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

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

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

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

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 61r

- [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:] [International organizations, including humanitarian and development actors, and urban planners as relevant] Promote the development of an inter-agency platform for information management on trends and protection concerns with regard to internally displaced persons, making it publicly available, and develop a more comprehensive understanding of the complexity of urban environments and systems (e.g. responsible urbanization, urban planning and building codes);

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

Durable solutions for internally displaced persons: advancing the agenda: addressing the role of humanitarian and development actors in achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons through peacebuilding in the aftermath of conflict 2013, para. 32
- Paragraph text
- Various ad hoc initiatives to link emergency and development assistance followed the two international conferences, including IASC Working Group deliberations that led to the establishment of a reference group on post-conflict reintegration, convened by UNDP. In 1999, UNHCR and the World Bank co-sponsored two round tables on the gap between humanitarian assistance and long-term development in post-conflict, forced displacement contexts (known as the Brookings Process). Under the leadership of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the President of the World Bank, the round tables identified opportunities to improve institutional and financial arrangements to overcome the gap and field-level partnership initiatives to tackle the problem.

- Monitor, support and build capacity to address climate change-related internal displacement, including displacement due to both sudden and slow onset natural hazards. In that regard, relevant international and national actors should, inter alia, increase awareness and understanding of displacement caused by slow onset natural disasters; develop concrete strategies and measures to follow up on relevant provisions of the Cancun Agreement; and promote a human rights-based approach in all actions and strategies to address displacement related to natural disasters and climate change. Relevant actors should also develop adaptation measures which are comprehensive and include disaster risk reduction and prevention, and the minimization of internal displacement, as well as durable solutions; promote mechanisms for the engagement of affected communities; and develop guidance for States on how to ensure that displacement is taken into account in the climate change debate, on available normative standards and on the human rights implications of that type of displacement;

The need for greater support can also be envisaged in order to strengthen the role and capacity of national human rights institutions in the protection of the rights of internally displaced persons; to assist States in addressing the administrative and structural challenges faced by central and local authorities that impede effective responses to situations of internal displacement; and to assist regional institutions and States in the development of policy and legal frameworks on internal displacement, in line with international standards. While not exhaustive, the above list is representative of some of the opportunities and challenges in addressing internal displacement in coming years.

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

Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- At the regional level, the Kampala Convention, the only legally binding regional standard on internal displacement, was adopted in October 2009. The Special Rapporteur will continue to support the African Union by promoting implementation of the Convention, including through the Conference of States Parties, and attended the historic first meeting of the Conference, held in Harare from 3 to 5 April 2017. She emphasized that its establishment was an essential next step towards promoting and monitoring implementation of the Convention. She will engage closely with African States — those visited by her predecessors, and other States — to initiate and extend dialogue and to offer technical cooperation to assist them to fulfil commitments under the Convention. She issued a press release in which she noted that States must adopt concrete measures to ensure that this innovative and comprehensive agreement translates into real gains for internally displaced persons. In view of the positive example set by the African Union, she will continue to advocate for regional standards for the protection of internally displaced persons to be adopted in other regions, as relevant.

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

Durable solutions for internally displaced persons: advancing the agenda: addressing the role of humanitarian and development actors in achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons through peacebuilding in the aftermath of conflict 2013, para. 29
- Paragraph text
- Since at least the 1960s, the case for bridging the gap between relief and development assistance to displaced populations has been made, but efforts to tackle the problem have waxed and waned. It is the collective experience of the mandate holders over the years that internally displaced persons are worse after the emergency phase of humanitarian assistance in terms of livelihoods, social services, shelter, adequate food and access to health and education, for example. This is due to the fact that humanitarian actors often disengage from providing assistance after the emergency phase of a humanitarian crisis and development actors do not become involved until normal conditions for promoting early recovery, reconstruction and durable solutions are established.

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

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

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 80
- Paragraph text
- Official IDP figures advanced by governments tend to differ significantly from those of international agencies and non-governmental organizations due to factors that include data-gathering and registration deficiencies and, in some cases, the desire to downplay the issue and the number of people affected by internal displacement. The latter is particularly true in situations of conflict or violence and when the national authorities are complicit in a displacement situation. Deficiencies in registration procedures and reluctance of displaced persons to register due to fear, lack of information or other factors can all contribute to underestimation of the actual number of displaced persons. The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre highlights that figures often reflect only those living in camps, while 60 per cent of IDPs are dispersed in other locations and with host families, and are often not officially counted. Even when officially counted, the concerns and perceptions of IDPs are frequently not captured by official statistics and require more sophisticated data-gathering and household surveys.

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 75
- Paragraph text
- Armed conflict, generalized violence and human rights abuses are major causes of internal displacement. Indeed, internal displacement can be seen as an indicator of whether societies are peaceful and inclusive. In line with the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the IASC Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons, securing effective remedies for the violations of international human rights and humanitarian law which cause displacement, or which occur during displacement, can have a major impact on prospects for durable solutions for IDPs. IDPs who have been victims of violations must have full and non-discriminatory access to effective remedies and justice, including, where appropriate, access to transitional justice mechanisms and reparations. Failure to secure effective remedies may cause further displacement, impede reconciliation processes, create a prolonged sense of injustice or prejudice among IDPs and undermine the achievement of durable solutions. Securing justice for IDPs is an essential component of long-term peace and stability.

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 42
- Paragraph text
- Durable solutions for IDPs and sustainable development goals are inherently linked and mutually reinforcing. Durable solutions envisage three scenarios: sustainable reintegration in the place of origin (return); sustainable local integration in areas where IDPs take refuge (local integration); or sustainable integration in another part of the country. IDPs must be able to make decisions voluntarily, through informed choice, on solutions that meet their needs. Freeing IDPs from the cycle of dependency is the key goal of durable solutions and is best achieved by their inclusion in development strategies and rights-based approaches that recognize and respond to their unique situations. Walter Kälin, former Representative of the Secretary-General on the human rights of internally displaced persons, stated in his 2009 report: "A durable solution is achieved when internally displaced persons no longer have any specific assistance and protection needs that are linked to their displacement and can enjoy their human rights without discrimination on account of their displacement."

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 39
- Paragraph text
- The synthesis report recognizes increasingly negative displacement trends. In the section on "dignity" it states that no society can reach its full potential if whole segments of that society are excluded from participating in, contributing to, and benefiting from development. It notes that the agenda "must not exclude migrants, refugees, displaced persons, or persons affected by conflict and occupation". The chapter entitled "A synthesis" states that particular attention should be given to countries in situations of fragility and conflict and the specific conditions of each country should be addressed. There is a consistent call to "leave no one behind" and ensure equality, non-discrimination, equity and inclusion. The report states: "We must pay special attention to the people, groups and countries most in need. We need to include the poor, children, adolescents, youth and the aged, as well as the unemployed, rural populations, slum dwellers, persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples, migrants, refugees and displaced persons, vulnerable groups and minorities. These also include those affected by climate change."

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

- Paragraph text
- For durable solutions to be fully achieved, the economic, social and cultural rights of internally displaced persons must be fully respected and protected. Special measures may need to be implemented to ensure access to education, health services, livelihood opportunities, land and property rights for internally displaced persons, returnees and resettled persons on an equal basis with the non-displaced population. Local authorities have a special and ongoing role and need to work together with internally displaced persons, returnees and resettled persons to make social services more accessible to them. During his visit to Georgia in June 2013, the Special Rapporteur was informed that a revised action plan for the implementation of the State strategy on internally displaced persons 2012-2014 had been adopted. He welcomed the fact that this revised action plan contained a strong focus on socioeconomic measures for internally displaced persons. The action plan mandated a steering committee to, inter alia, support the socioeconomic integration of internally displaced persons, provide them with proper living conditions and durable housing solutions and eliminate their dependence on the State (A/HRC/26/33/Add.1).

- Disaster risk reduction is defined as "the conceptual framework of elements considered with the possibilities to minimize vulnerabilities and disaster risks throughout a society, to avoid (prevention) or to limit (mitigation and preparedness) the adverse impacts of hazards, within the broad context of sustainable development". It has a direct link with prevention of internal displacement due to both sudden and slow-onset disasters. As underlined in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, adopted at the Third United Nations World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, held in Sendai, Japan, in March 2015 and endorsed by the General Assembly in its resolution 69/283, "each State has the primary responsibility to prevent and reduce disaster risk" and "disaster risk reduction requires that responsibilities be shared by central Governments and relevant national authorities, sectors and stakeholders, as appropriate to their national circumstances and systems of governance". At the national and local levels, States should "promote regular disaster preparedness, response and recovery exercises … with a view to ensuring rapid and effective response to disasters and related displacement ...."

- Paragraph text
- While different phases of a displacement situation require different responses and actions by a diversity of actors, key cross-cutting elements can be identified to ensure appropriate and timely responses. Leadership is essential and should be assumed at a senior level, for example under the Office of the Prime Minister, in order to give the appropriate level of attention and priority to responses. Legal, policy and financial frameworks should be established at the earliest opportunity to provide a legal basis for action and guidance to all actors, with appropriate budgets in place. Coordination and identification of responsibility are essential at an early stage and should be clearly explained to all responders, including with regard to coordination at the national, regional and local levels. Numerous actors, including national human rights institutions and non-governmental organizations, have a role to play in all phases of displacement, by raising awareness on displacement issues and having an advisory role, by collecting data and information and by monitoring the human rights situation and ensuring that the rights of internally displaced persons are respected.

