and enjoyment of their rights in accordance with international law […] [and] the ultimate goal of these activities is to help [refugees] rebuild their lives within a reasonable amount of time”.323 The general framework for international protection is expanded upon in the Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol. g g Physical safety and security (protection against physical harm); Legal protection (ensuring and respecting fundamental human rights and freedoms, including access to justice, legal status, security of properties, and finding a durable solution); Material security (ensuring the well-being of the persons involved, that is, to guarantee their human dignity and equal access to basic goods and services). The framework of international protection similarly applies to both refugees and IDPs although the latter group is only partially covered by the Refugee Convention and its Protocol since they have not crossed an international border. Nonetheless, considering that they have many of the same protection needs as refugees, some principles of refugee law are applicable to IDPs by analogy. The legal framework applicable to IDPs is provided by the UNHCR Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement.325 Israeli air strikes over Rafah camp, Gaza, August, 2022.
