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. 33
- Paragraph text
- While the Brookings Process prompted a task force on peace, conflict and security under the auspices of the Development Cooperation Directorate of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development to examine best practices pertaining to the gap between relief and development assistance and spurred greater cooperation between the World Bank and UNHCR, it was ultimately unable to secure major changes in the operational cultures of donors and humanitarian and development actors. Nonetheless, the Brookings Process was revived in 2003 to inform UNHCR initiatives under the Framework for Durable Solutions for Refugees and Persons of Concern, including with regard to development assistance for refugees; repatriation, reintegration, rehabilitation and reconstruction; and development through local integration. UNDP, UNHCR and the World Bank have noted that "these initiatives generated mixed results but in the process all contributed immensely to the debate".6 In 2004, in guidance on durable solutions, the United Nations Development Group recognized the predominantly ad hoc approach taken and called for an integrated approach to addressing the development challenges that displacement prevention and sustainable integration of internally displaced persons posed.

Climate change and internal displacement 2011, para. 53

- Much of the attention to date in the area of protection from displacement has focused on protecting individuals or communities from "arbitrary" displacement (Guiding Principle 6), resulting from active violations of human rights by the State or other actors, such as when displacement is used as a form of collective punishment or to effect policies of ethnic cleansing, or when large-scale development projects fail to meet set requirements.

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 40
- Paragraph text
- The stereotypical image of internally displaced persons - reinforced by media reports - remains that of people who flee conflict areas and end up destitute in camps or collective shelters. The reality is far more complex. Every year more people are displaced by natural disasters and development projects than by conflict and violence. The majority of the displaced live with host families or communities, or merge with the urban poor.

Paragraphe
A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 28
- Paragraph text
- There has often been an implicit assumption that IDPs living outside of camps are less in need of protection and assistance because they are being cared for by family, neighbours or friends, or that they have somehow found a solution on their own. While some may indeed have elected to stay out of camps because they did not want or need assistance, and others managed to progress towards durable solutions on their own, many IDPs outside camps are not in these situations. In some cases, IDPs may need the assistance and protection of an organized camp, but may not have that option: they may be displaced in isolated or remote locations (where there is no camp or host community), not be able to physically make it to camp areas, fear detection by authorities, or camps may be simply be closed or discouraged due to government policies. Moreover, even when IDPs outside camps benefit from initial resources and the support and structures of a host community, these resources tend to degrade over time. In many cases IDPs with sufficient resources to cope in the initial months of displacement, often find these quickly dwindling as they struggle with the high costs of housing, lack of access to land and livelihoods, inability to access social services, the loss of most of their material possessions, and the absence of their usual support structures. As a result, some IDPs outside camps may become more vulnerable over time.

Climate change and internal displacement 2011, para. 67
- Paragraph text
- The urban dimensions of climate change-induced displacement should therefore factor as a key consideration in national medium- and long-term national development strategies, as well as adaptation measures to address potential displacement. Cities may need to become more "expandable" to absorb potential influxes of people. At the same time, in order to decrease unplanned urban migratory flows, potential displacement situations need to be better managed.

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. 47
- Paragraph text
- These reconceptualizations are important to integrating displacement and durable solutions into national, regional and municipal development plans and peacebuilding and transitional justice strategies. In this context, it is essential to see durable solutions as options available to internally displaced persons, moving beyond viewing return as a litmus test for stability and recognizing that returnees may be affected by a range of socioeconomic and security concerns. To better understand the ways in which peacebuilding approaches may support durable solutions (including through strengthening civil society groups, analysing sectarian dynamics, managing conflict in return communities and facilitating dialogue between conflicted groups), it may be helpful for the Peacebuilding Support Office to undertake a thematic review of the issue. Such a review could promote more consistent engagement in support of solutions from within the peacebuilding community and help humanitarian and development actors to effectively integrate peacebuilding approaches into durable solutions interventions, with support from the Peacebuilding Fund and from the peace and development advisers jointly deployed by UNDP and the Department of Political Affairs of the Secretariat.

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 62
- Paragraph text
- The 2005 humanitarian reform initiative created an early recovery cluster, with UNDP as lead, thus acknowledging the importance of the transition between humanitarian action in emergency situations and steps towards full recovery. The Representative has on several occasions observed a gap between the phasing out by humanitarian actors and the arrival of development actors. He stresses the need for humanitarian and development actors to work hand in hand and to begin recovery activities as early as possible. Present weaknesses in early recovery activities are exacerbated by underfunding of the early recovery cluster and the lack of flexible funding mechanisms in this area.

- Arbitrary displacement can also be caused by negligence, especially where authorities fail to exercise their obligation to take all reasonable and necessary measures to protect life, physical integrity, health and property from natural disasters. The Representative notes the growing body of law holding authorities accountable for such failures. The European Court of Human Rights has ordered States to pay compensation for having negligently failed to take appropriate measures to protect people from natural or human-made hazards. The Kampala Convention also stipulates that States parties are liable to make reparation if they fail to protect and assist internally displaced persons in the event of natural disasters.

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 41
- Paragraph text
- Natural disasters displace more people than any other cause but their displacement tends to be shorter than conflict or violence-related displacement. The effects of climate change are likely to further increase the numbers of the disaster-displaced. Not only is climate change expected to increase the magnitude and frequency of sudden-onset disasters such as storms or flooding, but it is also likely to exacerbate slow-onset disasters, including droughts, desertification, and rising sea levels, that also force people to move. As a result of the effects of climate change, between 50 and 250 million people may move by the middle of the century on a permanent or temporary basis. Many of them will move voluntarily as part of adaptation strategies of families and communities, yet others will have no other choice but to leave their homes. Most of these displaced will stay within their country as internally displaced persons.

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 66
- Paragraph text
- General insecurity in crisis-affected States suffering from a breakdown of law and order is on the rise. Virtually all modern armed conflicts involve non-State armed groups and many of them operate more like unscrupulous criminal gangs than armed political movements with a sense of respect for humanitarian principles. In several countries, humanitarian operations have been deliberately targeted in attacks. Internally displaced persons and other crisis-affected populations suffer the consequences (and this destabilizing effect may be the very intent of attacks on humanitarians).

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 76
- Paragraph text
- The Representative has consistently emphasized that allowing internally displaced persons to normalize their living situation does not in any way extinguish their right to return. On the contrary, people who have regained control of their lives are in a much stronger position to eventually achieve a durable solution, while also posing less of a burden to local communities and social services. The Representative has engaged with the Governments of Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Serbia and Turkey on this issue and notes that this has led to some positive policy changes on the part of the Governments concerned.

Climate change and internal displacement 2011, para. 36
- Paragraph text
- Other actors have also enriched the discussion by focusing on specific rights or the impact of climate change on particular groups. In addition to posing a direct threat to the right to life, the effects of climate change are expected to have negative implications for basic rights relating to food (A/HRC/7/5), housing (A/64/255), water and health, and affect the overall right to an adequate standard of living (A/HRC/10/61, paras. 21-38). Some of these analyses have highlighted the link between the lack of access to these rights and displacement. In the context of climate change, internally displaced persons are also a growing category of persons considered to be especially at risk, given the adverse material, social and psychological consequences commonly associated with displacement. These risks are heightened by the fact that the most serious effects of climate change, including displacement, are predicted to disproportionately affect poor regions and countries and populations already in a vulnerable situation owing to poverty and other factors.

- Agro-fuel production and programmes to preserve forest cover, which have at times been found to impinge on the rights of indigenous peoples in relation to their traditional lands and culture, are examples of how some climate change mitigation measures can have adverse consequences and lead to forced displacement. Guidelines developed to date by development actors in the context of large-scale development projects, including some which promote clean energy such as hydroelectric dams, have been criticized as well for failing to minimize displacement and sufficiently apply human rights standards.

- Paragraph text
- Durable solutions for displaced populations should be part of national adaptation plans, and local and national capacity-building programmes, and be supported by funds made available for adaptation measures. They should also be part of national development plans. Some effects of climate change, however, may affect the types of durable solutions accessible to affected populations. In the case of certain types of slow-onset disasters, for example, return may not be a viable alternative for the foreseeable future. This highlights the need to explore various possible options early on and integrate them within national development and adaptation plans, in order to minimize the social and humanitarian consequences of spontaneous and large-scale internal displacement. In extreme situations, such as the case of some low-lying island States, where conditions are no longer fit for human habitation, durable solutions may also have to be explored through regional and international cooperative efforts, which may pave the way for new standards and options, including cross-border displacements.

Climate change and internal displacement 2011, para. 20
- Paragraph text
- The socio-economic impact of climate change is expected to have significant consequences for the enjoyment of human rights, for the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals and for human security (A/HRC/10/61) In this context, internal displacement represents a further challenge of adaptation to the effects of climate change. In its resolution 64/162 of 18 December 2009, the General Assembly recognized natural disasters as a cause of internal displacement and voiced concern about factors, such as climate change, that were expected to exacerbate the impact of natural hazards, and climate-related slow-onset events.

Climate change and internal displacement 2011, para. 44
- Paragraph text
- At the national level, the Guiding Principles are being increasingly used by many countries to develop their domestic laws and policies (see A/HRC/13/21, para. 15, and General Assembly resolution 64/162, paras. 10 and 13). The Nansen Principles (see para. 37 above) recognize the importance of the Guiding Principles in addressing climate change-induced internal displacement at the national level. Principle VIII states: "The Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement provide a sound legal framework to address protection concerns arising from climate and other environmentally-related internal displacement. States are encouraged to ensure the adequate implementation and operationalization of these principles through national legislation, policies and institutions."

Climate change and internal displacement 2011, para. 49
- Paragraph text
- Early warning mechanisms can be instrumental in minimizing damage and loss of life, as well as displacement. However, preliminary analysis of the famine and resulting displacements in Somalia in July and August 2011 shows that while a disaster was forecast as early as November 2010 by the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, the famine was not declared until July 2011, and response by donors to funding appeals by the United Nations was insufficient. While insecurity and lack of humanitarian access exacerbate the difficulties in the case of Somalia, this most recent situation, as well as the drought affecting neighbouring countries, have revealed systemic difficulties on the part of both States and the international community in responding proactively to early warnings in order to prevent disasters or limit the adverse impacts on populations, even in the case of slow-onset disasters such as famine. This indicates that technical mechanisms such as early warning systems need to be combined with political will and responsive governance systems that implement preparedness, disaster risk reduction and other adaptation measures in a timely.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur on the right to food for example, has analysed the adverse impact of extreme climate changes on livelihoods and food security. The impact of climate change on agricultural production in developing countries in particular, which has been well documented, will result in volatile markets and threaten the right to food for millions of people. It may be necessary to address and re-evaluate methods of agricultural production, in addition to addressing humanitarian assistance needs. Research and decisions made with regard to agricultural approaches and other measures to ensure food security and resource management will profoundly affect displacement patterns.

