Sumario:This paper analyses the issue of forced internal displacement, caused by armed conflicts and other situations of violence. After exposing the legal framework and its main weaknesses, some of the responses the international community has provided will be presented, such as the Kampala Convention. Afterwards, the matter will be studied in light of the migrants and refugees crisis, highlighting the advantages of a regional binding instrument, focusing on the causes and durable solutions. It will be argued that a wide participation of the actors involved, such as the displaced population and non-state armed groups, may offer encouraging perspectives, considering the potential benefits that its involvement may entail.
