Comments:

This Handbook for the Protection of Internally Displaced Persons is the result of a collaborative effort involving a large number of colleagues serving in United Nations agencies, international organizations, non-governmental organizations and other humanitarian actors. UNHCR facilitated the process in coordination with the Global Protection Cluster Working Group (PCWG). It provides operational guidance and tools to support effective protection responses in situations of internal displacement.