- All relevant stakeholders should monitor, support and build capacity to address climate change-related internal displacement, including displacement due to both sudden and slow-onset natural hazards. In this regard, relevant international and national actors should, inter alia, increase awareness and understanding of displacement caused by slow-onset natural disasters; develop concrete strategies and measures to follow up on relevant provisions of the Cancun Agreement; and promote a human rights-based approach in all actions and strategies to address displacement related to natural disasters and climate change. Relevant actors should support Member States in developing adaptation measures that are comprehensive and include disaster risk reduction and prevention, and the minimization of internal displacement, as well as durable solutions. Relevant actors should also promote mechanisms for the engagement of affected communities, and develop guidance for States on how to ensure that displacement is taken into account in the climate change debate, on available normative standards and on the human rights implications of that type of displacement.

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

Internally displaced women: progress, challenges and the way ahead 2013, para. 47
- Paragraph text
- In some situations, such as the Philippines, employment rates are in fact higher amongst IDW men, in part due to the fact that women benefit from greater freedom of movement because they are not seen as a threat by warring parties. IDW taking on new employment opportunities can result in increased tensions, particularly within families and between generations, as notions of pride, status and dignity are perceived to be challenged. These women may face increased pressure and strain, particularly if men do not shift roles to take on more domestic work. However, new livelihood opportunities can strengthen the confidence, leadership skills and influence of IDW. To maximize these benefits, the skills and resources of IDW should be fully recognized and more systematically supported. This entails rectifying the "pervasive biases", which, as the Secretary-General has highlighted, result in resources for initiatives such as post-conflict livelihoods programmes being directed "overwhelmingly towards men". Livelihood programmes for IDW should further be designed to be safe and sustainable, and protect women against unintended protection consequences, including elevated risks of SGBV.

Internally displaced women: progress, challenges and the way ahead 2013, para. 23

- The past twenty years have witnessed the formulation of a multitude of tools and standards relevant to gender and forced displacement, which increasingly include IDW. While some standards and practices focus on particular issues such as reproductive health and SGBV, others tackle gender and displacement in a cross-cutting manner. The Guiding Principles formed the first normative framework to detail a number of specific rights of IDW, including non-discrimination and the right of expectant mothers, mothers of young children, and female heads of household, inter alia, to protection and assistance that "takes into account their special needs". The Guiding Principles identify various forms of violence and exploitation against which IDPs should be protected, including SGBV, underline the right of IDW to access all necessary documents, education and training, and call for the active participation of women in decision-making at all stages of displacement. They have informed subsequent instruments and frameworks, which address IDW, such as the Kampala Convention and the Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons.

Recognizing that addressing internal displacement in peace agreements is an important step towards achieving durable solutions and ensuring the sustainability of peacebuilding efforts, a previous mandate holder, in cooperation with the Department of Political Affairs of the Secretariat, developed a guide for mediators on integrating internal displacement into peace processes and peace agreements (see ibid., paras. 38 and 39).

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

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

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

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 37
- Paragraph text
- In 2006, however, the Guiding Principles would assume a new legal stature in the context of Africa, when member States of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region established a legal framework for the formal legal adoption and implementation of the Guiding Principles. As part of the Conference process, 11 States of the Great Lakes region of Africa adopted in 2006 a binding Pact on Security, Stability and Development in the Great Lakes Region, with 10 separate protocols, including two which recognize the importance of the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, namely the Protocol on the Protection and Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons and the Protocol on the Property Rights of Returning Persons. The Protocol on Internally Displaced Persons, which entered into force in June 2008, obliges member States of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region to enact national legislation to domesticate the Guiding Principles fully and to provide a legal framework for their implementation within national legal systems (art. 6.3) and to ensure the effective participation of internally displaced persons in developing such legislation (art. 6.5).

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 32
- Paragraph text
- Spurred in large part by the need to render the response to situations of internal displacement more consistent, systemic and predictable, the humanitarian reform agenda has had much wider implications and benefits for the humanitarian sector more generally. Even as the humanitarian system reform agenda has widened, it remains important that the specificities of situations of internal displacement and the rights of internally displaced persons not be lost, and that the Inter-Agency Standing Committee and the Emergency Relief Coordinator continue to seek positive advancements with regard to approaches, guidance and structures to respond to the particular needs of the internally displaced. Far from constituting a form of discrimination vis-à-vis other groups, addressing the particular needs and rights of internally displaced persons allows for the articulation of specific prevention and preparedness measures and the provision of tailored assistance, protection and durable solutions to displacement which support States and affected communities more effectively, thereby increasing compliance with international human rights norms and promoting inclusion, stability and security.

Looking forward: addressing new challenges and consolidating gains 2011, para. 63
- Paragraph text
- The IDP mandate has helped to trigger and shape the IASC analysis of the humanitarian implications of climate change, which resulted in shared terminology on different affected populations and a common understanding of the normative frameworks for their protection and the legal and institutional gaps. This work culminated in joint advocacy efforts on the humanitarian implications of climate change in the 2009 Copenhagen negotiations on a United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Special Rapporteur will continue to work closely with all stake holders to explore and develop the connections between existing frameworks on climate change, international human rights law, the Guiding Principles and other relevant guidance documents or instruments - with the objective of contributing to a clearer conceptual foundation and normative framework. The mandate will also continue to work with counterparts at all levels in order to strengthen the response to the many human rights challenges posed by climate-induced displacement, including through mutual knowledge sharing, which is considered a key aspect of addressing climate change issues.

Climate change and internal displacement 2011, para. 78
- Paragraph text
- A number of factors are conducive to durable solutions. One such factor is ensuring a transition early on from the humanitarian assistance phase to early recovery and reconstruction, thus allowing internally displaced persons to return to their places of origin and rebuild their lives as early as possible after a disaster. The importance of ensuring that humanitarian assistance and development are mutually reinforcing from the beginning of an emergency is recognized in the guiding principles on humanitarian assistance annexed to General Assembly resolution 46/182. Yet, aligning humanitarian assistance and the longer-term objectives of recovery and development has been difficult in practice, as the various actors apply different criteria and considerations to their areas of activity. The difficulties are compounded in situations where national Governments do not have a clear long-term strategy. Predicted increases in the frequency and intensity of sudden-onset disasters, however, make it imperative to improve the capacity of local, national and international actors to bridge the gap between objectives linked to the humanitarian and the recovery and reconstruction phases.

Climate change and internal displacement 2011, para. 30
- Paragraph text
- A distinction should be drawn between sudden-onset and slow-onset events since they affect human mobility in different ways. Slow-onset disasters tend to prompt movements of people to other locations in search of livelihoods, food security and safety - a trend already being manifested in different parts of the world. In this context, regional particularities around displacement patterns and their various causes will be important to monitor and understand. This is particularly the case in Africa and Asia, as climate change is expected to have especially dire effects on developing countries, and the most vulnerable populations within them. At the time of writing of this report, an estimated 12 million people in the Horn of Africa required immediate humanitarian assistance owing to drought and food insecurity affecting, inter alia, Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda and Djibouti. In Somalia, successive drought-induced crop failures, spiralling food prices and lack of food assistance, combined with conflict, insecurity and limited access by humanitarian organizations, have resulted in one of the worst famines in decades, placing 3.7 million people in need of urgent assistance and causing large-scale displacements.

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 84c
- Paragraph text
- [Millions of people are being newly internally displaced every year as a result of conflict and violence. Disasters displace even more people and the effects of climate change will exacerbate this trend. Development-induced displacement is also on the rise. With international attention focused on camps of internally displaced persons, many other displaced remain invisible, because they stay with host families, are dispersed in urban areas or their existence is officially denied. Some vulnerable groups within the displaced population are also regularly overlooked. Host families and communities are often heavily affected by displacement, but they are often neglected. The Representative urges member States and humanitarian and development actors to expand their scope of action and recommends that they:] Pay greater attention to internally displaced persons with multiple layers of vulnerability and discrimination, especially elderly persons and those with disabilities, women heads of households and their children, and displaced persons belonging to ethnic minorities or indigenous peoples.

The primary duty of the State to provide humanitarian assistance and the corresponding rights of internally displaced persons 2010, para. 90
- Paragraph text
- In other instances, States fail to adapt regulatory regimes designed for normal times to crisis situations. People suffer as humanitarian goods remain stuck in port, awaiting customs or technical clearance. The arrival of essential personnel may be unduly delayed, owing to rigid visa requirements. Legislative foresight and written agreements between national authorities and humanitarian actors can enable the coordination of humanitarian assistance, without unnecessarily impeding assistance. Guatemalan law, for example, provides for the establishment of ad hoc disaster mobile teams composed of representatives from various ministries and Government departments, who are accorded authority over the entry of persons, goods and equipment, to ensure the speedy processing of international humanitarian assistance. Joint communiqués between the United Nations and the Government of the Sudan, agreed in 2004 and 2007, also sought to establish fast-track procedures, although inexplicable delays and obstacles in the implementation of these agreements have occurred.

