A/HRC/31/78 that are credibly suspected of committing or being responsib le for patterns of rape and other forms of sexual violence in situations of armed conflict on the Security Council agenda (see A/66/657-S/2012/33, annex). It is to be recalled that, in his report entitled “The future of United Nations peace operations: imp lementation of the recommendations of the High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations”, the Secretary-General established that “States parties repeatedly listed in my annual reports on children and armed conflict and on conflict-related sexual violence will henceforth not be accepted for participation in United Nations peace operations ” (see A/70/357-S/2015/682, para. 127). D. Activities of the National Commission on Reconciliation and Compensation for Victims 28. The National Commission on Reconciliation and Compensation for Victims is responsible for drawing up a consolidated, definitive list of victims of the post elections crisis and for deliberating on possible forms of redress. It has also been charged with developing recommendations for presentation to the President of Côte d’Ivoire. The Commission is now in the process of preparing that consolidated list. The initial deadline for entering names on the list of victims was 30 June 2015, but it has been extended twice since then. The latest deadline was set at 10 December 2015. The Commission reports that 71,746 cases have been registered and validated. 1 Difficulties have been encountered in arriving at a precise, operational definition of redress that can be incorporated into a legal instrument. With a view to developing such a definition, the Commission has wisely chosen to look for inspiration from the experiences with transitional justice of other countries such as South Africa and Morocco. 29. On 4 August 2015, two months before the start of the official election campaign and prior to the consolidation of a definitive list of victims, the President decided to commence the compensation process for 4,500 people who fall into one of two categories: people who lost relatives and people who have per sonally suffered harm and are in need of treatment and follow-up care. People who have lost a loved one (3,500 persons) receive 1 million CFA francs (CFAF), while those in need of medical care (1,000 persons) will be provided with such care free of charge together with CFAF 150,000 to cover their transportation costs. 30. The objective of this and other operations of the sort is to show victims that the Government is committed to fulfilling its promises regarding redress. These initiatives need to be aligned, however, with the efforts of the National Commission on Reconciliation and Compensation for Victims to develop a definition of what constitutes a victim and of what constitutes redress and to determine how the latter is to be provided. In some quarters people are asking whether the CFAF 1 million payment to people who have lost a loved one is, given the severity of the harm suffered, an advance against a larger payment or if it is instead more of a symbolic sum to be paid in view of the large number of people to be compensated and the limited funds available. Arguments can be advanced to justify either one of these approaches. 31. In order to forestall arousing the kind of frustration that could undermine the national reconciliation process, a sustained effort to explain the reason for the chosen approach, along with its objectives and limitations, is called for. The authorities should lend a compassionate ear to victims concerning their expectations regarding the __________________ 1 10/23 The Dialogue, Truth and Reconciliation Commission interviewed 72,483 persons, of whom 28,064 were women and 757 were children, but other departments, such as the Ministry of Solidarity, the Family, and Women’s and Children’s Affairs and the Ministry of Health, have lists of their own.
