Enabling the Sustainable and SafeReturn and Reintegration of the Displaced in Darfur
The consultation on which this Concordis Paper is based took place in August 2005 and comprised the third in a series of meetings focussing on the conflict in Darfur. As well as seeking a better understanding of the root causes of this devastating conflict, these consultations sought to devise innovative solutions to some of its more intractable features. In this case, the purpose of the consultation was to build consensus on how to create an environment conducive to the safe return of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) to their homes in Darfur. Given the elusive nature of peace in Darfur, the content remains relevant today.
Sudanese participants and international experts discussed the constraints and practicalities of the return and reintegration of the displaced in Darfur, resulting in the formulation of mutually agreed conclusions, recommendations and practical proposals.
