The Global Database on the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement was recently launched by the Brookings-Bern Project on Internal Displacement and the Institute for the Study of International Migration (ISIM). Its aim is to facilitate the development of national legal and policy frameworks on internal displacement by providing "instant access to official documents, including recommendations of United Nations treaty-monitoring bodies, reports of UN charter bodies, and UN General Assembly resolutions about the rights of these IDPs."
It is browsable by four sections, some of which are not yet fully finalized:
- Internal Displacement (an introduction and overview, with an FAQ section and an incomplete related materials section
- Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement (includes history, a link to legal annotations to the principles, an incomplete handbook on the application of the principles section, and an incomplete related materials section)
- Legal Database on the Guiding Principles (searchable database housing a variety of related documents)
- Representative of the UN Secretary-General (introduction to the mandate and activities)
The database is available in English, French and Spanish.
