Cluster Operational Guidelines and Standards for the Rapid Response to Iraqis Affected by Camp Closures and Consolidation, November 2020
Format
The following is a package of technical guidance, per cluster, for the response to people affected by camp closures and consolidation in 2020, resulting in forced returns and secondary displacement to out-of-camp locations. Several principles underpin the response across all clusters; these include the “do no harm” principle and the principle of humanity and impartiality. This translates to a commitment to not stigmatize the affected population by targeting them alone for assistance, and to avoid creating or increasing tensions and conflict within communities, particularly where other IDPs and/or returnees exist in the same area and are also in acute need.