Looking forward: addressing new challenges and consolidating gains 2011, para. 65
- Paragraph text
- In addition to the individual and collective responsibility of States to put in place adequate preventive and mitigation strategies, such as measures relating to climate change adaptation and disaster risk management, States also bear responsibility for securing the human rights of persons affected directly or indirectly by related events. Amongst other things, this includes addressing food crisis brought on or aggravated by loss of arable land, droughts, floods, and loss of biodiversity, but it also entails putting in place systems of social protection for persons who have become landless, homeless, deprived of livelihoods - and more often than not also internally displaced. Humankind has more recently had an important role to play in exacerbating the onset of both natural disasters and climate-related developments, and from a human rights perspective we must assume our responsibility to address the serious human rights impact on individuals and communities.

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 22
- Paragraph text
- In 1992, the United Nations Secretary-General noted that indeed there was no clear statement of the human rights of internally displaced persons and that international law in that regard consisted in a patchwork of customary and conventional standards (E/CN.4/1992/23, para. 103). He called for the elaboration of guidelines that would clarify the implications of existing human rights law for persons who were internally displaced, and fashion from existing standards one comprehensive, universally applicable body of principles which addressed the main needs and problems of such persons (ibid., para. 104).

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 28
- Paragraph text
- Following the Secretary-General's report on the system-wide review (E/CN.4/1992/23), a number of significant measures were taken to strengthen the coordination of humanitarian emergency assistance of the United Nations, including the designation of an emergency relief coordinator and the establishment of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee, to be chaired by the Emergency Relief Coordinator (see General Assembly resolution 46/182, annex, paras. 34 and 38). The Inter-Agency Standing Committee includes all United Nations operational agencies, this mandate, intergovernmental organizations, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and IOM, and non-governmental organizations, either by standing invitation or on an ad hoc basis. The Inter-Agency Standing Committee therefore became the primary mechanism for inter-agency coordination and the development of policy for ensuring a coherent and timely response to humanitarian emergencies (see General Assembly resolution 48/57, para. 6).

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 63
- Paragraph text
- The significant body of work in the area of gender and displacement, for example, has resulted in the recognition that displacement affects women and men differently and that, as a result, they may have specific protection and assistance needs. Yet, at the present juncture, it may be opportune to examine the level of impact on the ground of approaches in this area, and to consider alternative strategies for promoting the skills, resources and meaningful participation of internally displaced women, at all levels. For those reasons, the mandate will dedicate its 2013 report to the Human Rights Council to the issue of internally displaced women. Other issues also merit study, such as responses to internally displaced persons living outside of camp settings, and the specific protection and assistance needs of migrants affected by internal displacement in their host countries.

- Climate change has served to crystallize the impact of actions by individual States which go beyond the State to affect the rights of people and communities around the globe. Climate change knows no State or generational boundaries. Effective systems of international cooperation and responsible domestic governance are thus required to address it in line with human rights obligations and to support adaptation strategies to deal with the various human rights challenges, such as displacement, that it presents to the international community as a whole.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 25
- Paragraph text
- In this regard, weaknesses in response systems, such as the gap between humanitarian, and early recovery and development interventions (which promote durable solutions), have been recognized and are increasingly being discussed. The Special Rapporteur is of the view that in addition to addressing such weaknesses, a more effective and systematized management of IDPs outside camps can also improve the overall response to internal displacement, anchor it within a human rights based approach, and contribute to durable solutions. Moreover, he notes that the benefits of improved responses to IDPs outside camps may become increasingly relevant in the context of global trends such as rapid global urbanization, and climate change induced displacement.

Looking forward: addressing new challenges and consolidating gains 2011, para. 62
- Paragraph text
- Practical issues, including housing, land and property rights and livelihood, which are all necessary for sustainable and durable solutions, will become even more dominant issues in this type of displacement. Indeed, with the irreversible effects (in the immediate future) of certain phenomena such as the loss of arable land or biodiversity, finding durable solutions for displaced communities may become a key challenge. Adopting a human rights approach to climate change-induced displacement provides an internationally accepted framework within which to begin a dialogue and identify rights based solutions for these difficult issues. However, further work is necessary in this regard.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 21
- Paragraph text
- The following report is intended as a contribution by the Special Rapporteur towards a larger process which will require consultations and the continued engagement of a broad range of stakeholders. It highlights why IDPs outside camps require specific interventions by national authorities, humanitarian and development actors, and details 3 specific areas of focus, namely, IDPs in urban contexts, host communities, and the role of provincial and municipal authorities. This report is also in follow-up to previous work by the mandate on the issue, including: reports to the Human Rights Council which identify this as a key challenge in the field of internal displacement and a priority area for the mandate; steps bringing it to the attention of the wider humanitarian community via the IASC; and specific attention to the issue in the context of country visits by the mandate. Several other areas of special relevance to IDPs outside camps are also mentioned in this report, such as data collection, and suggested for attention by relevant actors.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 41
- Paragraph text
- Given that national censuses often omit informal settlements or internally displaced persons for lack of documentation, there may be little knowledge of the size or profile of the urban internally displaced population. National censuses, as conducted in Cote d'Ivoire in 2014, must be designed to identify internally displaced persons and their location. Experience shows, however, that, when confronted by outsiders asking questions, internally displaced persons feel threatened, especially if they fear eviction or if they are asked questions relating to the informal sector.

Internally displaced women: progress, challenges and the way ahead 2013, para. 34
- Paragraph text
- Despite myriad training, guidelines and manuals, displaced women and girls continue to be subject to egregious levels of sexual violence. In some situations, sexual violence or other forms of gender-based violence is used as a deliberate tactic to instil terror, and force displacement, or to discourage IDPs from demanding their rights. Beyond being a significant cause of displacement and a grievous human rights violation in its own right, SGBV or the perceived risk of it can also curtail women's access to a range of rights and services.

- Furthermore, in the absence of rule of law that characterizes many conflict and post-conflict contexts and where women's access to formal justice mechanisms may be compromised by lack of documentation, illiteracy and absence of or restricted access to judicial structures, it is important for the humanitarian community to engage with alternative dispute resolution processes (including customary, religious and local governance structures) to promote women's access to land and housing and resolve disputes over central issues such as inheritance. International development actors also have a critical role to play in working alongside national actors to respond to these concerns and support more concerted efforts to evaluate interventions and identify best practices in this field.

Internally displaced women: progress, challenges and the way ahead 2013, para. 50

- Overall, the Special Rapporteur notes that discussions of gender issues within host and return communities and how particular durable solutions can backstop protection for IDW remain relatively nascent. Addressing them requires more concerted attention, as well as cooperation between humanitarian and development actors. The piloting of the Secretary-General's 2011 Framework for Ending Displacement in the Aftermath of Conflict represents an important opportunity to strengthen attention to the particular rights, needs and concerns of IDW in the pursuit of durable solutions.

- Despite these advances, the Special Rapporteur finds that a host of challenges remain, from implementing equitable documentation practices to systematically training Government officials, security actors and field staff in gender approaches, raising awareness of communities, especially host communities, about IDPs to avoid double stigmatization of displaced women (as IDPs and as women) and engaging women in early warning systems and disaster preparedness strategies. He finds that overcoming the "implementation gap" that curtails the practical impact of the frameworks developed to protect, assist and support the leadership role of IDW possibly represents the greatest obstacle. Beyond this, he below some of the key challenges faced by IDW, and which are notable for their strategic significance, or because they reflect important longstanding, neglected or emerging problems.

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. 26
- Paragraph text
- There has been a long-standing commitment on the part of the mandate holders to supporting durable solutions through missions and working visits, the development of frameworks and engagement with key stakeholders, including the World Bank and the Peacebuilding Commission. For example, in the course of missions and working visits to a range of countries, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Central African Republic, Côte d'Ivoire, Georgia, Iraq, Nepal, Serbia, Somalia and the Sudan, the mandate holders have analysed the close relationship between durable solutions, development and peacebuilding processes. They have made recommendations to address outstanding concerns with regard to those dimensions (see, for example, A/HRC/23/44/Add.1 and A/HRC/4/38/Add.2), while stressing the need to integrate issues pertaining to internally displaced persons and durable solutions into national development plans, peacebuilding strategies and peace agreements (see, for example, A/HRC/16/43/Add.1 and A/HRC/16/43/Add.2 and Corr.1). Legal standards are also being set in this regard. For example, States parties to the Kampala Convention now have a duty to endeavour to incorporate the relevant principles contained in the Convention into peace negotiations and agreements for the purpose of finding solutions to the problem of internal displacement, as stated in article 3 (2) (e). The Pact on Security, Stability and Development in the Great Lakes Region, signed in 2006, provides an appropriate legal framework and addresses displacement and durable solutions under the Protocol on the Protection of and Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons and the Protocol on the Property Rights of Returning Persons, both adopted in 2006, in the overall context of humanitarian assistance, development, security and peacebuilding. The Special Rapporteur continues to cooperate with the African Union and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region with regard to the implementation of the Kampala Convention and the Pact.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 29
- Paragraph text
- Flight to urban areas following conflict or disaster in another part of the country is also a common feature of internal displacement today. Urban areas may promise more safety than rural areas as a result of the anonymity and invisibility that one can acquire there. For example, there are girls in Abidjan who were victims of sexual violence in places of displacement in rural areas or who became pregnant during displacement and moved to the city. A primary reason for flight to urban areas is family links, but the hope of finding alternative livelihoods is also a factor that influences the flight of internally displaced persons, who often lose their original livelihoods through displacement. Similarly, education opportunities and better services, such as special health care, regularly lead to flight to urban areas and peripheries. Urban areas may therefore allow internally displaced persons to better maintain their coping mechanisms and resilience, albeit at low levels.

- [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:] [States affected by displacement] Develop national frameworks, structures and policies on internal displacement, as already recommended (see A/68/225, para. 59 (a));

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 46
- Paragraph text
- In some contexts, government and municipal authorities, sometimes with the support of international stakeholders, have developed urban planning initiatives that do seek to take the specificities and needs of internally displaced persons into consideration. In Afghanistan, for example, a newly adopted national policy on internal displacement provides for measures to ensure that internally displaced persons in informal settlements are permitted to upgrade their accommodation to meet the internationally agreed Sphere standards for emergency shelter, explore community-level initiatives to lend, rent or sell land in areas in which they have settled and identify other options that would grant them security of tenure, such as usufruct schemes.

