The Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement were developed to enhance protection and assistance for more than 20 million people worldwide forcibly displaced within their own countries by violent conflicts, gross violations of human rights and natural and human-made disasters. The Principles consolidate into one document the legal standards relevant to the internally displaced drawn from internation- al human rights law, humanitarian law, and refugee law.
