In addition to a national government, civil society and the internally displaced themselves are major stakeholders in the search for durable solutions for the displaced. Indeed, as Walter Kälin points out, the most effective way of ensuring that governmental policies are well founded, well informed, and also sustainable is through close consultation with these other actors.

Internal displacement has affected, and continues to affect, many countries. In order to find a durable solution to internal displacement, property compensation is key.

Since 2003, President Putin and Prime Minister Erdogan have held multiple meetings, and Russia and Turkey seem to have found common ground on once contentious issues.

The Brookings Project and the U.S. Committee for Refugees convened a meeting of experts from international organizations, NGOs and research institutions to discuss strategies for dealing with situations of internal displacement where access is particularly difficult.
