Internally Displaced Persons Act (various countries)

The Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) Act in various countries refers to laws that protect people forced to leave their homes due to conflict, violence, or disasters but who remain within their country's borders. These laws aim to ensure their safety, access to aid, and rights while guiding government responsibilities in providing support and implementing measures to prevent further displacement. Essentially, they recognize IDPs' unique needs and promote their dignity, rehabilitation, and integration while respecting national sovereignty and legal frameworks.
