A/HRC/RES/20/9
19.
Notes with concern the particular human rights challenges for large numbers
of internally displaced persons living increasingly outside camps and in urban settings, and
the need to better support host communities assisting them in the many countries where
internal displacement persists, and recommends effective and appropriate approaches for
the specific protection of the human rights and implementation of durable solutions for
internally displaced persons that fully take into account their needs and human rights, as
well as the needs of host families and communities;
20.
Reaffirms, in accordance with the Guiding Principles on Internal
Displacement annexed to General Assembly resolution 46/182, that States have the primary
responsibility to protect the human rights of, and to promote durable solutions for,
internally displaced persons within their jurisdiction, including internally displaced persons
living outside camps;
21.
Welcomes ongoing efforts to identify challenges and good practices with a
view to strengthening the equitable, effective and systematized response to internally
displaced persons living outside camps, and strongly encourages States, national and
international humanitarian and development actors, the international community and
relevant civil society to undertake further stocktaking processes on current practices
relating to the promotion and protection of the human rights and the implementation of
durable solutions for internally displaced persons, and to allocate additional resources in
this regard;
22.
Stresses the importance of the participation of internally displaced persons
living outside camps and their host families and communities in establishing predictable
and systematized support systems that take fully into account their human rights, needs and
vulnerabilities;
23.
Supports the promotion of a better understanding of the role and
responsibilities of, and support for and obstacles faced by municipal and provincial
authorities in the protection of the human rights of internally displaced persons living
outside camps, with a view to develop effective and appropriate approaches that take fully
into account their needs and human rights, facilitate durable solutions and include internally
displaced persons outside camps in local development plans;
24.
Emphasizes the importance of the effective collection of data, disaggregated
by age, sex, diversity and location, on internally displaced persons for the protection of
their human rights, the implementation of durable solutions and the assessment of their
specific needs and vulnerabilities, and encourages Governments to use, on a voluntary
basis, the services of the Inter-Agency Joint Internally Displaced Person Profiling Service,
which has been set up to offer technical support in this regard;
25.
Acknowledges the important contribution of age, gender and diversity
mainstreaming in identifying, through a participatory approach, the protection risks faced
by the different members of communities of internally displaced persons, in particular the
non-discriminatory treatment and protection of women, children, persons with disabilities
and the elderly;
26.
Recognizes the adverse effects of climate change as contributors to
environmental degradation and extreme weather events, which may, among other factors,
contribute to human displacement, and invites the Special Rapporteur on the human rights
of internally displaced persons, in close collaboration with States and intergovernmental
and non-governmental organizations, to continue to explore the human rights implications
and dimensions of disaster-induced internal displacement with a view to support Member
States in their efforts to build local resilience and capacity to prevent displacement or to
provide assistance and protection to those who are forced to flee;
