Even though, internally displaced persons are responsibility of the country ofwhich they are nationals, international instruments have been created to address their situation. This analytic study is divided into two parts. The first part addresses the international instruments of soft law for the protection of these persons, it focus particularly in Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. The secondpart concentrates in the hard law that has been adopted by the African continent in a regional level, and by domestic legislation in the Colombian case.
