86. For some countries, expertise in dealing with displacement is lacking and mu st
be quickly developed. Benefiting from technical assistance and the experience of
countries that have gone through displacement encourages good practice and
sharing of experiences. Establishing a central repository of guidelines, tools and
best practices would assist States and could be developed to also function as a
platform for dialogue between States and different international actors. In this
respect, the Solutions Alliance, established in 2014, may provide a useful platform
and resource. It works to support responses to forced displacement through
collaborative approaches among States and humanitarian and development actors,
among others, and to enable the transition of displaced persons away from
dependency on aid towards increased resilience, self-reliance and development.
V. Conclusions and recommendations
87. 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.
88. The task will not be achieved through business as usual. It must be
achieved without shortcuts, using evidence-based approaches, informed and
accurate disaggregated data and best practices consistent with respecting and
ensuring respect for the human rights of internally displaced persons. It
requires a commitment to preventing new displacement and to neutralizing the
triggers and drivers of displacement, as well as achieving durable solutions and
putting in place the necessary processes and resources. Closely monitoring
State practice to ensure that reductions in displacement are fully compliant
with international standards will be essential.
89. 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.
90. 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
