Movement policy on internal displacement

The Movement has long been active in addressing the needs of individuals and communities affected by internal displacement. The Movement Policy on Internal Displacement, adopted by the Council of Delegates in November 2009, reaffirmed the Movement's engagement with this issue and its work to help internally displaced people and host communities.
