategic target in the eyes of anyone intent on destabilizing the country. This deliberate targeting also affects ordinary crime, since humanitarians are no longer perceived as persons enjoying special protection but rather lucrative targets. In Somalia, for example, the Representative learned that kidnappings of humanitarian workers were often perpetrated by gangs of ordinary criminals who then demanded ransom or, failing payment, sold their victims through intermediaries to armed groups with a political agenda. In Chad, lawlessness in certain areas of the country has become the main obstacle to humanitarian access. In other situations, politically motivated public statements by political leaders that vilify humanitarian actors make them more vulnerable.

- Paragraph text
- In 2006, however, the Guiding Principles would assume a new legal stature in the context of Africa, when member States of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region established a legal framework for the formal legal adoption and implementation of the Guiding Principles. As part of the Conference process, 11 States of the Great Lakes region of Africa adopted in 2006 a binding Pact on Security, Stability and Development in the Great Lakes Region, with 10 separate protocols, including two which recognize the importance of the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, namely the Protocol on the Protection and Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons and the Protocol on the Property Rights of Returning Persons. The Protocol on Internally Displaced Persons, which entered into force in June 2008, obliges member States of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region to enact national legislation to domesticate the Guiding Principles fully and to provide a legal framework for their implementation within national legal systems (art. 6.3) and to ensure the effective participation of internally displaced persons in developing such legislation (art. 6.5).

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 24
- Paragraph text
- Numerous guidance tools and coordination structures to respond to the needs of IDPs living in camps, such as the Camp Coordination and Camp Management Cluster, have been developed over the years. By contrast, relatively little exists for IDPs outside camps. A number of factors often converge to focus assistance and attention to IDPs in camp situations. In many case, camps or settlements are constituted spontaneously by mass influxes of IDPs seeking protection and assistance, or in reaction to emergency situations in which immediate and often life-saving responses require concentrated assistance in certain areas (e.g. sites of natural disasters). With the passage of time, however, protracted displacement in artificial camp settings has often given rise to important humanitarian, protection and development concerns, for the IDP population, the country and sometimes for a region as a whole. In some instances, they may even become a pull factor for poor sectors of the population who may move into camps in order to have access to its basic services and assistance, thus compounding the problem.

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 84c
- 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:] 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.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 26
- Paragraph text
- Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons is a long and complex process. Internally displaced persons must exercise a free and informed choice of durable solutions, i.e. to reintegrate at the place of origin (return), to locally integrate in areas in which they have found refuge (local integration) or to integrate in another part of the country (settlement elsewhere in the country). The Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons is fully applicable to solutions in urban contexts and the solutions process that it outlines is an important indicator for long-term planning processes. A key indicator is, according to the Framework, when internally displaced persons no longer have specific assistance and protection needs linked to their displacement and can enjoy their human rights without discrimination on account of their displacement. However, solutions in urban areas, such as local integration, are often challenged by additional obstacles arising from the specificities of internal displacement in such settings. They are discussed below.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 61d
- Paragraph text
- [Durable solutions remain available options for internally displaced persons, including those in urban settings. The very nature of urban displacement, however, tends to lend weight to local integration as the viable choice preferred by internally displaced persons in urban areas. Informed by the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons, the Special Rapporteur reiterates his recommendations made in his previous reports (A/HRC/19/54 and A/68/225) and adds the following recommendations to:] [National and municipal authorities] Ensure the full participation of internally displaced persons in drafting laws and policies that address durable solutions for them and undertake large-scale consultations with communities and neighbourhoods to address their broader concerns with regard to local integration for internally displaced persons or settlement in another neighbourhood and how they can be best implemented in practice, in tandem with host communities and the rest of the displacement-affected urban population;

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. 27
- Paragraph text
- Holders of the mandate have addressed and cooperated with the Peacebuilding Commission, encouraging its secretariat to include the rights of displaced persons in its deliberations (see A/62/227, para. 58) and providing expertise on issues relating to internally displaced persons with regard to Burundi and the Central African Republic (see A/65/282 and Corr.1, para. 54). Recognizing that addressing internal displacement in peace agreements is an important step towards achieving durable solutions and ensuring the sustainability of peacebuilding efforts, a previous mandate holder, in cooperation with the Department of Political Affairs of the Secretariat, developed a guide for mediators on integrating internal displacement into peace processes and peace agreements (see ibid., paras. 38 and 39).

Governance structures for internal displacement 2015, para. 82
- Paragraph text
- Questions related to housing, land and property are often complex and require effective management. Effective and accessible mechanisms for timely restitution of housing, land and property rights of internally displaced persons must be established for them to achieve durable solutions, regardless of the solution they have opted for. The Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework states that "the right to restitution or compensation extends to all displaced persons - including men, women and children - who have lost ownership, tenancy rights or other access entitlements to their housing, land and property, whether they have formal or informal titles or rights on the basis of mere uncontested use or occupation …." The Special Rapporteur also recalls the importance of States implementing the principles on housing and property restitution for refugees and displaced persons, developed by the Special Rapporteur of the Subcommission on Promotion and Protection of Human Rights, Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro (E/CN.4/Sub.2/2005/17, annex), most notably principles 12.1-12.6 relating to national procedures, institutions and mechanisms for considering restitution claims of displaced persons.
