A/HRC/41/40/Add.1 of the Guiding Principles as a framework for preventing, addressing and resolving displacement and their 20th anniversary as a fitting time to reinvigorate a dialogue and action on prevention, protection and solutions with States affected by internal displacement and their partners; Municipal, provincial and national authorities leading the GP20 activity, which is owned by a diverse range of stakeholders at the national level such as IDPs and their associations and leaders, the private sector, community and sector organizsations, local NGOs, National Human Rights Institutions, academia. Facilitating and strengthening participation of IDPs 29. The Guiding Principles restate the right of IDPs to participate in programmes and decision-making processes affecting them. 17 This includes data collection and analysis, laws and policies on internal displacement, national and local development planning, peacebuilding and durable solutions. Attention should be paid to ensuring that IDPs who may be particularly vulnerable or marginalized, including women, children, older persons and persons with disabilities are specifically included. 30. Suggested actions for stakeholders include, for example: Facilitate and support IDP and host community participation in key processes for development and peacebuilding, e.g. providing a platform for IDP’s experience and advice on achieving durable solutions in peace building discussions, as well as international policy dialogues such as the 2030 Agenda, UN Secretary General’s prevention agenda and UN reform more generally; Ensure IDPs face no barriers to political participation, including access to documentation, voting and standing for office, e.g. an information and awareness raising campaign to inform IDPs about their right to vote and the process to do so; Support IDPs to build or strengthen a platform to determine and realize their priorities and feed these into inter-agency fora to help shape programme design, strategy development or data collection and analysis, e.g. strengthen the capacity and visibility of an existing IDP network to put forward its priorities Promoting the development and implementation of laws and policies on internal displacement 31. Dozens of States have adopted laws and policies on internal displacement in line with the Guiding Principles. GP20 efforts can increase advocacy calling on more States to incorporate the Guiding Principles into their national laws and policies as well as development, investment and relevant sector planning strategies, provide technical support for further development and implementation of existing national laws and policies on internal displacement, and encourage the establishment of national monitoring mechanisms to oversee the effective implementation of laws and policies. Linking such laws and policies to national development strategies and targets, and monitoring their implementation, can help identify solutions for IDPs. 32. Suggested actions for stakeholders include, for example: Organize consultations with IDPs to raise awareness of the Guiding Principles and solicit their views and participation in the development of a national law or policy on internal displacement; Support the creation of a government chaired working group on development and implementation of law and policy on internal displacement; Organize seminars on the Guiding Principles and development and implementation of IDP law and policies with a diverse range of stakeholders, bringing in examples of best practices from other countries; Provide technical advice to substantive deliberations on draft legislation. Producing quality data and analysis for preventing, responding to and finding solutions for internal displacement 33. States will need adequate baseline figures and age, gender, location and diversitydisaggregated data on IDPs to confirm that IDPs have not been left behind in meeting the SDGs as pledged. GP20 can contribute to enhancing local and national capacity to collect, 17 UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of IDPs, 24 July 2017, Report of the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons, A/72/202, available at: http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/IDPersons/A-72-202.pdf. 9