The primary duty of the State to provide humanitarian assistance and the corresponding rights of internally displaced persons 2010, para. 65
- Paragraph text
- General situations of insecurity create yet another serious dilemma for humanitarian actors. They may have to rely on international military actors such as peacekeeping missions to secure humanitarian corridors or guard convoys and installations. However, if such troops have a non-neutral mandate or are perceived as supporting a particular side in the conflict, the humanitarian organizations they protect may be viewed as being too closely associated with them, thus undermining the neutral and impartial profile that forms the basis of their work and traditionally protected them from violence. The dilemma is exacerbated when no military forces under international command are available, and humanitarian actors must rely on Government forces or private security companies, which typically are not detached from local political dynamics, to physically protect them. This is currently the case in virtually all of Somalia, and may become the case in Chad and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, should the blue helmet troops eventually be withdrawn.

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

- A consistent message of the Summit was that full respect for and implementation of international law, including international humanitarian law and international human rights law and standards, is vital to the protection of those affected by crises. The Summit provided a strong message that abiding by international laws and standards is an obligation that must be upheld in practice and offers the "last protection against barbarity". Nevertheless, the targeting of civilians and residential areas, including attacks on camps for internally displaced persons, the besieging of populations and restrictions on civilians seeking safety is frequent in some ongoing conflicts. Displacement could be reduced if international humanitarian law was respected by all parties to armed conflict, in particular the principles of distinction, proportionality and precaution and the prohibition on ordering the displacement of the civilian population for reasons related to an armed conflict, unless their security demands it. Improving compliance with international humanitarian law and increasing efforts to protect civilians and limit the harm they can be exposed to is vital to reducing displacement.

- Changes in the environment and climate have an important impact on human mobility and are predicted to significantly increase displacement and alter its patterns. In 2013 alone, some 22.4 million people were newly displaced by disasters triggered by natural events. In 2010, the Cancun Agreements expressly acknowledged "climate-induced displacement", which the Special Rapporteur addressed in his report to the General Assembly in 2011. Preparedness, environmental risk assessment, mitigation and disaster risk reduction are development imperatives in the context of the challenges posed by climate change-induced displacement. The consequences of climate change, such as environmental degradation and loss of livelihood, are a driver of increased rural-to-urban migration, often to urban slums and informal settlements offering precarious living conditions. Climate change-induced displacement must be addressed in humanitarian and development terms, to alleviate immediate suffering, but also to ensure lasting, development-based solutions for affected persons that avoid the precariousness, marginalization and instability associated with protracted displacement.

Governance structures for internal displacement 2015, para. 37
- Paragraph text
- At all stages of displacement, responses must involve full consultation with and meaningful participation of internally displaced persons and other displacement-affected communities, including when formulating policy frameworks and programmes. Internally displaced persons must not be considered simply as passive beneficiaries but as full stakeholders in the design, implementation and monitoring of responses. Internally displaced persons' voices, including those of women and particularly vulnerable groups, must be heard. Internally displaced persons must be consulted on any decision affecting them and consultative bodies and processes must be established as part of displacement governance. This is imperative to ensure protection of the rights of internally displaced persons, for example, their right to freely choose whether to return to their homes or find durable solutions in a location of their choice. During his country visit to Georgia in June 2013, the Special Rapporteur welcomed the active participation of civil society representatives in the formulation of the State strategy on internally displaced persons, adopted in 2007. He nevertheless noted that the Government should provide internally displaced persons with better information and consult them systematically (A/HRC/26/33/Add.1).

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 59
- Paragraph text
- In some cases, such as in Colombia, there are hundreds of associations of internally displaced persons, representing various communities of origin, women's groups or indigenous groups, among others. The Government has set up a consultative process with those associations that reaches out to such groups. The Government of Georgia has also engaged in widespread consultations with internally displaced persons (see A/HRC/26/33/Add.1). While not flawless, such processes represent a meaningful effort by Governments to consult internally displaced persons. Consultations can affect the attitude of the Government towards such persons, as was the case in Afghanistan. For example, until 2013, the authorities had not considered internally displaced persons to be permanent citizens of Herat, but, following the consultations, the political elites of the city now acknowledge the permanent settlement of those persons in the city. In a major breakthrough, the Government is now considering upgrading and regularizing the Maslakh settlement. Measures aimed at achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons can therefore yield positive results when internally displaced persons are treated not as objects, but as active participants in the search for, and implementation of, durable solutions.

- The municipal authorities of Kabul and the Government are working with the Japan International Cooperation Agency to develop an urbanization plan for the building of new housing units over the coming eight years. The expected benefits include strengthened municipal capacity to manage urban development and deliver services; improved institutional coordination and monitoring of key urban indicators; increased access to basic services for urban households; phased regularization of tenure for 50 per cent of households living in informal settlements; upgraded public services and facilities, including new urban area development; increased availability of affordable shelters, including an increase of 50 per cent in the number of housing units and of 30 per cent in the area of serviced land on the market, coupled with access to affordable finance; and an improved urban environment with green areas and open spaces. It is to be noted, however, that, while internally displaced persons are expected to benefit from the initiative, the plan has been criticized for ignoring the informal settlements in which many live. Furthermore, it may be difficult to relocate internally displaced persons and other groups living in informal settlements en masse.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- Transitional solutions are sometimes mistaken for durable solutions. For example, in the case of Haiti, many actors understood durable solutions only in terms of camp closures or access to housing, overlooking the cross-sectoral and protection dimensions of durable solutions. The Special Rapporteur recalls that a comprehensive understanding of the framework of durable solutions is well embedded in the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons. He reiterates the importance of using and implementing the Framework in efforts by the competent authorities, the international community, civil society and other stakeholders to tackle durable solutions comprehensively. A recent study by the International Organization for Migration and the Brookings Institution on durable solutions in Haiti disclosed that, even among those familiar with the Framework, there were debates on how to make it more specific and operational and there were concerns that it would favour preferential treatment for internally displaced persons compared with the urban poor and other groups at risk. Lopsided views on durable solutions underscore the importance of advocacy, awareness-raising and a comprehensive approach that absorbs the context of development, vulnerability or poverty and also displacement-affected communities.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 39
- Paragraph text
- A comprehensive understanding of all the structural and cyclical causes of particular urban displacement dynamics is necessary for national Governments and local or municipal authorities and the international community to respond effectively using an all-encompassing durable solution approach. For example, in Afghanistan, while conflict and insecurity are usually the first reported causes of displacement, the loss of means to meet basic needs, services and livelihoods during such displacement emerge strongly as concurrent factors driving displacement to urban areas. The Special Rapporteur therefore calls for an effective national and international response to internal displacement in urban settings, which should be based on a long-term focus on durable solutions from the outset of such displacement. Understanding of urban displacement shows that short-term responses focused on assistance and programming mitigate the situation of urban internally displaced persons in the short term, but are inadequate to deal with the often long-lasting characteristic of urban displacement and the consequential impoverishment of internally displaced persons and displacement-affected communities. This effective long-term response approach entails the joint engagement of humanitarian and development actors, which the Special Rapporteur considered in his report to the General Assembly in 2013 (A/68/225).

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 30
- Paragraph text
- Some urban areas, such as in Darfur, have grown expansively, thereby enveloping camps for internally displaced persons that were originally located away from the areas in question. Elsewhere, such as in Port-au-Prince, some internally displaced persons live in urban settlements for the displaced that are joined with poor urban informal settlements. In other instances, it is common to find urban internally displaced persons in unused public buildings or on unused public land, in rented private buildings living invisibly within host communities or in host families. Their living conditions in urban areas are often precarious and, regularly along with the urban poor, they often live in urban parts or peripheries that are not connected to basic services and far from livelihood opportunities, where transportation is not affordable for them or does not exist. A study carried out by UNHCR and the World Bank on Afghanistan showed that only one third of the internally displaced persons surveyed had access to electricity, adequate supplies and sanitation facilities. In Kabul, informal settlements for internally displaced persons are not protected against the harsh weather conditions, which caused the deaths of several children during the winter of 2012.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 22
- Paragraph text
- For more than 20 years, the mandate holders have consistently addressed urban displacement and its consequences and called for durable solutions during numerous country visits, including to Colombia (A/HRC/4/38/Add.3), Côte d'Ivoire (A/HRC/ 23/44/Add.1), East Timor (E/CN.4/2000/83/Add.3), Kenya (A/HRC/19/54/Add.2), Somalia (A/HRC/13/21/Add.2), the Sudan (A/HRC/23/44/Add.2) and, more recently, Haiti (report to be submitted to the Human Rights Council at its twenty-ninth session, in June 2015). They have also undertaken considerable work through law and policy support in Afghanistan, Kenya, Somalia and Yemen, considering the specific aspects of urban displacement, on particular matters such as eviction or relocation, notably in the context of climate change and slow-onset disasters that prompt movements of people to urban locations in search of livelihoods, security and safety (see A/66/285, para. 30). In previous thematic reports on a more systematized response to internally displaced persons outside camps (A/HRC/19/54) and the role of humanitarian and development actors in achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons through peacebuilding in the aftermath of conflict (A/68/225), the Special Rapporteur has also considered other aspects further developed herein.