- Paragraph text
- With regard to cash-grant mechanisms, which include grants for the reconstruction and repair of houses and rental subsidy schemes, they attempt to strengthen tenure security for internally displaced renters, while ensuring that those internally displaced persons move into properties that meet minimum safety standards. For example, in Haiti, two years after the earthquake, the Government addressed some displacement-related housing, land and property issues in the context of its "16/6" project. The project, first launched in August 2011, envisaged the reconstruction of 16 earthquake-affected neighbourhoods and the closure of six major related camps by providing grants to the internally displaced persons living in those camps to rent housing, to construct a new house or to repair their own houses that were damaged by the earthquake. With regard to the rental subsidy mechanism, it also attempted to raise awareness of renters' rights and required the signing of a formal lease.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 55
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur encourages initiatives that reinforce local capacity for the achievement of durable solutions. In this regard, the community resource centre run by the International Organization for Migration in Haiti is an example of how camp coordination and camp management tools relating to durable solutions can be used in urban environments and outside camps. The centre's objective is to use a community platform to provide municipalities with a district-level structure to support the planning, coordination and provision of information on reconstruction, return and local development. The main aim is to support local structures and provide both a hub for coordination and a physical space to be handed over at a later stage. This is therefore an example of how developing the capacity of local structures can contribute to making the transition from the humanitarian phase and early recovery and promoting durable solutions to coordination and participation.

Governance structures for internal displacement 2015, para. 18
- Paragraph text
- For the third consecutive year, a record number of persons were displaced within their own country. As of December 2014, 38 million persons were internally displaced worldwide by armed conflict, human rights violations and generalized violence; an additional 19.3 million were internally displaced by disasters. Protracted displacement situations have become the new normal; according to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, the experience of conflict-induced displacement lasts an average of 17 years. These shocking statistics signal both our collective failure to protect civilians from forced displacement and our inability to respond in the longer term to the plight of internally displaced persons and their right to be provided with durable solutions.

Governance structures for internal displacement 2015, para. 24
- Paragraph text
- Good governance requires the gathering and coordination of expertise, both national and, where necessary, international, to respond rapidly to a displacement situation. The gathering, monitoring and sharing of information is critical for all actors to respond appropriately and to understand the dynamics and dimensions of displacement at the earliest stage. This includes information on who is displaced, how many people are involved, where they went and why and what their immediate needs are. Good governance requires technical awareness and for that awareness to be widely disseminated to responders. Not least, governance of displacement requires an understanding of the human rights of internally displaced persons, including the right to be consulted about decisions affecting them and to participate in solutions intended for them.

- When responding to the needs of internally displaced persons, a number of key ministries are directly concerned as they have sectoral responsibilities. These ministries should be involved in the response from the very onset of the emergency and should be represented in any inter-agency mechanism where their role should be discussed in relation to their sectoral counterparts. During his country visits, the Special Rapporteur has met with line ministries that have direct links to the humanitarian response and are key interlocutors when it comes to the provision of assistance, such as ministries of health, education, labour, social affairs, women's affairs, internal affairs and defence.

- Finally, the implementation and monitoring phase is an essential and often ongoing one. As implementation will be achieved gradually, it can be helpful to prioritize implementation activities, ensuring that emergency needs are addressed while longer-term needs and concerns are not overlooked. Implementation may also require capacity-building at various levels of government. Dissemination and awareness-raising among government officials at all levels, as well as among internally displaced persons and other displacement-affected communities, in relevant languages and through appropriate channels in order to ensure the most vulnerable populations are reached, are also critical steps to ensure effective implementation. It is also important that obstacles and gaps in implementation are promptly identified and addressed. Monitoring and evaluation should be carried out regularly by an entity with monitoring expertise and experience, and the national institutional focal point should convene to take stock of the implementation process.

- Paragraph text
- As internally displaced persons' lands and properties may have been occupied by others, disputes may arise and national authorities must establish effective mechanisms to resolve them, making sure that the procedures are simplified so that they do not put an additional burden on internally displaced persons. Full consultation with and participation of internally displaced persons and displacement-affected communities in issues related to land reform are essential and key to assessing the extent to which a durable solution has been achieved. Therefore, these mechanisms must be accessible and internally displaced persons must be provided, where needed, with free legal assistance to pursue their claims. As pointed out in the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework: "In some cases it may be appropriate to establish special restitution and compensation mechanisms (e.g. a Land Claims Commission) while in others, existing institutions, including traditional property dispute mechanisms, may have the capacity to handle the caseload effectively and impartially."

- As stated in the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, national authorities bear the primary duty and responsibility to provide protection and humanitarian assistance to internally displaced persons within their jurisdiction (principle 3). This underscores that authorities at all levels - national and local - must show leadership in dealing with internal displacement issues, notably by being proactive and having adequate governance structures in place to better prevent, mitigate and respond to internal displacement crises. However, in many instances, there is a lack of clarity as to which institutions are mandated to deal with internal displacement, what their roles and responsibilities are, as well as the actions necessary to address the issue appropriately.

- During displacement, family members may be separated or some may go missing. In both post-conflict and post-disaster situations, national authorities have the responsibility to reunite families and to create specific mechanisms to look into the whereabouts of missing relatives. The Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework states: "Appropriate tracing is to be undertaken at the earliest possible time to establish the fate and whereabouts of missing relatives and to inform the next of kin of progress made in the investigation and the results obtained." During his visit to Sri Lanka in December 2013, the Special Rapporteur learned that the Government had appointed a commission to investigate the fate of nearly 18,000 people who went missing during the armed conflict. He recommended that it should comply fully with international standards, work in full consultation with the families of the missing persons, extend its coverage to include missing persons/disappearances since May 2009 and make its finding and recommendations public (A/HRC/26/33/Add.4).

- States affected by displacement should establish effective legal framework to provide fair compensation or other forms of reparation, where appropriate, to internally displaced persons for damage incurred as a result of displacement, in accordance with international standards. In certain cases, truth and reconciliation commissions have been involved in displacement issues and linkages between such mechanisms and durable solutions can be made. The mechanisms can contribute to ensuring durable solutions, notably by acknowledging and embracing internally displaced persons' narratives and experiences, fostering better relations between displaced populations and displacement-affected communities and making specific recommendations relevant to the pursuit of durable solutions with respect to housing, land, property restitution and similar issues.

According to reports, the food being distributed in Yaloke does not meet the cultural and nutritional needs of the Peulh minority group. The Peulh, living largely on a diet of beef and milk from cattle, are not used to the rice and beans that humanitarian agencies distribute. As of December 2014, over 40 Peulh had died from malnutrition and other diseases, the majority of them children.

- Education also provides routine, normality, a protective function, support and information and can be an important step towards community integration in displacement locations. For IDPs, education may be a low priority in the face of survival needs. Children may contribute economically to displaced communities, which can be another barrier to their schooling. Internally displaced parents may exclude children from school in the belief that they will quickly return to their original homes, only for their displacement to become protracted. Parents may also hesitate to send their children to school in conflict zones which may be targeted for forced recruitment of children.

To achieve that target "for all at all ages", requires resolving the health-care and well-being challenges experienced by IDPs.

- As women and mothers, poor and frequently from minorities, internally displaced women face multiple and intersectional challenges. Women are frequently separated from men in conflict-related displacement situations, sometimes permanently due to the death of men, or to men joining the armed conflict or being forced to flee the conflict without their families. Women also frequently have the primary responsibility of caring for children and the elderly and are less able to seek employment or income-generating activities. Despite these obstacles, internally displaced women frequently take on family and community leadership roles.

- The Special Rapporteur noted in his report on climate change and internal displacement, "early warning mechanisms can be instrumental in minimizing damage and loss of life, as well as displacement" (A/66/285, para. 49). However, taking the example of the famine in Somalia in 2011 that resulted in waves of displacement and for which an early warning was issued some months before, he noted systemic difficulties for some States and the international community in responding proactively to early warnings to prevent a disaster, even a slow-onset disaster, and minimize its adverse impacts on populations. He reiterates that technical mechanisms such as early warning systems must be combined with strong political will and responsive governance systems that implement preparedness, disaster risk reduction and other adaptation measures in a timely manner.

- While the initial and early crisis stages of the response to displacement require certain actions and governance responses, as displacement becomes more protracted, the response from national authorities must transition to address and respond to ongoing and future needs, in full conformity with the human rights of internally displaced persons. A full assessment must therefore be made of the evolving internal displacement scenario that includes the likelihood and possibility of return to original locations, taking fully into account the wishes and intentions of internally displaced persons and the need to ensure durable solutions. This is essential to put the necessary policy, programme and institutional structures and responses in place.

- Paragraph text
- As the Special Rapporteur pointed out in the joint note to the Secretary-General in October 2014 with Valerie Amos, António Guterres and William Lacy Swing: The displaced are often excluded from longer-term development and institutional planning. If left unaddressed, protracted displacement generates further marginalization, inequality, fragility, vulnerability and erodes people's resilience. This poses a serious impediment to all present pillars of sustainable development both for the displaced persons and host communities. Development actors need to increase their engagement from the onset of a crisis to ensure that the development dimensions of displacement are addressed. The post-2015 development agenda therefore needs to address protracted displacement by ensuring effective support for durable solutions.

- Humanitarian programmes have achieved essential results. In the Darfur region of the Sudan displacement has affected an estimated 2.7 million Darfurians since 2013. A 647 million euro project from April 2012 provided IDPs in targeted camps with 15 litres of safe water per day; established water collection points within safe walking distance; ensured access to adequate sanitation facilities and latrines; and ensured that targeted communities had knowledge of waterborne diseases and their prevention. Some 182,890 people were beneficiaries of the 12-month programme. While such results are impressive, the challenge remains to ensure sustainability and to transition from humanitarian responses to durable, development-led solutions as early as possible.

In accordance with the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the IASC Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons, he recalled that IDPs should be able to exercise their right to participate in public affairs at all levels and without discrimination on the basis of their displacement.

- While national governments have the primary responsibility towards IDPs, their responses are often ad hoc, uncoordinated and, therefore, ineffective. National laws, policies or strategies on internal displacement can assist national authorities in addressing the challenges of displacement in a planned manner, and improve short-term and long-term responses. Such national instruments may serve to clarify who is an IDP and what such a person's corollary rights are, establish budgets directed towards them and create administrative and response structures and responsibilities, as well as creating confidence amongst regional and international development partners.

- Seeking and obtaining employment or livelihood activities are commonly more difficult for displaced persons in unfamiliar localities who may face additional barriers, including discrimination, loss of documents, and the psychosocial impact and pressures of displacement. Where they find refuge in areas of existing unemployment or economic hardship they are likely to be the last to gain work if it does become available. Women and mothers are likely to face unique challenges and restrictions to their income-generating activities, including childcare issues and the threat of violence if they leave the camps.

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 72
- Paragraph text
- While IDPs living in camp settings are more visible, alternative coping mechanisms, including living with host families, are now the norm for a majority of IDPs. An implicit assumption is often made that IDPs living outside camps are less in need of protection and assistance and have found solutions of their own. While host communities may initially welcome and assist IDPs, when their stay is protracted, the strain on resources may lead to an eventual breaking point, and may require IDPs to look for alternative assistance or living arrangements, often resulting in secondary displacement. For economic, security and anonymity reasons, IDPs often move to the outskirts of cities, where they mix with the urban poor. While such areas may provide better livelihood opportunities, they are often most violent or hazardous areas and IDPs are at greater risk of being displaced a second time or of facing additional human rights abuses.

