1. INTRODUCTION
Internal displacement of populations remains “one of the great
human tragedies of our time” (Cohen & Deng 1998, p. xix). It may even
have become a new normality in our globalized world, as a corollary
of persisting and growing scenarios of armed violence, exclusionary
development projects and environmental disasters.
By promising to “leave no one behind” in the new path of sustainable
development, the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, adopted in 2015, seemed to illuminate the plight of
internally displaced persons (IDPs) by expressly recognizing their rights,
systematized in the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement,
and crystallised, at the regional level, in the African Union (AU)
Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced
Persons in Africa (Kampala Convention), adopted on 23 October 2009.
In line with Agenda 2030, the New York Declaration for Refugees
and Migrants, adopted in 2016, highlighted, for the first time in the
UN headquarters, the need for a global governance regime for human
mobility which, to be such, must under no circumstances ignore the
protection of the human rights of IDPs.
On the basis of the foregoing, this chapter pursues to assess to what
extent and degree the Global Compact on Refugees, envisioned in the
above-mentioned New York Declaration and adopted by the UN General
Assembly on 17 December 2018, advances the arbitration of sustainable
solutions demanded by the dramatic situation of millions of IDPs.
