What rights do IDPs have?
While no international convention on the rights of internally displaced persons exists, they enjoy the same human rights as all other people within their own country of citizenship or residence. These rights may be articulated in the domestic constitution and legislation as well as international human rights instruments and customary law. In situations of armed conflict, moreover, they enjoy the same rights as other civilians to the various protections provided by international humanitarian law.
