General Assembly Resolution 61/106

General Assembly Resolution 61/106, adopted in 2006, emphasizes the importance of safeguarding the legal rights of IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons)—people forced to flee their homes due to conflict or disasters but remaining within their country's borders. The resolution urges countries to better protect and assist IDPs, ensuring their safety, dignity, and access to essential services. It calls for strengthened international cooperation, more effective policies, and increased resources to address IDPs’ needs, ultimately aiming to integrate them into rebuilding their communities and improving their well-being.