- Paragraph text
- Despite attempts to mainstream attention to gender, age and other elements of diversity, room remains for stronger links between gender and generation-sensitive analyses and interventions in support of IDPs. This is especially the case for adolescent girls, young and older IDW. The ageing of the global population points towards the need to integrate gender and generation-sensitive approaches to internal displacement more systematically, given the growing proportion of elderly displaced women, including widows, with particular capacities and protection and assistance concerns. These concerns may be particularly pronounced when older IDW take on the role of caregivers to children whose parents have died or moved elsewhere. Similarly, displaced girls are burdened with heavy household responsibilities, including domestic chores, such as fetching water and firewood and caring for younger siblings. This often results in young girls missing out on schooling and exposes them to increased protection risks. There is also a need for more concerted attention to the particular risks and challenges faced by IDW and girls with disabilities, including ensuring full access to and inclusion in humanitarian programmes and recognizing their skills and capacities.

- Paragraph text
- Moreover, experiences of crisis, conflict and displacement often challenge existing notions of gender. While uprooted, many women take on new roles as leaders and breadwinners, which they sustain after displacement by, for example, developing new businesses and promoting peaceful coexistence at the grassroots level. However, many women struggle to preserve these advances upon return or resettlement, as they are often pressured to revert to traditional gender roles. Such changed gender roles can lead to increased incidents of domestic violence, particularly when men return to their families and communities and are not able to resume their traditional roles as breadwinners and head of the family. Hence, the importance of actively engaging men in order to achieve equitable humanitarian assistance and enhancing IDW participation and protection. Additionally, displaced and returnee women may be disadvantaged with regard to housing rights, be unable to gain security of tenure, and are often marginalized in the negotiation of land claims. Those with disabilities may also face particular obstacles to accessing durable solutions, including extreme marginalization in decision-making processes, lack of appropriate transportation and inadequate services and pervasive discrimination in return and resettlement communities.

Internally displaced women: progress, challenges and the way ahead 2013, para. 46
- Paragraph text
- Access to sustainable livelihoods for both women and men is now widely recognized as a key element of protection in the context of displacement, and is critical to ensuring durable solutions for IDPs. IDW and girls are often disproportionately affected by the loss of livelihoods during displacement. For example, due to security concerns, they may be more confined to the domestic sphere than they were prior to displacement and unable to leave the home in order to pursue livelihoods or other necessary activities. They may not be able to practise their livelihoods due to loss of land and livestock and may have particular difficulty in shifting from rural to urban lifestyles (or vice versa) and livelihood options, depending on their level of education and cultural or other barriers. In extreme circumstances, IDW and girls may resort to dangerous coping practices, such as survival sex, to feed their families. They are also often the first to drop out of school and take on work to support the family; incidences of early marriage tend to rise; and they may experience increased risk of trafficking. Such risks, as well as exposure to sexual violence, harassment, physical abuse, and exploitation, need to be taken into account when programing and advocating for livelihood programmes or schemes for IDW.

- Paragraph text
- Beyond consultation and participation processes, mobilization of IDW to actively assert their rights can play a critical role in advancing and sustaining equitable assistance, protection and development strategies at the community level. In countries such as Colombia and Georgia, IDW have formed organizations to advocate for their rights at multiple levels, gaining important political skills and capacity to inform and advise other women facing human rights concerns. However, IDW who mobilize to defend their rights are often exposed to increased risks and threats, including SGBV perpetrated by State or non-State armed actors. National and international actors should document, monitor and ensure accountability for these violations and ensure comprehensive protection for these IDPs. Equally, these actors can support the development of such groups by encouraging their engagement in policy development and implementation processes, and by promoting access to training and opportunities to exchange experiences with other women involved in mobilization efforts. Moreover, the value of IDW mobilization may extend beyond the period of displacement, as community mobilization efforts establish women as active, equal citizens and leaders. Opportunities for young IDW to participate in mobilization processes are therefore of particular importance.

- Paragraph text
- In addition to promoting access to criminal and civil justice systems for IDW, it is also essential to consider how their concerns are addressed through transitional justice processes. Transitional justice measures such as restitution, compensation, trials and truth and reconciliation commissions can contribute to recognizing and redressing the violations experienced by IDW, and in turn supporting sustainable solutions to displacement. Maximizing these contributions depends upon ensuring their accessibility, equitability and relevance to the priorities of IDW. For instance, reparation programmes can be calibrated to mitigate pre-existing structural inequalities, such as biased inheritance or other practices, for example by recognizing customary marriages in order to facilitate recognition of succession and inheritance rights and displaced women and men as co-claimants, or by distributing compensation benefits on an individual rather than family-unit basis, so as to increase women's control over the use of their share. In countries where the presence of formal legal institutions is limited at the local level, and alternative dispute-resolution mechanisms or customary justice are de facto the main accessible form of justice, programmes should consider engaging with these to sensitize them to national and international standards and progressively redress discriminatory customary practices.

- As many post-conflict contexts and, in particular, situations of protracted displacement demonstrate, the resolution of internal displacement situations requires concerted and consolidated efforts by humanitarian, human rights, development and peacebuilding actors. States bear the primary responsibility for finding durable solutions for internally displaced persons based on the recognition of such persons' right to choose between the options of return, local integration or settlement elsewhere in the country. States facing the complex challenge of finding durable solutions should receive support from international and national organizations and donor States in meeting the humanitarian, development, peacebuilding and human rights demands of such a long process of ending displacement. The Special Rapporteur seeks to support and facilitate such cooperative and coordinated efforts by Governments, international organizations, the international community, internally displaced persons and relevant national actors.

- At the local level, development non-governmental organizations involved in supporting internally displaced persons in emergency contexts are applying their community development expertise to provide longer-term development and peacebuilding support for durable solutions. Around the world, internally displaced persons have mobilized to push for their rights, initiating development and peacebuilding projects and taking a leading role in crafting their own solutions to displacement. In Yemen, with timely support from the Peacebuilding Fund, internally displaced persons voiced their concerns and perspectives through consultations feeding into a national dialogue conference. Overall, a stronger sense is developing regarding the challenges and opportunities at stake and the efforts necessary to support the resilience of individuals and communities, many of which should occur both before displacement (through improved human rights protection and development programmes) and in the early aftermath of displacement so as to avoid the exacerbation of vulnerability and poverty in the longer term.

- Paragraph text
- A number of the innovations and breakthroughs achieved at multiple levels in support of durable solutions for internally displaced persons deserve mention. For example, various donors have been experimenting with the provision of multi-year funding for transitional projects in displacement-affected communities. In Kyrgyzstan, a durable solutions coordinator has been deployed for the first time in the context of the piloting of the Secretary-General's Framework, thus providing a potentially replicable example of operational support for solutions. Representatives of United Nations and civil society groups are working together to provide technical guidance on the development of durable solutions strategies. Important lessons have emerged from the integration of disaster risk reduction into development agendas worldwide, some of which may be applied to help to ensure that durable solutions sought for conflict-induced internally displaced persons increase their resiliency and limit their risk of future displacement.

- Paragraph text
- While donors play a critical role in financing and promoting durable solutions initiatives to resolve displacement, short-term funding cycles and stovepiped funding streams have also complicated cooperation between humanitarian, development and peacebuilding actors. In this context, what might be termed "donor champions" can lead the way in identifying flexible funding arrangements, incentivizing cooperation, applying diplomatic measures to help to overcome obstacles and ensuring that peacebuilding and development actors, including development banks, deal with displacement more systematically and concertedly. Improving donor practice requires engaging not only the branches of donor agencies dealing with humanitarian crises and multilateral agencies, but also those focused on bilateral agreements. The argument for incorporating internally displaced persons into development plans is often made, but rarely acted upon; donors can play a key role in breaking this trend by developing specific measures or procedures designed to actively encourage or require, depending on the context, the integration of displacement and durable solutions into these plans and bilateral cooperation agreements.

- In addition to the above, strengthening leadership and accountability in supporting durable solutions requires joint, high-level advocacy from within the United Nations system and identifying appropriately resourced focal points for durable solutions work in all agencies identified in the Secretary-General's Framework. The innovative contributions made by individuals with professional experience straddling the humanitarian, development and peacebuilding sectors, such as the UNHCR and UNDP joint agricultural project in Kaspi, Georgia, suggest that encouraging such cross-cutting expertise can be a valuable investment (e.g. through secondments between agencies and partnerships with civil society). As leaders in the humanitarian and development communities, resident coordinators and humanitarian coordinators can play a catalytic role in supporting solutions. Their positive contributions to durable solutions may be enhanced through focused training and clearer reporting requirements, in line with the Secretary-General's Framework, which assigns them with greater responsibility for the development of durable solutions strategies.

