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; 5