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 31
- Paragraph text
- In recent years, some development actors have increasingly paid attention to IDPs. In 2012, the World Bank developed Guidelines for Assessing the Impacts and Costs of Forced Displacement in order to meet the need for enhanced understanding and evaluation of the economic and social aspects of forced migration. In a more recent report of the Global Program on Forced Displacement of the World Bank, Political Economy and Forced Displacement: Guidance and Lessons from Nine Country Case Studies, a political economy analysis was used as a tool to demonstrate the development impacts of displacement and to advance arguments for development initiatives to assist IDPs and host communities.

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 30
- Paragraph text
- In his report to the General Assembly (A/68/225), in which he addressed the role of humanitarian and development actors in achieving durable solutions for IDPs through peacebuilding in the aftermath of conflict, the Special Rapporteur identified initiatives aimed at bridging the gap between relief and development. For instance, the Solutions Alliance was launched in April 2014 when humanitarian actors, development organizations, States, donors and civil society gathered in Copenhagen to discuss solutions to protracted displacement and its management. On that occasion, it was emphasized that the displacement of refugees and IDPs presents significant development opportunities and challenges, in addition to the humanitarian needs and the humanitarian 'imperative'".

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 38
- Paragraph text
- In December 2014, the synthesis report of the Secretary-General on the post-2015 sustainable development agenda highlighted "gap issues", and included explicit references to internal displacement. It calls for a transformative shift away from business as usual and proposes six "essential elements": (a) dignity: to end poverty and fight inequalities; (b) people: to ensure healthy lives, knowledge and the inclusion of women and children; (c) prosperity: to grow a strong, inclusive, and transformative economy; (d) planet: to protect our ecosystems for all societies and our children; (e) justice: to promote safe and peaceful societies and strong institutions; (f) partnership: to catalyse global solidarity for sustainable development.

Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 47
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur has consistently emphasized that transcending the humanitarian-development divide is essential for achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons. A commitment to reduce internal displacement means a commitment to achieve durable solutions, which goes beyond the capacity of humanitarian actors alone and requires the integration of development actors at the outset of internal displacement. This will require increasing the understanding of what durable solutions are in practice and the complex process that is required to achieve them, as laid out in the Framework for Durable Solutions.

- Paragraph text
- At the Summit, States, United Nations agencies, international and local organizations and the private sector committed to strengthen laws and policies to protect internally displaced persons and to support solutions to displacement. The World Bank and development actors also committed to engage earlier to support the self-reliance of internally displaced persons and host communities. Indeed, better integration of humanitarian and development efforts at the onset of displacement is essential to building resilience and self-reliance, both of which are key elements that can lead to durable solutions within a rights-based approach.

Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 38
- Paragraph text
- In Africa, the evolution of a regional framework for internally displaced persons has helped to clarify the roles and responsibilities of States. The Kampala Convention requires States to incorporate its provisions into domestic law and to designate an authority responsible for coordinating activities aimed at protecting and assisting internally displaced persons and assign responsibilities to appropriate organs, including cooperation with international organizations or agencies. Ratifying States must adopt measures, strategies and policies on internal displacement at the national and local levels, taking into account the needs of host communities. They must provide funds for protection and assistance and incorporate principles of the Convention into peace negotiations and agreements aimed at finding sustainable solutions to internal displacement.

- Paragraph text
- This target must be considered as a concrete commitment to action on a level with commitments and targets established under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. States affected by or facing the threat of internal displacement should consider strategic national action plans to resolve displacement, with clear time frames and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms in place, and with focused attention to achieve durable solutions. This should be done nationally and for each displacement scenario in view of the specificities of each situation and in full consultation with internally displaced persons.

Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 64
- Paragraph text
- To prevent and improve responses to internal displacement, it is imperative to have comprehensive and reliable information upon which to base both humanitarian and development interventions. This includes baseline data from which to make informed decisions, measure progress, create data tracking and monitoring mechanisms, and comprehensive trends analysis. Reliable data and evidence are a precondition for good policy and programming and are vital for strengthening coordination and collaboration between different actors. Many States lack accurate information about the number, profile and needs of internally displaced persons. Globally, the available figures on displacement do not reveal the full picture. As IDMC points out, current global estimates indicate only the scale of displacement caused by conflict and yearly estimates of disaster-induced displacement. Serious gaps exist in data on those displaced by disasters. Slow-onset disasters, development projects and generalized violence constitute significant data blind spots.

Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 54
- Paragraph text
- The Summit reinforced the crucial role of financing as the key enabling and catalytic factor towards meeting and reducing needs relating to internally displaced persons. Significantly enhanced resources are required to meet the challenge of reducing internal displacement. The Special Rapporteur has consistently encountered challenges to assistance and protection for internally displaced persons and to making progress towards durable solutions directly linked to funding shortfalls and too-short funding cycles that restrict the potential for longer-term planning and programmes. Without significant changes to the funding system the resolution of displacement will be severely hampered in practice.

Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 60
- Paragraph text
- Good governance is an essential element of national efforts to prevent and reduce internal displacement. The Guiding Principles underline the obligations of States to take preventive measures to avoid displacement. However, States often lack adequate governance structures to prevent, prepare for and mitigate against the consequences of internal displacement before the onset of a displacement crisis. All States, particularly those at risk of, or experiencing, internal displacement should establish effective and accountable governance structures to respond to all phases of internal displacement. The need to improve disaster risk governance, for example, has been recognized, including in the context of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, as disasters can affect any State.

- Paragraph text
- New approaches need to engage displaced persons as partners and not simply beneficiaries. These approaches should achieve better consultation with and the participation of displaced communities as part of a broader process of assessment and informed response, including in the application of durable solutions. This helps to ensure the human agency of internally displaced persons as those with the greatest understanding of the community's needs and vulnerabilities, but also its wishes, expectations, skills and resilience capacity. Assessments of needs should go hand in hand with assessment of potential, including the capacity to lead or benefit from resilience, recovery and livelihood initiatives.

Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 90
- Paragraph text
- The overall picture of internal displacement globally in 2016 is alarming, with unprecedented numbers of internally displaced persons, ongoing and protracted situations in which progress towards durable solutions has stalled and massive new displacement crises that threaten to further deteriorate. The picture is in fact more dramatic than that presented by existing statistics, since these do not include causes of displacement, such as development projects and business activities and generalized and criminal violence. The situation constitutes a global crisis requiring bold, innovative and concerted action at all levels, from the local to the international levels, as well as new and enhanced partnerships and collaborations.

- Paragraph text
- In the Syrian Arab Republic and Iraq, visited by the Special Rapporteur in May 2015, the targeting of Christians, Yazidi and other smaller ethnic and religious communities by the so-called ISIL has been evident and well documented. They have experienced targeted violence and displacement on the basis of their belonging to certain ethnic or religious groups. In some cases, internal displacement may have been arbitrary, amounting to ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity or atrocity crimes, and has included the cultural destruction of monuments and places of worship with the objective of permanently removing communities from those regions. Equally, in numerous other regions, discrimination against certain groups in society may reach such levels that it results in hate-based crimes and internal displacement that does not take place in a context of armed conflict.

- Paragraph text
- This means increasing international focus and cooperation on risk reduction and resilience based on the 2015 Sendai Framework and the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. The Summit addressed displacement in the context of disasters and climate change and participants called for the development of an international mechanism and legal framework for the protection of those displaced by the adverse impacts of climate change. The 2010 Cancun Agreements recognized climate-induced displacement, and the Special Rapporteur examined this in his report to the General Assembly in 2011 (A/66/285). Disaster-related internal displacement is closely linked with disaster-related cross-border displacement. He welcomes the Agenda for the Protection of Cross-Border Displaced Persons in the Context of Disasters and Climate Change endorsed by 110 countries in 2015 under the Nansen Initiative.

- Of increasing use in the field is the International Organization for Migration displacement tracking matrix, a tool for tracking and monitoring displacement and identifying locations where internally displaced persons settle. In addition, the REACH initiative was created in 2010 by the non-governmental organizations IMPACT and ACTED and the Operational Satellite Applications Programme of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research to facilitate the development of information tools and products that enhance the humanitarian community's decision-making and planning capacity. REACH promotes better understanding of crisis-affected communities within settlements by collecting data in a systematic and comprehensive way, helping to provide the information required for designing, planning and evaluating aid- and evidence-based humanitarian action.

- The 2007 Basic principles and guidelines on development-based evictions and displacement provide valuable guidance in addressing the human rights implications of development-linked evictions and related displacement. They provide practical guidance to States on measures and procedures to be taken in order to ensure that development-based evictions are not undertaken in contravention of existing international human rights standards and do not thus constitute "forced evictions". The guidelines also focus on effective remedies for those whose human rights have been violated, should prevention measures fail. Independent human rights and environmental impact assessments of development and business activities likely to cause displacement should be conducted at the earliest opportunity, with their findings informing a legal project approval process and resettlement and rehabilitation programmes.

- 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.

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 47
- Paragraph text
- In line with her strategic priorities, the Special Rapporteur will dedicate her next thematic reports to the following thematic issues: (a) strengthening the participation of internally displaced persons in responses to internal displacement; (b) ensuring the inclusion of internally displaced persons in transitional justice mechanisms and peace processes as part of durable solutions; (c) improving the protection of internally displaced children; (d) enhancing the role of national human rights institutions and other relevant human rights actors in the protection of internally displaced persons; and (e) addressing neglected drivers of displacement, including development projects and generalized violence. In conducting her thematic work she will consult widely, in order to identify particular issues where her mandate can make the most effective contributions while avoiding duplication of the work of other institutions.

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 49
- 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
- While relevant guidelines, including the 2007 basic principles and guidelines on development-based evictions and displacement, provide guidance in addressing the human rights implications of development-linked displacement, further understanding of these issues is required in order to ensure that those at risk of internal displacement and those who are displaced by development are protected in conformity with all relevant international laws and standards. The Special Rapporteur will devote a thematic report to this issue and will elaborate a set of recommendations, as well as promoting the implementation of positive practices and processes that should be applied to development projects.

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 45
- 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.

