Implications .
1 . Vet security sector personnel starting from the initial creation of security sector institutions , holding ex-combatants to the same physical and psychological standards as all potential candidates .
2 . Include and represent minorities and vulnerable groups ( including IDPs ) and women within the security sector ; this can be achieved through quotas and active recruiting of multi-ethnic representation .
3 . Incorporate IDPs as a disaggregated category in SSR assessments to track IDP-specific needs .
4 . Investigate and discipline cases when police officers do not protect specific ethnic groups , in order to contribute to trust by preventing future occurrences and building responsiveness .
5 . Review security sector concerns with the population , as transparently and inclusively as possible , with such processes as an Internal Security Sector Review .
6 . Do not focus solely on humanitarian requirements for solutions for IDPs while ignoring longer-term security and justice issues which will enable durable solutions for displacement .
If security sector personnel are not vetted , then the security sector may be filled with former combatants who had committed war crimes during the conflict ; if so , then those who had to flee the violence may not feel safe to return if they know that the new security forces may perpetuate violence on them again . If the security sector is not inclusive of minorities , then minorities and vulnerable groups such as IDPs may not feel that their security needs are being met , and they will be less likely to return and resettle . If IDPs are not incorporated as disaggregated categories in SSR assessments , then their specific needs will not be tracked , and opportunities will be missed to integrate and resettle them based on SSR . If cases when police officers do not protect specific ethnic groups are not investigated and disciplined , then trust in the police as an institution will be eroded for minorities and vulnerable groups such as IDPs . If the needs of the population are not included in processes such as an internal security sector review , then the security sector may not be aligned with the needs of the population and it may not be as effective or legitimate . If international humanitarian actors only focus on humanitarian requirements for IDP solutions , security and justice issues may not be addressed which may prevent IDPs from returning or resettling in durable solutions .
