GP20 Webinars: Addressing protracted internal displacement and fostering durable solutions for IDPs - Lessons from Sudan and Somalia: Co-hosted by OCHA and GP20, this was the first in a series of GP20 webinars showcasing current practices in preventing, addressing and resolving internal displacement. This webinar, which was held on 25 February 2019, focused on protracted displacement and durable solutions in Sudan and Somalia and had over 100 participants. Confronting the barriers to IDP women and girls’ participation in humanitarian settings: The second webinar was co-hosted by UNHCR and GP20 on 8 May 2019 and focused on the linkages between gender equality and internal displacement as well as the IDP women and girls participation in processes and mechanisms in Niger and South Sudan. A recent report by UNHCR on this same topic21 was presented. B. Americas Colombia 49. Symbolic event in solidarity with IDPs: A roundtable discussion with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Colombian government officials and civil society organizations in October 2018 highlighted strong solidarity with IDPs. Conclusions were that with significant new internal displacements in 2018, addressing the needs of IDPs in Colombia still requires collective action, and government institutions and civil society organizations need to continue efforts on prevention and protection of IDPs with a differentiated approach for Afro-Colombian and indigenous communities. Despite significant efforts, durable solutions to internal displacement are still pending and prevention efforts can be improved. Furthermore, as national and international attention is focused on arrivals from Venezuela, attention to IDPs should not diminish as the risk of ignoring IDPs is increasing xenophobia towards Venezuelan migrants and asylum seekers. Towards the end of 2018, the GP20 working group met with IDP leaders to hear their perspectives on the current situation for IDPs and challenges and opportunities to address their situation. El Salvador 50. Court acknowledges internal displacement and Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement: In July 2018, the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of El Salvador concluded in a case filed by an internally displaced family of 33 persons that El Salvador has not formally recognized current internal displacement in the country perpetrated by criminal groups and their inaction has violated the rights of these citizens. It continued that the national authorities should acknowledge this situation as well as take concrete measure to prevent further displacement and protect those already displaced, among others, within six months. The Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and report of the Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of IDPs on her visit to El Salvador, as well as decisions by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and UNHCR documents, were among the documents taken into account for decision. Honduras 51. Raising awareness of displacement through art: The National Institute of Migration and UNHCR convened the #RefugiaArte exhibition in June 2018, an initiative in which more than 40 Latin American artists participated to sensitize government officials, the international community and general public about the situations faced by those seeking protection as a result of conflict and persecution. Participants included the Migrant Child Task Force, relevant state institutions, civil society organizations and UN agencies.