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.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 53
- Paragraph text
- Provincial and municipal authorities responsible for local development, social services and security in their areas have a particular responsibility and interest in ensuring that IDPs outside camps, receive assistance in achieving durable solutions. In some cases, durable solutions will imply local integration in the host community, a process in which local authorities play a key role, and with regard to which the collection of good practices would be valuable. They can also however, contribute towards other durable solutions, including returns and resettlement elsewhere in the country, including by: ensuring that IDPs in their communities are identified and included in national durable solutions programmes; improving access to information for IDPs; and facilitating the transference of documents or benefits they may have acquired during their displacement. They can also facilitate transitional or a combination of solutions, such as permitting IDPs to retain certain rights, e.g. residency permits in host communities while they set up their new life in their area of return and ascertain its safety, or by facilitating procedures so that some members of the family may remain working in the host community while the rest of the family returns to the place of origin. Where IDPs originally from the host community are returning to it, local authorities will also play a central role in reinstating their rights, and addressing issues such as secondary occupancy which may emerged as a result of their prolonged absence.

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. 53
- Paragraph text
- Alongside the negotiation of the post-2015 development agenda, the 2012-2015 piloting of the New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States affords an important opportunity to integrate durable solutions into the pursuit of development goals in fragile States, in particular because several pilot countries have major situations regarding internally displaced persons, including Afghanistan (where the Secretary-General's Framework is being simultaneously piloted), the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan. The New Deal recognizes that constructive State-society relations and the empowerment of women, young people and marginalized groups as key actors for peace are at the heart of successful peacebuilding and state-building. Internally displaced persons should be acknowledged as an essential stakeholder group in the implementation of the New Deal, in particular because the peacebuilding and state-building goals at the core of the New Deal are directly relevant to durable solutions. They include legitimate politics (fostering inclusive political settlements and conflict resolution), security (establishing and strengthening people's security), justice (addressing injustices and increasing people's access to justice), economic foundations (generating employment and improving livelihoods) and revenues and services (managing revenue and building capacity for accountable and fair service delivery).

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 20
- Paragraph text
- While common images of IDPs often portray them as living compactly in large camps, spontaneous informal settlements or collective IDP centres, the reality is that most IDPs live outside these clearly defined settings, or "outside camps". The expression IDPs outside camps in this report refers to IDPs who may live instead in a variety of settings or situations; they may be in urban, rural, or remote areas, renting, owning a housing, sharing a room, living with a host family, homeless, occupying a building or land that they do not own, or living in makeshift shelters and slums. A number of factors often result in the neglect and virtual "invisibility" of IDPs outside camps, thereby affecting their access to protection, assistance and durable solutions to their displacement. While the importance of the issue has gained increased recognition over the last several years, more concerted attention is necessary, including by the international community, in order to achieve a more equitable humanitarian response and lasting solutions for IDPs outside camps, as well as better support structures to communities which may be hosting them. Such an approach also ensures compliance with international law relating to IDPs, including international humanitarian and human rights law, regional instruments such as the Kampala Convention, and with international standards such as the Guiding Principles, which provide guarantees of non-discrimination and make no distinction between IDPs in or outside camps or other settings.

This continuous vulnerability often stems from their pre-existing situation, as well as the more general social and economic status of women in the country and the community.

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 47
- Paragraph text
- In the area of durable solutions, the mandate undertook a process of consultations and revisions throughout a number of years, aimed at developing practical guidance on durable solutions to internal displacement. That process culminated in the Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons (the Framework), which was presented to the Human Rights Council in 2010 (A/HRC/13/2, Add.4) and endorsed by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee. The Framework provides guidance to national and local authorities, as well as humanitarian and development actors for achieving durable solutions, and includes rights-based principles to guide action, and indicators to monitor progress, towards durable solutions. The Framework stipulates that a durable solution is achieved when internally displaced persons no longer have specific assistance and protection needs that are linked to their displacement and such persons can enjoy their human rights without discrimination resulting from their displacement (ibid., para. 8). The Special Rapporteur is also pleased to note the Framework on Ending Displacement in the Aftermath of Conflict, issued by the Secretary-General, which puts forward a United Nations strategy to enhance support for durable solutions for internally displaced persons and refugees returning to their countries of origin in post-conflict contexts. The Special Rapporteur fully endorses that initiative and is committed to providing his support to that process.

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. 31
- Paragraph text
- In the 1980s, international efforts to bridge the gap between relief and development assistance included the UNHCR refugee aid and development approach, applied through the International Conference on Assistance to Refugees in Africa, in 1981, and the Second International Conference on Assistance to Refugees in Africa, in 1984. It was followed by the International Conference on Central American Refugees process, launched in 1989 with the aim of supporting durable solutions for Central American refugees and internally displaced persons. According to UNDP, UNHCR and the World Bank, the conferences "demonstrated and to large extent created awareness and recognition that displacement has development challenges which can only be addressed by linking relief and development".6 The Development Programme for Displaced Persons, Refugees and Returnees in Central America complemented the Central American process and was seen as a "successful programme with UNDP playing a prominent role in engaging development actors".6 Although the longer-term success of the International Conference on Central American Refugees and the Development Programme for Displaced Persons, Refugees and Returnees in Central America processes has been questioned, the latter model was subsequently adjusted and replicated in numerous countries.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 50
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur emphasizes that, to offer durable solutions for internally displaced persons and the communities in which they live, cash interventions should be accompanied by income-generating or other livelihood activities, which also benefit the community, such as the development of small businesses and legal support in housing, land and property matters to facilitate length and security of tenure. In addition, those interventions should be accompanied by measures ensuring access to basic services for the benefit of the entire community. For example, in Bogota, the mayor's development plan for the city, which seeks to a create "a more humane Bogota", puts at its core the promotion of the human rights of victims of the armed conflict who fled to Bogota and the implementation of the Victims and Land Restitution Act adopted in 2011. Article 12 pertains to the implementation of the Act, article 21 relates to the housing programme for internally displaced persons and article 42 deals with how internally displaced persons will receive health services. Elected mayors of the various localities within Bogota have also initiated projects for the economic development of internally displaced persons living in those localities. In January 2014, the mayor of the Bosa locality developed a project to promote and assist entrepreneurial projects for vulnerable populations, specifically for internally displaced persons and persons with disabilities.

Internally displaced persons and other people affected by conflict or natural disaster remain entitled to fully enjoy their human rights, including their right to life, food, water and sanitation, clothing, housing, health care and education, rights which, taken together, may be interpreted as the right to receive humanitarian assistance. Moreover, these rights must be discharged by national authorities in good faith, either directly or by facilitating the provision of humanitarian assistance by third parties.

- The Committee on Economic and Social Rights has taken the view "that a minimum core obligation to ensure the satisfaction of, at the very least, minimum essential levels of each of the rights is incumbent upon every State party. Thus, for example, a State party in which any significant number of individuals is deprived of essential foodstuffs, of essential primary health care, of basic shelter and housing, or of the most basic forms of education is, prima facie, failing to discharge its obligations under the [International] Covenant [on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights]". In other words, the core minimum requirements extend to the very goods and services that are the subject of humanitarian assistance.

- [The Representative calls on all Member States to shape a rule-based framework to international humanitarian assistance, taking into account the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement as well as the Guidelines for the Domestic Facilitation and Regulation of International Disaster Relief and Initial Recovery Assistance and, in particular to:] Set up dedicated national humanitarian coordination structures, preferably in a central position of government. Coordination structures should be subject to auditing and non-executive civilian oversight and, at least in conflict situations, should be institutionally separate from the military and security apparatus. Clear powers and responsibilities to provide humanitarian assistance, as well as the necessary resources, should be provided to relevant authorities at the national and local levels;

The primary duty of the State to provide humanitarian assistance and the corresponding rights of internally displaced persons 2010, para. 95
- Paragraph text
- Increasing constraints on humanitarian access have the effect of excluding internally displaced persons and others affected by conflict and disasters from their entitlements to assistance. Administrative and technical barriers regularly impede the provision of humanitarian action. Humanitarian actors find it increasingly difficult to defend the impartiality, neutrality and independence that form the basis of their work, as individual States and State coalitions seek to align humanitarian action with their own political and military agendas, a trend considered responsible, in part, for the increasing violence against humanitarian workers. This increase in politically motivated attacks on humanitarian personnel and other patterns of insecurity that interrupt humanitarian operations have a profound impact on both the extent and methods for providing humanitarian assistance, with recipient rights-holders as the ultimate victims.

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 87d
- Paragraph text
- [Durable solutions constitute the ultimate form of protection for internally displaced persons. At the same time, the Representative sees some of the greatest problems in this area. Short-sighted political calculations often create protracted displacement situations, which are particularly difficult to transform into durable solutions. Despite some advances, donors and development actors are still not providing enough support for durable solutions, especially crucial investments in early recovery. The Representative recommends that member States:] Develop more appropriate funding mechanisms to bridge the gap between emergency funding and development funding, which results in the systematic underfunding of recovery activities. Funding mechanisms must be flexible enough to respond not only to the needs of internally displaced persons themselves, but also to the needs of all displacement-affected communities.

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 78
- Paragraph text
- Protracted displacement can also be the product of political indifference on the part of national authorities, development actors and donors. Internally displaced persons, who may have received generous humanitarian assistance at the height of a crisis, are often forgotten as soon as the guns fall silent or the flood waters recede. Without assistance in re-establishing their lives (and their livelihoods in particular) the displaced enter a vicious cycle of dependency on aid and protracted displacement. The continued failure of the donor community to adequately fund early recovery strategies and activities is particularly worrisome in this regard.

Disasters displace even more people and the effects of climate change will exacerbate this trend. Development-induced displacement is also on the rise.

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 has observed in several countries the difficult relationship between United Nations political or peacekeeping missions and humanitarian actors, particularly where they were part of integrated missions. He welcomes efforts to strengthen the capabilities of United Nations peacekeeping operations to protect civilians, including internally displaced persons, and the fact that such missions often have a positive impact on humanitarian action on the ground, including by improving the security situation or facilitating humanitarian access. However, their impact can also be negative and even impair humanitarian activities, in particular where the mission is mandated to support militarily or politically one party to the conflict.

- Paragraph text
- In at least 35 countries internally displaced persons find themselves in protracted situations, meaning that processes to find durable solutions for them have stalled and the displaced are marginalized, and their rights, in particular economic, social and cultural rights, are not protected. Internally displaced persons in protracted situations often live in inhumane conditions and have no realistic chance of accessing opportunities to earn a living. The Representative has consistently found that the most likely victims of protracted displacement are the most vulnerable within the displaced population and include the elderly, people with disabilities, female-headed households and minorities.

- According to experts, the very "concentration of resources, assets and services in cities can lead to more debilitating impacts of disasters, conflict and violence". This has drawn the attention of the humanitarian community and urban specialists to the particular impact on urban settings of climate change, with a focus on the increasing urban vulnerability gap, housing challenges and the need to move away from only focusing on humanitarian response and develop disaster prevention strategies specific to urban settings.

