UN REFUGEE CHIEF SEEKS SUPPORT TO ASSIST RECORD NUMBER OF INTERNALLY
DISPLACED PEOPLENew York, Dec 11 2013 1:00PMThe United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees today appealed for greater global support to
assist the almost 30 million people around the world who are forcibly
displaced in their own countries.

Opening an annual
<"http://www.unhcr.org/pages/5214d99c6.html">discussion on protection
challenges, António Guterres warned that internal displacement was on
the rise, with a 50 per cent increase in numbers over the past 15
years and amid indications that 2013 could break new records with
millions more people having becoming internally displaced in Syria and
elsewhere.

"I am concerned that the magnitude and the complexity of internal
displacement have not galvanized the international attention the issue
deserves," he <"http://www.unhcr.org/52a840816.html">told the
gathering in Geneva.

Mr. Guterres noted that at the beginning of 2013, there were nearly 29
million people displaced internally as a result of conflict and
violence, and that figure has risen further in 2013 – most notably in
Syria, the Central African Republic, and the eastern Democratic
Republic of Congo.

This also mirrors a sharp increase in refugee outflows, with some 2
million new refugees fleeing across the world in 2013, the highest
number of new arrivals in nearly 20 years, he added.

"Like refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) often find refuge
in the poorest and most marginalized regions of the country, which
frequently lack proper infrastructure to deal with the population
influx. But they are often even harder to reach, as many remain in
conflict areas."

He also noted that, in part owing to the nature of internal
displacement, the international legal framework to protect them is far
less developed than is the case with refugees.

"We are often asked what protection means for internally displaced
persons, who are, after all, citizens in their country with the same
rights as other nationals," said Mr. Guterres. "Forced to flee their
homes, many are without documentation, have no access to basic
services and are at increased risk of discrimination, exploitation and
sexual and gender-based violence."

The office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was
established in December 1950, originally to help the millions of
people displaced by the Second World War. In addition to assisting
refugees and asylum-seekers – people who have fled across an
international border – the agency also works to protect internally
displaced people – an involvement that typically happens in situations
where a State lacks capacity to assist its own displaced nationals.

As of the end of 2012, some 17.7 million IDPs were under the agency's
care. UNHCR, often working with national authorities, assists with
registration and profiling, community advocacy, peaceful coexistence
projects, preventing and responding to sexual and gender-based
violence, strengthening child protection, and ensuring quality and
inclusive education.

The High Commissioner urged those attending the discussion – among
them representatives of governments, non-governmental organizations
(NGOs), observers, academics, and inter-governmental organizations –
to help elevate the plight of the internally displaced on the
international agenda.

"Finding solutions for them [IDPs] requires political will to address
the root causes. Stronger advocacy is therefore needed from the
international community to ensure that peace processes take account of
the concerns and needs of the internally displaced as well as their
host communities," he said.

"Resolving displacement also requires humanitarian agencies to
incorporate a solutions orientation into their programmes from the
very onset of the emergency," he added.Dec 11 2013 1:00PM
