Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 33
- Paragraph text
- At the same time, the Special Rapporteur points out that the primary responsibility for protecting populations of internally displaced persons within national State boundaries remains with the respective States. While on the one hand, a good number of these internally displaced persons may be able to cross borders, as pointed out above, a good number remain in the territory of their respective States. The Special Rapporteur is of the strong view that political will and resources must be ensured for protection of the human rights of internally displaced persons, whether or not they would potentially cross international borders.

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

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

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

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

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

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

- Other factors also require greater attention, including the role of discrimination on ethnic or religious grounds as a cause of displacement and a factor affecting the responses provided to some internally displaced persons. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur participated as an expert panellist in the ninth Forum on Minority Issues, the theme for which was minorities in situations of humanitarian crises, held in Geneva on 24 and 25 November 2016. She emphasized that ethnic or religious identity could be a factor increasing the vulnerability of some communities to displacement, and she contributed to a series of recommendations.

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

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

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

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

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

She will collaborate with key international and national partners, assisting them to strengthen their work, including UNICEF and UNHCR, with which she will seek strategic partnerships on this issue. While excellent resources exist, there must be better awareness of them, and technical assistance to implement them in practice. Positive practices should be identified and applied elsewhere where displaced children are at risk. Initiatives to protect girls, particularly in conflict situations, should also be brought into focus and better deployed, as a matter of urgency.

In addition to conducting bilateral meetings with these entities, she is investigating practical measures for them to institutionalize their cooperation with the mandate, including through the establishment of focal points in such organizations relating to specific areas of collaboration. Furthermore, the Special Rapporteur will expand her collaboration with national human rights institutions, with a view to identifying positive practices in their work relating to internally displaced persons (see section IV. D. below).

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

While there is no specific target relating to internal displacement, the Special Rapporteur emphasizes that it is incumbent upon States experiencing internal displacement to establish national implementation programmes and plans that recognize that internally displaced persons are among the most vulnerable populations, who have multiple challenges and needs relating to development priorities — including in the areas of education, health, housing, land, livelihoods and poverty.

In December 2016, the Special Rapporteur wrote to Member States and requested their responses to a questionnaire. Among its objectives, the questionnaire sought to identify positive practices in the field of legal, policy and institutional frameworks and activities of States to protect and support internally displaced persons; it also sought to obtain information on measures taken to ensure the active participation of internally displaced persons as partners and not simply beneficiaries, in decisions affecting them and assistance measures. The Special Rapporteur sincerely thanks those States that responded and will study the information provided to inform her future work.

The Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons recognizes that “this may entail the right to reparation, justice, truth and closure for past injustices through transitional justice or other appropriate measures”, and that “internally displaced persons who have been victims of violations of international human rights or humanitarian law, including arbitrary displacement, must have full and non-discriminatory access to effective remedies and access to justice, including, where appropriate, access to existing transitional justice mechanisms, reparations and information on the causes of violations”.

Furthermore, she thanks the Government of El Salvador and the Government of Guatemala for their positive responses to her requests for official visits to those countries, and will conduct an official visit to El Salvador in the second half of 2017 and to Guatemala in 2019.

- The work of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur and her engagement with national governments will be stepped up to assist States and other stakeholders in their efforts to meet their obligations towards internally displaced persons. As the international community brings its attention much more to large-scale movements of people across international borders, through the development of global compacts on safe, orderly and regular migration and on refugees, the Special Rapporteur urges enhanced attention to the situation of internally displaced persons, recognizing that many who have crossed international borders as refugees or undocumented or trafficked migrants have initially been internally displaced in their own countries. Many have not been provided with the necessary protection and support allowing them to remain in their own countries if they so wish.

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

- Children make up the majority of those displaced by conflict and frequently bear the brunt of the suffering it causes. The United Nations has emphasized that over 30 million children are displaced by conflict. The term “lost generation” often applies, appropriately, to children whose lives are devastated by conflict and displacement. Their futures and opportunities are too often stunted, either by injury, trauma or malnutrition, or by the abuse and violations inflicted by combatants, traffickers or other perpetrators who have the power to abuse them. Their futures are also damaged by their exclusion from education for months or years on end, or by child labour which robs them of their education and childhoods as they support families in poverty. The challenges are particularly acute for orphans, unaccompanied children, children who are living with disability, injury or trauma, and children who head households due to conflict.

- Human rights violations frequently precede or trigger displacement and occur during or after displacement. As independent human rights bodies and monitors of human rights situations, national human rights institutions have a critical role in protection of internally displaced persons. There are several examples of countries, including Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, the Philippines, Uganda and Ukraine, whose national human rights institutions have played prominent roles in protection of internally displaced persons. Those roles have included advocacy and awareness-raising, training for officials and others in international human rights and humanitarian law and standards, monitoring of the rights of internally displaced persons, registration of individual complaints and investigation of specific cases so that perpetrators are held accountable. Their role in advocacy for domestic legislation to protect the rights of internally displaced persons should also be mentioned.

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

The Special Rapporteur thanks them for their continuing support for her work and looks forward to continuing and strengthening this collaboration.

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