- In many instances, internally displaced persons may live in compact settlements or camps, which present a number of further concerns, including concerns for personal safety, and in particular sexual and gender-based violence; the pull factor related to the provision of assistance in the camps; and the fact that camps may sustain a humanitarian assistance situation for too long at the expense of early recovery and durable solutions. As levels of displacement rise in the context of climate change, the urgency of finding long-lasting solutions for affected populations and avoiding the precariousness, marginalization and instability associated with situations of protracted displacement, will become a national, and potentially regional, security imperative.

- Disaster risk reduction is defined as "the conceptual framework of elements considered with the possibility to minimize vulnerabilities and disaster risks throughout society, to avoid (prevention) or to limit (mitigation and preparedness) the adverse impacts of hazards, within the broad context of sustainable development". Stated differently, disaster risk reduction seeks to address the underlying risk factors in order to reduce avoidable loss of life, as well as loss of property and livelihoods - many of which affect internally displaced persons directly. With this aim in mind, the World Conference on Disaster Reduction, held in Hyogo, Japan from 18 to 22 January 2005, adopted a 10-year plan which was signed by 168 States Members of the United Nations.

- Measures to address these vulnerabilities and meet the challenges related to climate change-induced displacement should be informed and supported by a human rights-based approach which is applied at all phases of displacement and disaster response. The Nansen principles, developed at the Nansen Conference on Climate Change and Displacement (see para. 15 above), underscored the need for such an approach. Principle I states that "responses to climate and environmentally-related displacement need to be informed by adequate knowledge and guided by the fundamental principles of humanity, human dignity, human rights and international cooperation".

- The State has the primary responsibility to protect and assist persons displaced within its borders. At the same time, in the context of climate change-induced displacement and the disproportionate burden imposed on poor regions and countries, shared international responsibility has also been acknowledged. Where State capacities and resources are insufficient, international cooperation and partnerships should help support the cost of adaptation measures. This is consistent with human rights standards and principles (A/HRC/10/61, para. 87) and recognized in the Cancun Adaptation Framework, which invites Parties to enhance action on adaptation, taking into account their common but differentiated responsibilities and capacities as well as their priorities and circumstances (FCCC/CP/2010/7/Add.1, decision 1/CP.16, para. 14).

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 19
- Paragraph text
- The majority of such displacements over the past four years have been due to a small number of large and megadisasters. Although megadisasters are relatively rare they have a great impact on internal displacement figures. In terms of the number of internally displaced persons, in 2011 the top 10 disasters continued to be in Asia, including multiple events in China, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Japan. In contrast to the visibility of large and megadisasters, many smaller disasters go relatively underreported. Yet, their impact on low-income households and communities, especially if they are recurrent, has the effect of undermining resilience and aggravating vulnerabilities or creating new ones. As such, they are an issue deserving of further attention by humanitarian and development actors alike.

- The Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement were drafted and subject to a broad-based consultation process from 1996 to 1998, and finalized at a conference of 50 international experts in Vienna, hosted by the Government of Austria. In 1998, the Special Representative presented the outcome of this work to the Human Rights Commission, which unanimously adopted resolution 1998/50, in which it took note of the Guiding Principles and of the Special Representative's stated intention to use them in his ongoing dialogue with Governments and other relevant actors. An annotated version of the Guiding Principles published in 2000 further improved understanding of their legal foundations by detailing the provisions in hard law on which each of the Guiding Principles is based.

Looking forward: addressing new challenges and consolidating gains 2011, para. 72
- Paragraph text
- Assisting IDPs in these diffuse settings can often be more complex and technically challenging than servicing a compact camp of internally displaced persons; the latter are frequently much less mobile and remain in camp for predictable periods of time, they represent a consolidated group of persons which one can identify and monitor more easily for assistance and protection needs, and the provision of assistance is facilitated by the fact that is takes place in a set location. While practices to effectively assist IDPs outside camp settings already exist among international and national actors in many countries, challenges include consolidating and systematizing good practices, and more broadly adapting humanitarian responses to IDPs to different types of non-camp settings.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 36
- Paragraph text
- In addition to displacement into cities, natural disasters, violence and conflict are also likely to cause complex intra-city displacement, such as was the case in Haiti in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. By virtue of the concentration of populations, resources, assets and services in cities, the impact of damages to cities due to conflict or natural disasters can be especially debilitating, including to humanitarian and recovery efforts. In such situations, an approach which addresses IDP-specific needs, as well as wider community needs (e.g. infrastructure and basic services needs) through a neighbourhood- or community-based approach, as has been advocated by this mandate, will likely be the most beneficial.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 42
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur has consistently encouraged donors, humanitarian and development agencies to expand their focus to supporting the communities which host IDPs. He believes that while the displacement-specific needs of IDPs must be addressed, a community based approach which also addresses the needs of displacement-affected communities and host families is necessary. The development of more predictable support systems, good practices and standards for this purpose would greatly facilitate such strategies. The Special Rapporteur is also of the opinion, however, that in order to be successful, assistance to displacement-affected communities and IDPs must often go beyond the delivering of humanitarian aid and include recovery and development interventions.

- Improved and more systematized responses to IDPs outside camps, can also help address a number of other issues, including the precarious nature and protection problems raised by unmonitored and unassisted hosting arrangements such as those between IDPs and host families or friends. Highly or entirely dependent on the assistance and shelter provided by host families, certain groups of IDPs, such as vulnerable categories of women, children and the elderly, may be particularly at risk of a number of protection concerns, including abuse, exploitation, and sexual violence by their hosts. In this regard, this mandate has recommended the establishment of appropriate monitoring and ombuds-mechanisms, and other activities such as visits by social workers, working with local associations and counselling centres, and the establishment of a hotline, in order enhance the protection of IDPs living within host-family arrangements.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 31
- Paragraph text
- Urban areas are viewed by many IDPs as environments where they can rebuild their lives, have better access to public services, employment opportunities, and resources, either for an interim period or on a long-term basis. With the necessary support systems, urban planning and frameworks, many cities and towns can offer more likely sites for local integration than segregated IDP camps or remote and rural displacement locations. At the same time, IDPs outside camps who live in urban settings - and particularly certain categories of vulnerable groups or those with few resources or support - are often exposed to a number of dangers. As newcomers with little, if any, access to financial resources, documents or proof of income necessary to rent housing elsewhere, IDPs often have to resort to living in slum areas or dangerous and impoverished parts of a city which offers no security of tenure, less access to services, are more prone to disasters, and make them potential targets of urban violence, forced evictions and secondary displacements. The high rents characterizing many urban centres around the world, a trend also likely to increase, render IDPs particularly vulnerable to homelessness and to precarious housing situations - thus contributing to the increase in slums. In the context of the visit to Iraq by this mandate in late 2010, it was found that in Baghdad alone more than 200,000 persons, many of whom were believed to be IDPs, were living in slum settlements, in inadequate shelters, with little or no access to water, and other services such as sanitation and garbage collection. IDPs in many of these sites, who resorted to living there due to an inability to pay high rents or of their host families to continue supporting them, were also at risk of imminent eviction.

Looking forward: addressing new challenges and consolidating gains 2011, para. 73
- Paragraph text
- Improving our effectiveness and responsiveness to internally displaced persons outside of camps represents not only a humanitarian challenge whose time has come, but also raises a number of dilemmas and opportunities. One aspect which can be perceived as a dilemma is the question of whether and how to specifically assist internally displaced persons in the context of residents of local communities similarly in need. Such situations can occur in the aftermath of conflict-induced displacements as well as in the case of natural disasters, where the displaced merge within host communities which, while not displaced, may have for example lost their livelihoods. At the same time, municipalities and local resources may be placed under increased pressure from the influx of new residents.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 40
- Paragraph text
- Tensions may also arise due to perceptions by host communities that their own needs are being neglected or that IDPs are receiving preferential treatment. A recent study in two urban neighbourhoods in Bogota, Colombia, found tensions between host communities and IDPs, due largely to IDPs being regarded as receiving preferential treatment in a context of widespread urban poverty. In Guinea, host communities struggling to rebuild after attacks on their community, became increasingly vulnerable as they shared meagre resources with IDPs. While some of these challenges can also arise in the context of IDP camps, IDPs who live within the community will be especially affected given their level of dependency on informal community support. In this respect, a greater focus on assisting host communities in tandem with IDP assistance in order to prevent tensions, inequalities or the increasing vulnerability of hosts is a challenge for both development and humanitarian actors.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 46
- Paragraph text
- On account of their direct contact with IDPs, and their immediate role in the provision of local services, and formulation of local development strategies, local authorities are often the best placed to identify and assist IDPs outside camps living in their communities. They can support IDP profiling exercises, and facilitate the replacement or acquisition of identification, residency or other documents - both important steps enabling IDPs outside camps to access the assistance, rights and benefits to which they are entitled, both as IDPs and as citizens. This assistance will enable them to benefit from national social security systems, public services and resources available to residents, and to access a series of other rights (e.g. relating to property, civil status, housing). For example, in the case of Iraq, where food security was a problem for a large part of the population, this mandate received reports that IDPs moving from one governorate to another were often unable to transfer their food ration cards to new areas of displacement.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 54
- Paragraph text
- When local integration is the preferred solution of IDPs, further measures will often be necessary, both for the benefit of IDPs as well as their local constituencies. Foremost among these are land, housing and livelihood measures, often necessary in order to deal with conditions of overcrowding, dependency and illegal tenure which often affect IDPs during their displacement. Consultations and the participation of affected communities, both hosts and IDPs, will be essential in this process, in order to avoid unsuccessful programs and secondary displacements. IDPs should also be given access to national and international humanitarian and development actors. In many situations, local integration will constitute a peace-building and community-reconciliation challenge, requiring mediation and other special measures in this regard.

- [In view of the above, the Special Rapporteur makes the following recommendations:] Engage with affected States and other stakeholders in awareness-raising, capacity-building and the implementation of effective, comprehensive, disaggregated and timely data collection/profiling systems for IDPs outside camps. These should include methodologies appropriate to: early identification of IDPs and their needs immediately during or after a crisis so as to allow for follow up once IDPs have dispersed; and to when IDPs are already living among host communities in urban or other settings. Due safeguards must be in place to protect IDPs who may not wish to be identified due to security or other reasons. Rapid needs and protection assessment tools should include mechanisms to identify: IDPs outside camps and their needs; the reasons why they stay out of camps; the support provided by and the needs of host communities and host families; and mechanisms for vulnerability analysis in different settings;

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 23
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur has consistently suggested a wider approach to the response and solutions in urban areas, considering not only the needs of internally displaced persons themselves, but also those of other displacement-affected communities, such as host communities, including the urban poor, communities in areas of return or communities in places to which internally displaced persons are relocated. Such an approach allows similar needs of different groups to be addressed, while not leaving displacement-specific needs unaddressed.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 32
- Paragraph text
- The lack of urban planning creates specific needs for internally displaced persons in urban informal settlements. Most urban environments already face difficulties relating to space management and shortage of land generally and for internally displaced persons in particular. Solutions relating to land and housing can be compounded by the destruction of houses or the deterioration of land caused by conflict or disaster. The complexity of the absence of land tenure systems and the lack of available and affordable land in urban areas and comprehensive urban planning may exponentially increase the difficulty of identifying long-term housing solutions for urban dwellers and urban internally displaced persons.

