Abstract
Addressing the needs and respecting the rights of internally displaced persons (IDPs) is not only a humanitarian and human rights issue, but also a strategic one affecting both international peace and security and the prospects for sustainable development. This article explores the conceptual linkages between internal displacement and peacebuilding, focusing on the ways in which addressing the concerns and needs of IDPs can contribute to sustainable peace. The second half of the article looks at institutional responses to the challenge of integrating internal displacement into peacebuilding, with a particular focus on the potential role of the new UN Peacebuilding Commission (PBC).
