Principle 20

1. Every human being has the right to recognition

everywhere as a person before the law.

2. To give effect to this right for internally displaced

persons, the authorities concerned shall issue to them all

documents necessary for the enjoyment and exercise of their
legal rights, such as passports, personal identification

documents, birth certificates and marriage certificates. In

particular, the authorities shall facilitate the issuance of new
documents or the replacement of documents lost in the course

of displacement, without imposing unreasonable conditions, such

as requiring the return to one’s area of habitual residence in
order to obtain these or other required documents.

3. Women and men shall have equal rights to obtain such

necessary documents and shall have the right to have such
documentation issued in their own names.