Internally displaced women: progress, challenges and the way ahead 2013, para. 26
- Paragraph text
- It is now widely recognized that a "two-pronged approach" is needed, which balances programmes targeted at displaced women with concerted gender mainstreaming efforts. Yet many organizations continue to struggle to identify and respond to the multiplicity of concerns facing IDW. To improve its protection and assistance efforts, UNHCR issued the new Age, Gender and Diversity Policy in June 2011 and accompanying Forward Plan for 2011-2016. These documents were informed by an analysis of key challenges that have hindered UNHCR mainstreaming efforts, including a tendency to treat the displaced as "passive beneficiaries of aid" rather than "equal partners with rights" and the need for proactive leadership and follow-up on the findings of participatory assessment processes integral to age, gender and diversity mainstreaming. Progress in mainstreaming also depends on improved coordination between actors and the development of more concrete indicators to assess the implementation of mainstreaming policies.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 49
- Paragraph text
- While providing rental cash grants can contribute effectively to rebuilding capacity for internally displaced persons who have lost all their assets and provide them with some autonomy in their access to housing, some critics have stressed that the cash interventions would have been better had they been oriented to the market context, i.e. a commensurate increase in the housing stock to avoid "rehoused" internally displaced persons going to overcrowded areas, inhabiting unsafe and informal urban expansions or forming new camps. Criticism also included timing issues, given that the camps were closed before all the internally displaced persons concerned had been offered appropriate alternative housing. The uncertainty and lack of coordination could have been avoided with better preparedness and consultation with those concerned. On the positive side, the Special Rapporteur notes that the 16/6 project was not limited to cash interventions, but also included raising awareness of living standards, vocational training, livelihood programmes and enhanced access to basic services.

One way of bridging those gaps is to ensure that all actors involved in issues of urban displacement are aware of and trained on the rights based-approach to durable solutions of the Framework on Durable Solutions, in addition to how to better engage with local governments, local communities and internally displaced persons themselves to ensure that their rights and their perspectives are adequately integrated into programming and urban planning (see A/HRC/19/54, para. 25).

Following his official visit to Iraq in May 2015, the Special Rapporteur highlighted the fact that the valuable Iraqi National Policy on Displacement, formulated by the Ministry of Displacement and Migration in 2008 with national and international partners, was not being implemented in practice and did not currently represent an effective basis for government action. He noted that government responses were consequently ad hoc and that it was vital to update the existing policy and to implement it nationally, with budgets in place and with more effective governance and response structures and institutions to help guide and regulate government action at the national and regional levels.

Where possible, structures to support durable solutions should avoid duplication with pre-existing structures and durable solutions should be mainstreamed into other structures.

- As emphasized in a study on assessing national responses to internal displacement published by the Brookings Institution and the London School of Economics, "preventing displacement is the most important step that a government can take in exercising its responsibility to protect internally displaced persons. Yet it also is probably the most difficult and the least likely to be taken, both by national authorities and by the international community." While displacement can be difficult to predict, authorities at all levels must be more proactive and innovative, notably by devoting more resources to prevention mechanisms and to mitigation and adaptation measures where displacement is foreseeable or inevitable.

This system was created to monitor conditions that could trigger conflict-induced displacement, human rights violations or other type of violence. When an imminent risk is detected, the Office of the Ombudsman sends a report to the Inter-Ministerial Committee for Early Warning, which would make the final decision whether to issue an early warning notice. However, while the practice is a good one, the Inter-Ministerial Committee has reportedly failed to respond quickly and effectively enough to reports issued by the Office of the Ombudsman warning of displacement.

It is essential that national and local authorities pay specific attention to the protection of internally displaced persons, maintain monitoring mechanisms to ensure that internally displaced persons are not victims of further violations in their place of return, local integration or resettlement and ensure accountability by receiving complaints and addressing them. The specific protection needs of internally displaced women and girls should be given dedicated attention and it may be useful to appoint trained gender focal points in different sectors of the police and other law enforcement bodies.

Governance structures for internal displacement 2015, para. 86
- Paragraph text
- Mechanisms to replace lost or other documents should be established at the earliest opportunity. The lack of documentation can be a major barrier to registration, free movement or the ability to access benefits and other assistance. Mechanisms should be accessible and affordable to all internally displaced persons, regardless of their displacement situation. The establishment of local or mobile documentation services may be required. During his follow-up visit to Côte d'Ivoire, the Special Rapporteur called for the rapid implementation of the law on the registration of births and deaths, which provides for free-of-charge registration. This law is crucial as many children, most of them internally displaced persons, were not registered in the period following the last national elections. In addition, some 80,000-120,000 civil records were destroyed during the crisis.

- Paragraph text
- For many children in displacement situations, exclusion from education can be a long-term problem. Particularly in less developed countries, lack of resources, buildings, teachers and education materials may all create barriers to education. Lack of documentation, including birth certificates, may be a factor in States in which students must demonstrate their citizenship or residence in a region to have access to services. Discrimination may also be a factor, with schools and local authorities being reluctant to accept displaced children from different ethnic, linguistic or religious groups.

- Paragraph text
- In his 2013 report on internally displaced women, the Special Rapporteur noted that discussions of gender issues within host and return communities and how particular durable solutions could backstop protection for internally displaced women remained relatively nascent. Addressing them required more concerted attention, as well as cooperation between humanitarian and development actors. Amongst his recommendations, he urged States to facilitate the active participation of internally displaced women in the development and implementation of national and regional action plans on women, peace and security, and the integration of their diverse concerns into such plans.

- During times of emergency, coordination is critical to minimize gaps and overlaps in the delivery of assistance by humanitarian organizations. The cluster approach was introduced in 2005, after the reform of the humanitarian agenda, notably to enhance the response to the specific needs of displaced populations. The cluster system has been used in more than 30 countries and allows both United Nations and non-United Nations organizations to participate. It is essential that Governments be included in the cluster system and participate in relevant meetings so that once Governments are ready, the response can be handed over to them and the cluster system can step down.

- The Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework sets out eight benchmarks to help determine the extent to which a durable solution has been achieved. Working groups or task forces on durable solutions should use these criteria to monitor progress towards achieving durable solutions. The benchmarks are the following: safety and security; adequate standard of living; employment and livelihoods; restoration of housing, land and property; access to documentation; family reunification; participation in public affairs; and effective remedies, including access to justice.

Governance structures for internal displacement 2015, para. 67
- Paragraph text
- In decentralized or devolved systems, subnational, regional and local authorities often play an essential role in responding to internal displacement. These authorities are often the first point of contact with internally displaced persons and are the ones to which internally displaced persons turn first for assistance. It is therefore critical that local authorities be easily identifiable, have clearly defined responsibilities and be fully included in national coordination mechanisms. As the counterpart of national authorities at a specific location and of internally displaced persons communities themselves, local authorities should participate fully in all decision-making.

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 45
- Paragraph text
- Humanitarian responses to displacement are frequently short-term and focused on immediate needs despite the fact that chronic and protracted crises have become the norm and are to a large extent predictable. Humanitarian actors commonly focus on narrowly defined mandates and objectives, for example the provision of shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene, food, health care or education. Humanitarian coordination has vastly improved, including through the use of thematic clusters, and in some situations working groups on durable solutions. However, responses rarely meet durable solutions criteria for protracted displacement situations. Holistic development approaches have long-term and sustainable objectives which recognize, for example, the fundamental interconnection between shelter and livelihood, and their importance for health, food security and education.

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- States and other national and international actors frequently misunderstand what constitute durable solutions. Neither return to place of origin nor establishing permanent settlement elsewhere constitute, on their own, durable solutions. In places of origin, homes, infrastructure and livelihoods may be destroyed and development projects are essential for early recovery and reconstruction. Property may have been occupied or sold creating significant obstacles to be resolved. IDPs opting for local integration require development assistance to overcome barriers to integration. Improved housing provision or cash grants, for example, do not constitute durable solutions if not combined with strategies to address livelihood and integration objectives. Host communities affected may also require sustained development assistance.

- The positive achievements of the Millennium Development Goals demonstrate that significant progress by States is possible, in collaboration with international development partners. Lessons can be learned, for example, from what has been achieved in poverty reduction and providing access to education in the least developed countries. However, lessons must also be learned about where and why the Goals failed to benefit the poorest and most vulnerable groups. It is essential to intensify efforts to reach those individuals, communities and population groups, including IDPs, who have been bypassed, neglected or failed.

Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 30
- Paragraph text
- Improved political leadership must be reflected in the recognition of national challenges, including internal displacement, and a political resolve to address them comprehensively. In numerous States, including those affected by generalized, gang-related, ethnic or other forms of violence, large-scale internal displacement issues are not fully recognized or addressed. Consequently, legal and policy safeguards and protection and assistance measures are absent and some States avoid their primary responsibility for protecting and assisting internally displaced persons. While some States downplay the extent of displacement, others close sites or camps hosting internally displaced persons without achieving durable solutions. Recognizing internal displacement is a prerequisite to preventing and reducing it, including through durable solutions.

It brought together some 9,000 participants from 173 Member States, including 55 Heads of State, thousands of representatives from civil society and non-governmental organizations and hundreds of private sector representatives, with the shared objective of better preventing and responding to humanitarian crises. It was the culmination of a process of consultation, in which the Special Rapporteur was actively engaged, and provided a unique platform to share and discuss ideas, practices and solutions. It sought to achieve high-level commitments at the national, regional and international levels to inspire an ongoing process of change and improvement in responses to crises.

- The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals include references to internally displaced persons as falling within the category of "vulnerable groups". However, this new Summit initiative creates a timely new goal and global commitment specifically addressing internal displacement head on. If achieved, in line with international standards, it has the potential to achieve real and lasting progress towards a solution to internal displacement. The goal recognizes that addressing and reducing internal displacement is also key to addressing and reducing the increasing flows of refugees and asylum seekers across international borders.

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 79
- Paragraph text
- National leadership and good governance are essential to both preventing conflict-induced displacement and appropriately responding to all displacement situations. Deficits in good governance and the rule of law frequently ignite tensions and result in conflict and displacement. Good and inclusive governance is a cornerstone of sustainable development activity at the national level and actions to appropriately address the rights of IDPs. The first essential step towards ensuring implementation of sustainable development goals for IDPs is for national governments to recognize IDPs as legitimate targets of development initiatives. If left unaddressed by development actors, displacement can generate further longer-term marginalization, inequality, fragility and vulnerability. Addressing internal displacement through a development lens has the potential to prevent further marginalization and potential secondary displacement.

