Description: In 1998, the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement were presented to the UN Commission on Human Rights, offering a framework comprising 30 standards to safeguard the rights of internally displaced people (IDPs). Despite numerous efforts by countries to address internal displacement in the past 25 years, the number of IDPs continues to rise, necessitating a review of progress and renewed collective action. This report highlights policies, legal frameworks, and initiatives developed over the years, showcases improvements for various countries in the IDMC Internal Displacement Index (IDI), and underscores the ongoing challenges in managing internal displacement while providing recommendations for future efforts.
