Group of internally displaced persons arrives in Munigi, Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2013
The Kampala Convention (formally, the African Union Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa) is a treaty of the African Union (AU) that addresses internal displacement caused by armed conflict, natural disasters and large-scale development projects in Africa.[1]
Large populations of internally displaced persons have existed and continue to exist in Africa, and these are due to many causes, the most prominent being violence, environmental factors, development and social conflict.[2][3][4][5]
Adoption of the official text and content approbation and adoption by the AU was performed in 2009. In 2012, 15 member states ratified the Convention— marking formal adoption by the AU. Since that time 30 of now-55 member states have ratified the Convention, with many others on having ratified, being on track to do so, or expressing interest in doing so.[6]
Despite its progress, the African continent's IDP populations continue to be high— accounting for a third of the global IDP population.[2] Critics, scholars, and international organizations point to less-than-substantial emphasis of effective implementation by ratifying states.[6][7] Consideration of special populations and women has also been called for by these groups.[8][9][10]
