<p>Given the UN Compacts are focused specifically on refugees and migration, there
may be limited scope to ensure the specific needs of internally displaced people are
addressed within these particular frameworks. However, there should be common lessons
to apply in terms of the importance of a longer term development response to displacement
and we are considering other opportunities to raise the profile of the issue and galvanise
international efforts in 2018. For example, the UK is supportive of the idea of a
UN High Level Panel on internally displaced people to assess the effectiveness of
the current response to internal displacement and galvanise further political and
operational action. We are discussing this closely with other interested States and
UN agencies.</p>