- The achievement of durable solutions requires leadership and accountability on the part of national, local and international actors. While reiterating the primary responsibility and leading role of States in facilitating durable solutions, the Special Rapporteur believes that international actors can also strengthen these aspects. Ultimately, this will enable better coordination and cooperation with government actors at both the central and local levels. In this context, the Special Rapporteur welcomes the UNDP efforts to include the reintegration of displaced populations in its new strategic plan and encourages UNDP to develop a reintegration strategy or guidance note and engage in capacity-building activities to ensure effective action on the issue. The Special Rapporteur stands ready to support such work. Efforts may also be required to better understand the role of peacebuilding and peace support missions in enabling durable solutions.

- Paragraph text
- Although human rights principles provide a critical foundation for the work of humanitarian, development and peacebuilding actors alike, differences in terminology and conceptual frameworks have often hindered cooperation in support of durable solutions, thereby perpetuating the misperception that displacement is simply a humanitarian issue, rather than a complex phenomenon often requiring development and peacebuilding solutions. This state of affairs has had significant negative implications for attaining development goals, building resilience and resolving conflicts. There is a need to raise awareness of the connections between these issues and to demonstrate that it is in the interests of States and other development and peacebuilding actors to support durable solutions as an investment in poverty reduction and conflict prevention. Given that the approaches of each sector have their merits, moving forward the aim must be to maximize the strengths and contributions of each with a view to strengthening the capacity of displacement-affected communities.

- Paragraph text
- Developing and implementing strategies that deal with the humanitarian, development and peacebuilding dimensions of durable solutions requires strengthened efforts to collect, analyse and share data (including through profiling exercises) and integrate issues pertaining to displacement into development initiatives. At the same time, robust efforts are needed to monitor the long-term impact of durable solutions interventions and to share insight gleaned from efforts such as the Transitional Solutions Initiative and the piloting of the Secretary-General's Framework. To this end, increased clarity is needed regarding the process for moving from that pilot stage to refining and broader implementation. This process should consider the potential applicability of the Secretary-General's Framework to the pursuit of durable solutions after natural disasters and in countries experiencing protracted conflicts. The Special Rapporteur is dedicated to supporting 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. 39
- Paragraph text
- A significant difference between the tools is that, while the Secretary-General's Framework focuses on the first two years following an armed conflict, the IASC Framework deals with displacement caused by a range of factors and recognizes that attaining durable solutions is a gradual process that can take many years. Rapid response interventions such as those identified in the response matrix can make valuable contributions to enabling durable solutions, in particular if they contribute to the attainment of the conditions for durable solutions set out in the IASC Framework, such as safety and security and access to livelihoods and housing. Durable solutions strategies should, however, have a longer and broader horizon and be integrated into national, regional and local development plans. Integrated implementation of the two frameworks is particularly important in order to respond to the question of the extent to which durable solutions have been achieved, using the criteria and indicators identified in the IASC Framework.

- Paragraph text
- The piloting and broader implementation of the Secretary-General's Framework are key steps towards more coordinated and effective international support for durable solutions. To this end, it is important to recognize the differences and complementarities between the tools and the need for the implementation of the Secretary-General's Framework and the development of durable solutions strategies to be informed by the rights-based approach identified in the IASC Framework, with its organizing principles of voluntariness, informed choice and participation. Although the IASC Framework focuses on internally displaced persons while the Secretary-General's Framework looks at both internally displaced persons and returning refugees, the rights-based approach discussed in the IASC Framework is highly relevant to the concerns facing returning refugees, some of whom end up as internally displaced persons, as in Afghanistan.

- Paragraph text
- Although reference is briefly made to the IASC Framework and the need to take a rights-based approach to durable solutions, the bulk of the document is appropriately devoted to an analysis of institutional gaps and identification of specific activities and partnerships that could fill them, which are laid out in a potential response matrix for priority rapid response interventions to be undertaken by a number of United Nations organizations within the first 24 months following the end of conflict. The Secretary-General directs the resident coordinator/humanitarian coordinator, with the support of UNHCR as Global Protection Cluster lead and UNDP as Early Recovery Cluster lead, to develop and implement strategies on durable solutions for internally displaced persons and returning refugees. Afghanistan, Côte d'Ivoire and Kyrgyzstan are the three pilot countries for this process. Of those countries, the Special Rapporteur continues to be engaged in Afghanistan and Côte d'Ivoire (see A/HRC/23/44 and Add.1) and stands ready to provide relevant expertise.

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. 36
- Paragraph text
- As mentioned above, in decision No. 2011/20 of the Policy Committee, the Secretary-General endorsed the preliminary framework on ending displacement in the aftermath of conflict. Developed in response to his 2009 report on peacebuilding (A/63/881-S/2009/304), it establishes priorities and responsibilities so as to support the delivery of durable solutions for internally displaced persons and refugees returning to their country of origin. It identifies gaps in supporting durable solutions, including ineffective coordination, failure of recovery and development strategies to incorporate the needs of internally displaced persons, insufficient support to build national capacity and partnerships with non-United Nations actors, lack of funding for reintegration and lack of adequate programming (promoting social and economic recovery, protection, security, rule of law, governance and social cohesion).

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. 34
- Paragraph text
- Although the terminology used to discuss approaches to addressing the humanitarian and development gap has evolved over the years, the issue may broadly be understood as part of the early recovery or "transition" process. The process should be characterized by the joint involvement of humanitarian and development actors at the outset of displacement and informed by the applicable international framework of human rights as a means of building and sustaining the resilience of internally displaced persons beyond the emergency phase. Human rights principles, such as human dignity, non-discrimination, participation and protection, both of civil and political rights and economic, social and cultural rights, manifest an approach to development that is based on human rights and provide an important foundation for efforts to link emergency relief and development efforts in support of solutions.

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. 30
- Paragraph text
- Most efforts to bridge this gap have focused on refugees rather than on internally displaced persons, partly because the regime for the protection of internally displaced persons did not exist when the efforts began. Unlike in the case of refugees, providing protection and assistance to internally displaced persons involves an inter-agency approach in which the dichotomy between humanitarian and development actors has hitherto been reinforced. This state of affairs has changed in recent years, with the mainstreaming of the human rights of internally displaced persons in protection and assistance cycles becoming increasingly common. While some efforts have focused on displaced persons who remain in protracted displacement situations, many appear to be aimed at supporting durable solutions. Many initiatives linking relief to development strive to promote peaceful coexistence and increase stability in displacement-affected areas. In some cases, however, the problem remains that these initiatives have not been explicitly integrated into national peacebuilding strategies.

- Paragraph text
- The holders of the mandate provided their most comprehensive guidance on durable solutions to date by spearheading the collaborative development of the IASC Framework. It identifies the human-rights-based principles that should inform the pursuit of durable solutions and sets out criteria to identify the extent to which a durable solution has been attained, as well as providing examples of indicators that can be adapted to local contexts to monitor progress towards such solutions. It recognizes that achieving durable solutions is a complex process that encompasses human rights, humanitarian, development, reconstruction and peacebuilding challenges and must involve the coordinated and timely engagement of various actors, with international humanitarian and development actors playing a complementary role to that of national authorities. UNDP, UNHCR and the World Bank indicate that, thanks to the development of the IASC Framework, "there is a greater recognition now than ever that displacement is not just a humanitarian issue and that displaced persons have developmental needs which cannot be realized with short-term humanitarian assistance only".

- Paragraph text
- Supporting durable solutions for internally displaced persons, in particular through the engagement of development and peacebuilding actors, has been a long-standing challenge that has recently attracted increased attention. Initiatives to promote a more holistic and effective approach to durable solutions will require the engagement of a broad range of actors, including Governments, United Nations agencies, development banks, the International Monetary Fund, private-sector actors and local and international non-governmental organizations. In keeping with his mandate to promote human-rights-based approaches to durable solutions for internally displaced persons, the Special Rapporteur seeks herein to lay the ground for more actively engaging development and peacebuilding actors, together with humanitarian and human rights actors, in collaborative efforts to devise durable solutions to displacement. The present report is informed by the IASC Framework and intended to support the implementation of the Secretary-General's Framework.

- Paragraph text
- While recognizing the value of these strides - and aiming to strengthen them through the present report - the Special Rapporteur stresses the primary responsibility of States to facilitate durable solutions to displacement. Such solutions include, in accordance with the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, sustainable reintegration at the place of origin (return), sustainable local integration in areas where internally displaced persons take refuge (local integration) and sustainable integration in another part of the country (settlement elsewhere in the country). The IASC Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons indicates that a "durable solution is achieved when internally displaced persons no longer have any specific assistance and protection needs that are linked to their displacement and can enjoy their human rights without discrimination on account of their displacement" (see A/HRC/13/21/Add.4).

