b. Regional and International Legal Framework State Parties have the responsibilities to respect, protect and fulfil their obligations under regional and international law, so as to prevent and avoid natural catastrophes. This entails that States should seek the cooperation of international organizations or humanitarian agencies, civil society organizations and other relevant actors to work together during displacements.1 The main two instruments governing IDPs are the African Union Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa (“Kampala Convention”) of 2009 and the UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement of 1998. These two instruments provide for the obligations and responsibilities of State Parties with respect to the prevention of internal displacement and protection of and assistance to IDPs. Some of the relevant provisions of these two instruments are as follows:  Articles 4,5,6, and 9 of the Kampala Convention  Principle 5, 9, 16(3), 18, 19(2) of the UN Guiding Principles. 6.