- Despite the explicit commitments made in the United Nations Millennium Declaration to protect the vulnerable and "to help all refugees and displaced persons to return voluntarily to their homes, in safety and dignity and to be smoothly reintegrated into their societies", millions of IDPs globally are amongst those who were left behind as others were brought out of poverty. All durable solutions, not just return, but also local integration or settlement elsewhere within the country, must be considered as options available to IDPs. They all require the involvement of development processes, strategies, and actors for their achievement.

- The synthesis report provides a clear call to include IDPs. Political negotiations continue in 2015 and will culminate in a Special Summit on Sustainable Development, to be attended by Heads of State and Government, in New York from 25 to 27 September, at which the post-2015 development agenda and the sustainable development goals will be adopted. The Special Rapporteur stresses the need for the ongoing discussions to address displacement. Displacement concerns must also be addressed in the formulation of indicators for targets whose implementation can affect the well-being of IDPs, including those relating to resilience and disaster risk reduction; equal opportunity; and social, economic political inclusion.

- A deeper understanding of the causes of conflict and displacement is required. The Special Rapporteur has highlighted that where a history of violence or conflict exists, perhaps along ethnic or religious lines or due to general or gang violence that has led to population displacements, Governments can take concrete national measures to prevent violent clashes and displacement in the future. Such measures may include specific protection and policing initiatives to safeguard vulnerable communities, anti-discrimination and social integration policies, dialogue and reconciliation initiatives aimed at reducing the possibility of violence breaking out, as well as economic or social policies to remove the triggers of violence that may exist in such issues as poverty, discrimination or inequality.

- Paragraph text
- While in some crisis situations the threat to life is so grave that seeking asylum outside the country is the only safe option, much more must be done to protect and support internally displaced persons and give them viable options to achieve safety in their own countries where that is their desire. In protracted displacement situations, national and international attention to affected persons frequently wanes over time and personal resources may dwindle along with national and international assistance funding. Even in situations of relative physical safety, they may be trapped in a protracted limbo existence of basic shelter and aid dependency and will inevitably seek alternative options and consider crossing international borders.

- Paragraph text
- A key message to States and the international community is that it is necessary to maintain and enhance attention to internally displaced persons beyond the realm of emergency humanitarian responses and to transition towards self-reliance as soon as possible, even in situations of protracted conflict in which achieving durable solutions is deemed impossible. The challenge remains to bridge the relief-to-development gap and ensure that development actors are engaged early on in crisis and displacement situations. Early recovery, resilience and livelihood initiatives envisage an early engagement and response by the development community at a stage when humanitarian partners are still fulfilling an essential role.

- Particular challenges face some people within internally displaced populations, including older persons, persons with disabilities, unaccompanied minors, or members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender community. Women are made particularly vulnerable by displacement, including to sexual or gender-based violence and other human rights violations, and consequently require specific protection measures. A key protection element is disaggregated data to provide an evidence base to build a profile of internally displaced persons and assess their needs according to their circumstances. Such data is often lacking and this gap reinforces the significance of the work carried out by bodies such as the Joint Internally Displaced Person Profiling Service (JIPS; see www.jips.org/en/home).

- Generalized violence may be gang-related or criminal in nature, or may be violence targeted at minority ethnic, religious, political or other groups. It may be caused or triggered by specific events, such as elections, or it may be associated with development projects. It may affect a small group in a localized area or a large, widely dispersed community. Intimidation, harassment or the threat of violence may also trigger displacement. In some situations, the international community may recognize internal displacement situations while a national Government denies or downplays the situation. Consequently, political will to deal with internal displacement instead of denying it remains a vital component of appropriate national and international action, since acknowledgment of the issue within a particular context is the vital first step towards addressing it.

- It is telling that there is a relative lack of national, regional and global figures of those internally displaced by development and business enterprises and attention to the phenomenon in comparison to conflict and disaster-induced displacement. Some research has put the number of persons displaced by development at as many as 15 million annually. Closely associated with economic development patterns, development-induced displacement may increase in countries moving from developing to developed and from low- to middle- or high-income, owing to factors including the exploitation of previously untapped natural resources, increasing energy or water requirements, urbanization and population redistribution policies. Development and displacement may take place without necessary legal safeguards, to the detriment rather than benefit of those displaced.

- In the area of disaster risk reduction, mitigation and response, much scope and many opportunities for further international cooperation and solidarity in prevention and preparedness exists and should be developed. As has been demonstrated in disaster contexts, such as Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines and the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, numerous countries rapidly respond with funds, personnel and equipment when disaster strikes. Expanding the scope and nature of this collaboration and assistance beyond the immediate aftermath of disaster to prevention, preparedness and longer-term recovery should be part of a new global compact. Shared responsibility and solidarity to better find and implement solutions to disaster-related displacement should mean opening the doors to shared technology use and technical assistance between States in a spirit of international cooperation.

- 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.

Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 45
- Paragraph text
- Recent displacement crises have demonstrated once again the links between internal displacement situations, the rights of internally displaced persons and the processes leading to refugee and migrant movements across borders. Internally displaced persons and refugees are often driven from their homes by similar circumstances and, for some people, internal displacement may be followed by cross-border displacement. Among the key reasons for further movement across borders are the failure of national protection systems and the lack of prospects for internally displaced persons to find solutions in their country of origin. While the nexus between internally displaced persons and refugees and that between internally displaced persons and migrants demand greater attention, it must be recalled that the majority of persons forcibly displaced by conflict and violence move and seek solutions within their countries, and internal displacement is a critical humanitarian issue in itself rather than the first stage in a migration journey.

- Significantly, reliable and comprehensive data on internally displaced persons is frequently lacking, hampering the ability of Governments and national and international partners to respond effectively and put in place immediate and longer-term support to meet their protection and assistance needs and durable solutions for them.

Improvements to these types of data and analysis must be made by Governments with the support of national and international partners.

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 building self-reliance and resilience from the outset. To reduce displacement as a result of climate change, sudden and slow-onset disasters and conflict, we must act now and establish effective safeguards and benchmarks that will avoid future lost generations of displaced. No one should be left behind and the World Humanitarian Summit has taken important steps, but its commitments and promise must be realized in practice.

- The nexus between internally displaced persons and refugees has been particularly evident recently in the context of the conflicts in the Syrian Arab Republic and Iraq. They have been characterized by extreme violence and disregard for the lives and human rights of civilian populations, including by ISIL, and the failure of Governments to fulfil their protection and assistance commitments. Other protracted conflict situations, including in Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, South Sudan and the Sudan have resulted in similar situations of protracted displacement, which contributes to cross-border flight.

Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 95
- Paragraph text
- As many countries debate cross-border movements of "migrants" and asylum seekers, attention must refocus on the protection of internally displaced persons in their countries of origin and measures to support the integration of early recovery, livelihoods and resilience-building. Traditional emergency humanitarian assistance models provide little incentive to such persons or confidence for the future required for them to remain in their countries of origin. While humanitarian assistance is vital and lifesaving, simultaneous development activities are also necessary to sustain livelihoods by building programmes and durable solutions.

Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 69
- Paragraph text
- Under Principle 6 of the General Guiding Principles, the prohibition of arbitrary displacement includes displacement caused by "cases of large-scale development projects, which are not justified by compelling and overriding public interests". As in all cases of international human rights law, such justification would be subject to proportionality and a pressing social need. In addition, under Principle 9 of the General Guiding Principles, there is a particular international obligation for States to protect against the displacement of indigenous peoples, minorities, peasants, pastoralists and other groups with a special dependency on and attachment to their lands.

Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 76
- Paragraph text
- In some situations, internal displacement disproportionately affects certain communities that, due to their characteristics, geographical location, poverty, discrimination or other unique circumstances, make them particularly vulnerable to internal displacement. Such groups may include indigenous peoples and ethnic, religious or other minorities, who are frequently numerically few relative to majority communities, among the poorest, and who may experience different forms of marginalization and commonly lack representation in political or other State bodies. In some cases they may face long-standing discrimination and violence targeted against them. Such population groups are often overrepresented in internally displaced person populations.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 58
- Paragraph text
- In the context of global trends such as rapid urbanization, including in less developed States, and a predicted increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters due to the effects of climate change, the phenomena of urban IDPs outside camps is predicted to grow. Both in urban and other settings, host communities and provincial and municipal authorities have a key role in assisting IDPs outside camps, and should be supported in this regard.

- As highlighted by the Special Rapporteur in his report to the General Assembly in 2011 (A/66/285), natural hazards, the majority of which are due to climate-related disasters, represent an increasingly important cause of internal displacement worldwide. In 2011, at least 61 countries were affected and a total of nearly 15 million persons were newly displaced owing to either a severe threat or the impact of disasters related to sudden onset natural hazards, the most severe effects of which were felt in Asia.

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 26

- The Special Rapporteur will continue and strengthen the existing cooperation established between the mandate and United Nations organizations. She will continue to participate in and actively contribute to the work of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) as a Principal, and will work to provide it with guidance and support on the subject of internally displaced persons. 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.

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 54
- Paragraph text
- In numerous internal displacement situations, internally displaced persons do not obtain justice or achieve only partial redress or reparations for the human rights violations that they have suffered, including for loss of housing, land or property. A first challenge will be to address the absence of any transitional justice mechanisms in some post-conflict situations, where such mechanisms are essential to achieve redress for internally displaced persons and other affected populations. Even where such mechanisms exist, fully incorporating internally displaced persons’ issues is often perceived as complex and costly. Transitional justice processes have traditionally addressed a too narrow range of the serious civil and political rights violations while relatively neglecting internally displaced persons.

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 73
- Paragraph text
- Confronted by the reality of record numbers of internally displaced persons, it is vital for the international community to maintain and intensify its generous efforts to meet the needs and protect the rights of internally displaced persons and to begin to reverse the global trends. The vision laid out at the World Humanitarian Summit for new approaches to humanitarian action is welcome and provides a positive direction of travel that stakeholders should adopt. The focus on internally displaced persons is necessary and timely, and a global target to reduce internal displacement by 50 per cent by 2030 in a safe and dignified manner provides an ambitious yet necessary stimulus. Moving from principles to action will be a difficult task ahead in order to meet this goal. This must be achieved in compliance with human rights law and through the implementation of international standards for the protection of internally displaced persons and the achievement of durable solutions.

The Special Rapporteur will therefore dedicate a thematic report to the needs and protection issues facing internally displaced children, with a view to bringing renewed attention to their plight and in order to seek innovative approaches, concrete actions, and new commitments to their protection in displacement-affected countries.

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 55
- 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.

While excellent resources exist, there must be better awareness of them, and technical assistance to implement them in practice.

Initiatives to protect girls, particularly in conflict situations, should also be brought into focus and better deployed, as a matter of urgency.