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 56
- Paragraph text
- While they represent the majority of internally displaced persons in the world, IDPs outside camps, and the host communities supporting them, are frequently unidentified and unassisted, both with respect to humanitarian support and durable solutions. IDPs living amongst host communities and in urban centres become mixed within the general local population, while others may seek shelter in remote and isolated areas. In both cases, they are difficult to identify and thus may become neglected IDPs. Although often assumed to have found their own solution, IDPs outside camps often experience a serious deterioration in their enjoyment of a series of human rights, including the right to adequate housing and protection from forced evictions, and to education and health, and are particularly at risk of marginalization, poverty, exploitation and abuse. If left unidentified and unassisted, they will de facto be excluded from assistance and protection measures, and durable solutions to their displacement, (e.g. in the context of national reconciliation and reconstruction processes); measures which could also alleviate pressures otherwise imposed on social structures within host communities.

- Paragraph text
- Provincial and municipal authorities can play a key role in liaising with their national Government authorities and displacement-affected communities, as well as in the development and implementation of IDP-specific and community based programmes. Supporting local authorities in the development of community based programmes may be particularly appreciated when authorities must contend with the competing demands of other vulnerable sectors of the population who may feel their needs are being neglected. Such programmes should be based on disaggregated data on both IDPs and the host community, which includes their specific vulnerabilities, needs and coping mechanisms, and be participatory and inclusive. Community-based programmes can vary significantly depending on the context, but can include financial or in kind assistance to host families; community revitalisation programmes; or the expansion and strengthening of local infrastructures and services. Support to local authorities, through awareness raising and training, including on technical matters such as the conduct of consultative processes, data collection and programme design, should be areas for investment.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 48
- Paragraph text
- Demographic and ethnic factors, or the political priorities of local authorities may influence the degree to which they welcome and assist IDPs or adopt an informal "policy" of non-assistance. This is particularly relevant in situations where internal displacement may affect the ethnic, religious or other composition of an area. IDPs outside camps are especially easy targets in such situations, as they are often stereotyped as 'IDPs' in their immediate neighbourhoods, and may be subject to discrimination, security problems including arbitrary detention, attacks, and secondary displacements if they are 'pushed' out of their host communities. Certain processes can exacerbate this situation, including the conduct of national or local census, or electoral processes. Local authorities can play a crucial role in such contexts, by promoting a culture of respect for human rights, rule of law and diversity, making public statements to this effect, and taking active steps to ensure IDPs are effectively protected from discrimination, harassment and persecution. Special measures to reach out to, protect and facilitate access to rights by particularly vulnerable IDP groups, including youth, female headed households and the elderly are necessary as well.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 45
- Paragraph text
- Since the State has the primary responsibility for protection and assistance to IDPs, a whole-of-government approach is both required and encouraged in IDP responses. However, it is provincial and municipal authorities who are often in the front line, addressing both the immediate humanitarian aspects of an IDP influx, and the longer-term pressures related to prolonged displacement and the extension of basic services to them. Yet, they frequently lack the necessary resources to meet this challenge, indicating gaps between policies decided in the capital and what is implemented locally, and complex relationships between local and national authorities and international actors working within the country. This is perhaps most acutely felt in the case of IDPs outside camps, who are less likely to benefit from alternative assistance provided by non-governmental organizations. At the same time, provincial and municipal authorities have specific responsibilities and a critical role to play in upholding the human rights of IDPs within their communities, implementing IDP-specific and community based programmes, and facilitating durable solutions, including local integration.

- Paragraph text
- The establishment of emergency assistance and complementary support structures are also necessary in order to address situations when host family arrangements break down or are insufficient. In many cases, the assistance and hospitality provided by hosts may be primarily based on affiliations with some members of the family and not others (e.g. one of the spouses), so that when the nuclear IDP family disintegrates during the period of displacement, some members may have to leave and find their own solutions. In other situations, the strains of assisting and providing shelter to IDPs for prolonged periods may be such that host families may simply no longer be able to continue providing this support unassisted. In all of these situations, IDPs will in many cases need to leave the host family. Ensuring that systems are in place to support hosting arrangements, and to provide protection and assistance alternatives for IDPs who can no longer remain in these arrangements, will be vital in order to prevent the most vulnerable IDPs from having to adopt negative coping mechanisms, such as early marriage, dangerous and exploitative livelihood activities, and from living in precarious settings.

- A number of actors, both national and international, have already been implementing a community-based approach to IDP assistance and protection programmes, or have included IDPs in wider community projects, such as poverty reduction strategies and livelihood projects. Many of the experiences gained in the implementation of such initiatives provide valuable lessons learnt or good practices. Yet, these often remain discreet, ad hoc, or undocumented. As a result they have not articulated or included in efforts to strengthen and systematize the overall humanitarian and development response to IDPs outside camps. However, some initial steps have more recently been taken in this regard: the issue of IDPs outside camps was discussed within the IASC in 2010, and several agencies or IASC sub-groups have initiated their own review or other processes, such as the collection of good practices. This mandate has also included considerations relating to IDPs outside camps and community-based approaches, in the course of country visits, and the development of guidance tools. More concerted and comprehensive efforts however, will continue to be necessary in this regard.

- Paragraph text
- The predicted increase in internal displacement due to the effects of climate change and related frequency and severity of natural disasters is a further factor pointing to the need to develop a more consistent, equitable and systemized response to IDPs outside camps. The erosion of livelihoods, in part provoked by climate change, is considered a key "push" factor for the increase in rural to urban displacement and migration, most of which is likely to be to urban slums and informal settlements offering precarious living conditions. The Special Rapporteur believes that the urban dimensions of climate-change-induced displacement should be a key consideration in medium and long-term national development strategies, as well as adaptation measures.. These should include strengthened systems to monitor influxes of IDPs, and to address the assistance and durable solutions needs of IDPs outside camps living in urban areas. IDPs, who are more likely to be unlisted and undocumented, are also likely to have less access to services and livelihoods, and to live in slum areas which are often situated in hazard-prone locations such as low-lying areas and landfill sites -thereby making them vulnerable to further risks, including to their physical safety, the loss of housing, and secondary displacement.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 33
- Paragraph text
- While in many cases, non-camp IDPs living in impoverished urban environments have many needs in common with others living in these environments, they also have specific needs and should be part of assistance programmes, and political and durable solutions strategies to address internal displacement in the country. This process may include, but is nonetheless distinct from the general socio-economic and development challenges related to urban poverty. Failing to recognize this often results in a "policy by default" which only treats IDPs within the wider, and often intractable problem of the urban poor. The Special Rapporteur believes that a combined approach, which includes community-based approaches and punctual IDP specific interventions is necessary in most contexts - in order to address IDP specific needs, constraints, human rights concerns and durable solutions, while taking into account the wider host community needs. Moreover, such an approach prevents harm through the exacerbation of poverty resulting from the neglect of specific IDP needs and solutions to their displacement. Assisting IDPs, particularly when combined with support to host communities, can reduce overcrowding, joblessness, poverty, homelessness and consolidate peace and reconstruction efforts, for the benefit of IDPs and the city as a whole.

- Moreover, while family, friends and communities may initially welcome and assist IDPs, when their stay drags on, for months or years, strains on resources may lead to an eventual breaking point and the need for IDPs to find alternative assistance or living arrangements, often resulting in secondary movements and a more precarious situation. Even when specific IDP assistance exists in the form of food or other emergency assistance, distribution of assistance to non-camp IDPs, often tends to be one-off distributions at the beginning of displacement rather than the sustained assistance which is needed. Similarly, while State assistance programmes may sometimes be available for vulnerable groups in society, these will often be insufficient to take into account the heightened needs brought about by displacement, may be contingent on local residency or identity documents which IDPs may not be able to provide, or IDPs may not access them out of fear of drawing attention to themselves, for security reasons. Discrimination on the basis of their being displaced may also create an additional barrier to accessing State services. The considerations below aim to provide an initial framework for strengthening humanitarian and development responses to the needs of IDPs outside camps and those of their host communities.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 23
- Paragraph text
- An estimated 27.5 million people in the world today remain displaced within their own countries due to armed conflict, generalized violence and human rights violations. An additional 42 million were internally displaced due to sudden-onset natural disasters in the course of 2010. It is estimated that only a minority of these live in camp-like settings. Although camps have their own particular disadvantages (e.g. isolation from the community, dependency on external assistance) it has generally been considered easier to provide assistance to IDPs living in collective settlements than to those dispersed throughout the population. The former are more visible to authorities, easier to distinguish from the local population, and delivery of services is rendered logistically simpler than when communities are dispersed. In the case of persons displaced due to generalised violence and armed conflict, it has been found that "in countries where IDPs were living in both gathered and dispersed settings, national authorities and humanitarian actors were twice as likely to provide assistance and protection to IDPs in gathered settings than to those in dispersed settings".

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 65
- Paragraph text
- Impressive advances in the response to internal displacement have been achieved over the past two decades, at the normative, operational and institutional levels. After the recognition of the phenomenon in the early 1990s, the subsequent development of the Guiding Principles provided a much needed framework enabling Governments to exercise their responsibilities more effectively in situations of internal displacement, as well as important guidance for humanitarian actors and the United Nations. With the growing use of the Guiding Principles, and thanks to capacity-building and training activities over the years, many States have now adopted their own national legal and policy frameworks and, in Africa, the Kampala Convention, the first binding regional instrument relating to internally displaced persons is expected to come into force imminently. At the institutional and operational levels, the cumulative body of work of this mandate and the humanitarian reforms undertaken over the past 20 years have led to more coordinated, systemic and predictable responses to situations of internal displacement. Together with the efforts of national authorities and non-governmental organizations, both international and national, the above advances have made possible protection, assistance and durable solutions for millions of internally displaced persons.

