    The Handbook for Applying the Guiding Principles on Internal
    Displacement was reviewed by UN agencies and NGOs at a meeting
    at the UN in April 1999. It was decided that the UN would publish
    and disseminate it together with the Manual on Field Practice in
    Internal Displacement. The two volumes complement one another
    and together provide a sound basis for undertaking protection and
    assistance activities on behalf of internally displaced persons.
    It is my hope that this Handbook will be widely used by field staff

    CURRENT SITUATION: "Instability in Kachin and Shan States restarted in early June 2011 and resulted in the displacement of populations, loss of lives and livelihoods and dam-ages to infrastructure. Following a Government invi-tation, an inter-agency rapid needs assessment was conducted from 20-26 September in 39 locations in some IDPs sites (camps, host families, public build-ings) of five townships (Bhamo, Momauk, Myitky-ina, Khaunglanhpu and Waingmaw) targeting 5,925 IDPs. Two townships Mansi and Shwegu could not be assessed due to security concerns.

    between parties to the conflict, incidents
    continue to be reported. Additionally, there are
    indications that a number of people fled just across
    the Myanmar-China border and live with relatives
    or in temporary makeshift camps, but information is
    still unclear and cannot be independently verified.
