ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the cases where implementation of the policies has either been very problematic or where despite initial commitments, laws and policies have not advanced at all. It explains about states which took the initial steps to introduce new policies or laws to protect and assist their own internally displaced populations but have then failed to effectively bring the documents into action. While the policy was strong on paper, it is widely viewed as a failure due to a range of implementation difficulties including a failure both to adopt appropriate legislation to further the plan and to provide adequate resources. The UN Assistance Mission in Darfur has frequently found its access to internally displaced person camps blocked by the government, and when it sought to create a joint verification mechanism with the government in 2009 in line with the policy, the government simply failed to respond to the proposal.