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 54
- Paragraph text
- Over the last 20 years, one of the most important trends in the protection of internally displaced persons has been the progressive acceptance by individual States that, under their human rights and international humanitarian law obligations, they bear responsibility for establishing specific protection measures for the internally displaced. The recognition that internal displacement is a problem with far-reaching consequences relating to demographic impact, national budgetary implications and development strategies has in many cases resulted in an increasingly pragmatic approach towards the Guiding Principles, and the adoption of a growing body of legally binding instruments at the national and regional levels by States which see the need for the rational management of internal displacement and for frameworks to regulate their responses. The progressive involvement of regional institutions on the issue, such as the African Union, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights, as well as the efforts of international humanitarian, protection and human rights institutions in providing training, advocacy and operational guidance frameworks, for example the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons, have further supported that evolution and States' capacity and efforts.

- In 2011, the Special Rapporteur devoted his report to the General Assembly to the topic of climate change and its impact on internal displacement (A/66/285). In that regard, he is pleased to note the important efforts being made by the international, humanitarian and human rights communities to raise awareness and improve responses to internal displacement caused by the effects of both sudden and slow onset climate change. While continued efforts are necessary, coordinated advocacy on this issue resulted, in December 2010, in an important breakthrough, namely the adoption by the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, during its meeting in Cancun, Mexico, of an adaptation framework which expressly acknowledges climate-induced displacement. The Cancun Agreements call for measures to enhance understanding, coordination and cooperation with regard to climate change induced displacement, migration and planned relocation. It is essential that adaptation frameworks be comprehensive in nature so as to encompass a variety of possible dynamics and responses to internal displacement, for example, disaster risk reduction and prevention, planned and pre emptive movement, and durable solutions; that they adopt a human rights-based approach; and that they be adequately supported (see A/66/285).

- We have also seen the development of jurisprudence by regional courts, which has strengthened the normative authority of the Guiding Principles and State responsibilities vis-à-vis internally displaced persons. For example, the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights has adopted landmark decisions regarding the rights and freedoms of internally displaced persons and related State responsibilities, such as in the Endorois case and the Malawi Association case. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights, in the "Mapiripan Massacre" v. Colombia case, upheld the legal responsibility of the State for displacement caused by paramilitary groups or armed groups, on the basis of their failure to act promptly to prevent the displacement in the first place and to create the conditions allowing internally displaced persons to return home in safety. The European Court of Human Rights has also addressed issues pertaining to the rights of internally displaced persons, including return, housing and property rights. In some of these instances, the Guiding Principles have been referred to or used by courts in their assessment. Those decisions demonstrate not only the engagement of human rights protection mechanisms in various regions of the world but also the variety of contexts in which the need for protection of internally displaced persons and State responsibilities arise.

- In other regions of the world, States have also committed themselves to adhering to the Guiding Principles and incorporating them in their domestic legal frameworks in non-binding regional instruments. For example, Organization of American States resolution 2667 of 2011 is notable in this respect, as is recommendation Rec (2006)6 of the Council of Europe.

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 21
- Paragraph text
- The recognition of the need to address internal displacement and to develop international standards for internally displaced persons first came to the fore in the 1990s. While in 1982 only 1.2 million people were estimated forcibly displaced in 11 countries, by 1995 this figure had peaked to an estimated 20 million to 25 million in over 40 countries, largely owing to a proliferation of civil wars, ethnic strife and human rights abuses. Uprooted but remaining within the borders of their own countries, the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees did not apply to them, and no international system existed to assist them or to guide States. The end of the Cold War was a further factor highlighting the situation of internally displaced persons. Cross-border movements became easier, existing notions of sovereignty were changing and the need to provide protection and assistance to internally displaced persons confined within the borders of their own countries was increasingly recognized. The lack of clear standards for the protection and assistance of internally displaced persons was a glaring problem, however, and it became evident that there was a need for normative guidance to define internally displaced persons and their specific rights, and for an institutional response to their needs that was timely, predictable and comprehensive.

Looking forward: addressing new challenges and consolidating gains 2011, para. 60
- Paragraph text
- This mandate has been specifically tasked with addressing situations of internal displacement caused by natural disasters. It is an issue which the mandate has already done significant work on, most notably, in the form of the revised Operational Guidelines on the Protection of Persons in Situations of Natural Disasters, which have recently been adopted by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (A/HRC/16/43/Add.5) and a thematic report on the protection of internally displaced persons in situations of natural disasters submitted to the Human Rights Council in 2009 (A/HRC/10/13/Add.1). At least 36 million people were displaced by sudden-onset natural disasters in 2008, including over 20 million displaced by climate-related, sudden-onset disasters, according to a report by OCHA and the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre. This does not include slow-onset disasters such as drought and sea-level rise, which will also trigger important displacements. By contrast, 4.6 million people were newly internally displaced during that year by conflict and violence. As a further aspect of its work on internal displacement, this mandate will seek to address more specifically the human rights implications and dimensions of climate-induced internal displacement.

Looking forward: addressing new challenges and consolidating gains 2011, para. 51
- Paragraph text
- In line with Council resolution 14/6 and the established working methods of the mandate, the Special Rapporteur believes it is important to continue to emphasize and strengthen the mainstreaming of the human rights of internally displaced persons, including the development of normative frameworks, and to maintain and reinforce follow up and capacity building activities. These have been cornerstones of the mandate and have enabled it to contribute to both conceptual and normative advances, and to engage with relevant actors, and most notably, Governments, for the adoption and implementation of national policies, strategies and legislation in line with the Guiding Principles. As part of these capacity building efforts, the mandate will also continue to actively engage in workshops and training programs such as the San Remo Course on the Law of Internal Displacement which has proven to be an excellent vehicle to bring together Government authorities involved in IDP issues. The mandate will further seek to add a regional dimension to capacity building activities, by promoting region-wide approaches and mechanisms for different types of internal displacement situations, particularly where specific regional priorities are identified with regard to the human rights of internally displaced persons.

Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 59
- Paragraph text
- Given the fact that there is no organization within the United Nations and the larger humanitarian community with a clear mandate to assist and protect internally displaced persons, a so-called collaborative approach was followed until 2004. Nevertheless, a 2005 report concluded that "the absence of operational accountability and leadership in key sectors of IDP-specific vulnerability" was - despite that approach - "[t]he major weakness in recent responses to IDP crises" resulting in an inconsistent and unpredictable engagement of humanitarian actors. The humanitarian reform initiative of 2005 sought to overcome these deficiencies by bringing transparency and consistency, predictability and accountability, through the introduction of the cluster approach in which different organizations would assume lead coordinating responsibilities for internally displaced persons in their areas of expertise. This reform had a remarkable impact on United Nations engagement in situations of internal displacement, especially in the emergency phase, with clearer responsibilities assigned and better coordination provided. New funding mechanisms, in particular the Central Emergency Response Fund, were also successfully introduced to provide immediate funding of relief activities in developing crises to address the needs of internally displaced persons in a timely manner, and to cover urgent needs in underfunded protracted crises.

- After visiting a number of countries affected by disaster-induced displacement, the Representative found that too often insufficient attention is paid to the multiple human rights challenges they face in these situations. The rights of persons displaced by natural disasters often suffer not only because of weaknesses in the disaster response but also because disaster preparedness and disaster mitigation measures were not adequately put into effect. Disaster induced displacement often exacerbates pre-existing patterns of discrimination, putting already marginalized and vulnerable groups at increased risk of human rights abuse. The result can be insufficient or inappropriate protection from threats caused by the effects of disaster; unequal access to humanitarian assistance, in particular for displaced women; discrimination in the provision of assistance; sexual and gender-based violence, particularly in collective shelters or camps; infringements of the right to education; non-replacement of lost, confiscated or destroyed documents; economic and sexual exploitation of children in the absence of sufficient assistance; unsafe or involuntary returns or forced relocations to other parts of the country; or failure to restore property and reconstruct houses or provide compensation.

The primary duty of the State to provide humanitarian assistance and the corresponding rights of internally displaced persons 2010, para. 69
- Paragraph text
- In order to fulfil these obligations, the State must take the necessary measures "individually and through international assistance and cooperation […] to the maximum of its available resources". A State is deemed to have violated the right to an adequate standard of living, to health and to education, if authorities knew or should have known about the humanitarian needs but failed to take measures to satisfy, at the very least, the most basic standards imposed by these rights. State obligations thus include the responsibility to follow up on these situations of concern and assess relevant needs in good faith, and ensure that humanitarian needs are being met, by the State itself or through available assistance by national or international humanitarian agencies and organizations, to the fullest extent possible under the circumstances and with the least possible delay. The Representative considers that, in situations of internal displacement, requests for humanitarian assistance create a prima facie case that such assistance is needed, which is to be followed by impartial and participatory assessments to determine the nature and extent of the needs.

