Abstract

Millions of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Philippines experience human rights issues during their displacement. Their rights and access to basic life-saving services are impacted by their forced movement and its resulting, often prolonged, displacement. Durable solutions are also less prioritised in displacement management. Though a legal framework on disaster governance exists, it lacked a human rights perspective that could integrate human rights standards into humanitarian support. With the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) spreading in the country, IDPs are at a higher risk of contracting the disease due to inadequate shelter conditions. As the government battles both the spread of the virus and the need to restart the economy in a post-COVID-19 pandemic scenario, IDPs must be included in the national and local frameworks for recovery. This article discusses the situation of IDPs in the Philippines and looks into the policy gaps that limit opportunities for effective displacement management. It also surfaces human rights issues that must be addressed by the government in its socio-economic revival agenda and discusses the accountability of state actors in providing opportunities for IDPs to achieve durable solutions. The article also establishes the need for an IDP law in institutionalising protection for IDPs post-COVID-19.

COVID-19后世界中的菲律宾流离失所者：灾后恢复重点

摘要

菲律宾数以百万计的国内流离失所者在流离失所期间遇到人权问题。他们的权利和获得基本救生服务的机会受到强迫运动及其所导致的（通常是长期的）流离失所的影响。持久解决方案在位移管理中的优先级也较低。尽管存在关于灾害治理的法律框架，但它缺乏将人权标准纳入人道主义支持的人权观点。随着冠状病毒疾病（COVID-19）在该国的蔓延，国内流离失所者由于住房条件不足而处于感染该疾病的较高风险中。当政府在COVID-19后大流行的情况下既与病毒的传播以及对重新启动经济的斗争进行斗争时，国内流离失所者必须纳入国家和地方恢复框架。本文讨论了菲律宾境内流离失所者的情况，并探讨了限制有效流离失所管理机会的政策空白。它还涉及政府必须在其社会经济复兴议程中解决的人权问题，并讨论了国家行为者在为国内流离失所者提供机会以实现持久解决方案方面的责任。该文章还确定了在将COVID-19之后的IDP保护制度化方面需要IDP法律的必要性。它还涉及政府必须在其社会经济复兴议程中解决的人权问题，并讨论了国家行为者在为国内流离失所者提供机会以实现持久解决方案方面的责任。该文章还确定了在将COVID-19之后的IDP保护制度化方面需要IDP法律的必要性。它还涉及政府必须在其社会经济复兴议程中解决的人权问题，并讨论了国家行为者在为国内流离失所者提供机会以实现持久解决方案方面的责任。该文章还确定了在将COVID-19之后的IDP保护制度化方面需要IDP法律的必要性。
