Baku: The "Baku Call to Action" document adopted at the World Urban Forum 13 (WUF13) in Baku emphasizes the need for national and local governments, humanitarian and development actors, and international institutions to protect housing and essential civilian infrastructure. The document stresses the importance of strengthening safeguards against displacement and destruction and ensuring that these protections are effectively enforced.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the document highlights Azerbaijan's example in post-conflict reconstruction.

The document calls for all national governments to guarantee free and prior informed consent in these processes.