The primary duty of the State to provide humanitarian assistance and the corresponding rights of internally displaced persons 2010, para. 61
- Paragraph text
- At times, domestic authorities and other actors may wish to ensure assistance to their own constituencies, while "punishing" or neglecting others, such as populations perceived as being associated with political or military opponents or religious or ethnic minorities. In Nepal, only those displaced by the Maoists could register as internally displaced persons during the internal armed conflict (see E/CN.4/2006/71/Add.2, para. 22). In Colombia, the Representative received allegations that internally displaced persons registering for State assistance were often expected to attribute their displacement to insurgents (see A/HRC/4/38/Add.3, para. 31). In other contexts, humanitarian assistance is subject to conditions that are equally motivated by political aims but are not related to the characteristics of the populations in need. This was the case when, following the August 2008 conflict in the Tskhinvali Region/South Ossetia, no United Nations humanitarian actors had access to the area because the parties to the conflict sought to underline their respective claims to the territory by blocking the humanitarian access routes allowed by the respective opposing side.

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.

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.

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.

Climate change and internal displacement 2011, para. 57

- When preventive measures have not been taken or are not feasible, displacement and pre-emptive movements by populations, which are rational adaptation responses, are likely to take place. Anticipating these movements, and ensuring data collection and monitoring in such situations are important in order to be able to plan for and minimize the negative consequences, including loss of life or property, and the risk of provoking instability in host areas.

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.

Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 55
- Paragraph text
- A frequent challenge is to overcome the traditional relief-to-development gap, progress towards which is constrained by frequent severe funding shortfalls in the area of early recovery. An integrated approach involving humanitarian and development partners would overcome such shortfalls, with mid- to long-term planning, harmonization of funding cycles and early investment in resilience and self-sustaining activities, including protection, throughout the entire cycle of displacement to durable solutions.

- The phenomenon of displacement is currently, more than ever before, a global crisis. As at December 2013, an estimated 33.3 million persons were internally displaced by conflict and violence globally. In addition, in 2013 alone, some 22.4 million people were newly displaced within their own countries by disasters. Given new and ongoing crises, these figures are likely to have increased in 2014, with displacement at its highest level since the Second World War.

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.

Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 34
- Paragraph text
- Internally displaced persons in informal urban settlements typically reside in makeshift shelters, where they are barely protected from intruders and are exposed to the risk of sexual and gender-based violence. Urban displacement leads to changes in gender relations, thereby increasing risks of domestic violence, sexual and gender-based violence, survival sex, exploitation and forced labour. Access to protection and assistance for internally displaced women is vital.

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).

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. 49
- Paragraph text
- Housing, land and property issues are among the most complex structural concerns that must be tackled in order to enable durable solutions. Dealing with the underlying structural sources of conflict, such as unequal access to land, insecurity of tenure for customary rights holders or in informal settlements and non-transparent decision-making regarding land use, can also be key to durable solutions. For example, restitution programmes intended to benefit internally displaced persons must be appropriately situated within broader efforts if they are to result in greater tenure security for displacement-affected communities. Poorly conceived responses to the housing, land and property concerns of internally displaced persons can have significant implications for gender equity, relations between displaced and non-displaced communities, susceptibility to land-grabbing and prospects for economic development. For example, in some instances, land belonging to internally displaced persons may have been purchased by others in good faith and/or investment and development activities may have been undertaken on the land in their absence. Identifying mutually beneficial ways to accommodate the rights and interests of internally displaced persons and investors or purchasers may be a critical step towards the sustainable resolution of displacement in many contexts.

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. 48
- Paragraph text
- Achieving durable solutions depends to varying degrees on progress in responding to structural challenges. This includes ensuring that urban planning, environmental protection, security sector reform, natural resource management and tenure reform efforts are effective and consider the particular concerns facing internally displaced persons. Governments and other actors are sometimes eager to promote return as the preferred solution. Durable solutions strategies must, however, be cognizant of the ways in which structural challenges may affect the decisions of internally displaced persons. For example, urbanization of internally displaced persons during the displacement phase may render rural returns less viable. Durable solutions strategies must respect the rights to freedom of movement and residency of internally displaced persons and should take into account considerations such as political and geographical divides (including tensions between central and periphery regions) and environmental sustainability. Owing to the vulnerability that internally displaced persons often face (e.g. discrimination, impoverishment and marginalization in decision-making), they may be excluded from or negatively affected by development activities in regions emerging from conflict. For example, internally displaced persons may be forced out of informal urban settlements or peripheral areas to make way for the construction of schools and business ventures.

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. 46
- Paragraph text
- The impoverishment risk and reconstruction approach can help to position displacement as a development issue with human rights protection implications. This approach underscores that internal displacement increases the risk of impoverishment in various ways and identifies the particular development processes required to reverse or respond to such risks. For example, the risk of landlessness requires responses such as property restitution or provision of land access; the risk of unemployment requires livelihood support; the risk of homelessness requires support for access to housing; and the risk of lost education opportunities requires access to schooling during and after displacement. This approach underscores the need to move beyond early recovery debates and reconceptualize displacement as a process that heightens the risk of impoverishment and exposure to particular human rights violations. From this perspective, the entry point for analysis and response is identification of the relevant risks and rights, followed by systemic efforts to address them using the mandates of particular agencies or ministries. The human security approach uses different language to address the same concerns and can also be helpfully used to frame the efforts of humanitarian, development and peacebuilding actors to enable durable solutions to displacement.

- 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.

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.

A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 27
- Paragraph text
- At times, information and data collection on internal displacement will only be possible or take place when IDPs are already dispersed and mixed within the wider population. IDPs may prefer not to be identified at the beginning of displacement due to security concerns, or data collection systems may simply not yet be in place. New and different methodologies are usually required in order to gather data on IDPs in these contexts. Important efforts have been made in recent years, to improve data-collection methodologies at these different stages and in different contexts of internal displacement. These include methodologies, such as: profiling which can be used to estimate figures and needs of IDPs outside camps; population-tracking mechanisms; disaggregated data collection techniques (according to location, age, gender etc) and vulnerability criteria, which enable more targeted assistance; household surveys which permit the identification of IDP needs while avoiding singling them out; and community outreach approaches, which use local partners and community structures to identify and reach out to IDPs. However, continued efforts in this regard, both of a technical nature and in terms of awareness-raising, are necessary. In many countries, included those visited by this mandate, the lack of effective and timely data collection and profiling systems, have resulted in a lack of identification and assistance to large numbers of IDPs outside camps, with a direct impact on their human rights and durable solutions.

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.

Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 51
- Paragraph text
- The mandate has also played an essential role in mainstreaming the human rights of internally displaced persons within the United Nations system. Its participation in the Inter-Agency Standing Committee has been and continues to be a central platform for that mainstreaming role, as it continues to advocate for the integration of issues relating to internal displacement in Inter-Agency Standing Committee policies and operational strategies. Increased understanding and mainstreaming of those issues within the United Nations system has also been made possible through the mandate's partnerships and close engagement with United Nations agencies such as UNHCR, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and OHCHR, as well as the General Assembly and mechanisms of the Human Rights Council, such as other special procedure mandates and treaty bodies, for example, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women and the Human Rights Committee. Through its thematic reports and inputs to those bodies, the mandate has regularly highlighted the specific human rights dimensions of internal displacement and raised new or neglected aspects of the rights of internally displaced persons, such as their participation in peace processes, the impact on their human rights of larger phenomena such as climate change (A/66/285), the protection of persons in situations of natural disasters (A/HRC/16/43/Add.5), and the situation of internally displaced persons outside camps (A/HRC/19/54).

- 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.

A second wave of normative and operational advances which would translate the Guiding Principles into concrete programmes and legal and policy frameworks on the ground would eventually become possible thanks to the broad-based acceptance and growing authority of the Guiding Principles.

Looking forward: addressing new challenges and consolidating gains 2011, para. 70
- Paragraph text
- Ongoing efforts in the context of Security Council resolutions 1325 (2000), 1820 (2008 )and 1888 (2009), which seek, inter alia, to strengthen women's participation in decision-making and their agency in conflict prevention, early recovery and governance, as well as in ending conflict related sexual violence and impunity, are important in the context of internal displacement. Equally relevant to the situation of women and girls in internal displacement situations are a number of other instruments, including the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the fundamental guarantees provided for in international humanitarian law. Despite these frameworks, the international community has paid insufficient attention to the particular human rights situation and solutions for women and girls in the specific context of internal displacement. The Special Rapporteur proposes to devote particular attention to exploring the gender dimensions of internal displacement, including by strengthening links with the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, the Committee on the Rights of the Child and other relevant bodies and organizations, in order to address the specific human rights violations and discriminatory practices which impact on women and girls at every stage of the displacement process, and by examining alternative solutions and prevention strategies which would be especially effective for them.

- Women and girls can be especially vulnerable to forcible displacement, are at further risk during the displacement phase itself, and often remain exposed to serious human rights violations even once they have ostensibly found a solution to their displacement. 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.
