Paragraph
Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 61z
- Paragraph text
- [Durable solutions remain available options for internally displaced persons, including those in urban settings. The very nature of urban displacement, however, tends to lend weight to local integration as the viable choice preferred by internally displaced persons in urban areas. Informed by the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons, the Special Rapporteur reiterates his recommendations made in his previous reports (A/HRC/19/54 and A/68/225) and adds the following recommendations to:] [International organizations, including humanitarian and development actors, and urban planners as relevant] Given the little knowledge on the impact of displacement on health and emotional well-being and its influence on urban dynamics, expand research on protection gaps and needs, especially those of internally displaced persons particularly at risk, including women, children and persons with disabilities.
