ABSTRACT

Achieving a durable solution to the internal displacement problem means that the displaced persons enjoy their full spectrum of human rights and they are able to rebuild their lives. The fact that most displaced persons have settled in safety and dignity in parts of their country does not mean that all internally displaced persons have found a durable solution. Ascertaining the individual achievement of a durable solution requires a similar analysis, but on an individual level, to verify whether a person is able to enjoy the full spectrum of human rights. The Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement is not binding on states, according to Cohen, the Guiding Principles consolidate into one document all the international norms relevant to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), otherwise dispersed in many different instruments. The National IDP Policy entitles every displaced person with the right to a dignified and informed return, to integrate in his or her current place of displacement, or to resettle in Nepal.
