A/HRC/31/30 educational systems be created, including for children with disabilities.28 The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, in a statement on the situation of women in Gaza, in July 2014, expressed concern at the number of women and girls, including those with disabilities, facing forced displacement, with little or no access to social services, and at women with disabilities either left behind in camps or in reconstruction contexts who were subjected to gender-based and sexual violence.29 It has requested States to pay particular attention to the needs of internally displaced women, including women with disabilities.30 17. In its conclusion No. 110 (LXI) of 12 October 2010, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) recalled the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to underscore the principles of dignity and equality, nondiscrimination, and respect for the rights and participation of refugees and others with disabilities protected and assisted by UNHCR. It encourages States parties to ensure adequate protection for refugee women and children with disabilities and to facilitate access to mainstream and specialized services, including those provided through international cooperation. Furthermore, according to the principles on housing and property restitution for refugees and displaced persons,31 persons with disabilities are entitled to have restored to them any housing, land and/or property of which they were arbitrarily deprived, or failing that, to be compensated. 18. Recent developments show an increasing awareness of persons with disabilities in emergency situations. The African Union Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa (Kampala Convention) requires States parties to respect and protect the human rights of internally displaced persons, including the rights to non-discrimination, equality and equal protection of the law (art. 1 (d)) and, in particular, to provide persons with disabilities with special protection and assistance (art. 9.2 (c)). In its resolution CD/13/R9 on the inclusion of persons with disabilities, the Council of Delegates of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, recalling the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, urged all components of the Movement to work with Governments to help to implement relevant instruments of international law to support the rights of persons with disabilities, and to address discrimination, change perceptions and combat stereotypes and prejudice. 19. In June 2014, States parties to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction adopted the Maputo Action Plan 2014-2019, under which they committed to integrate those with disabilities into the broader legal frameworks related to the rights of persons with disabilities, reflecting thus a more updated understanding of the issue. The preamble to the Convention on Cluster Munitions refers directly to the importance of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, recognizing the principle of non-discrimination against and among persons with disabilities. The Convention also requires States parties to develop and implement plans and budgets for including persons with disabilities considered in the treaty in existing national disability, development and human-rights frameworks and mechanisms (art. 5.2 (c) and (e)). The Dubrovnik Action Plan reinforces this obligation. These two treaties specifically regard as protected groups those who acquired their impairment through the explosion of land mines and cluster munitions. The obligations stemming from the treaties on monitoring the situation of these particular groups should not 28 29 30 31 CRC/C/AFG/CO/1, para. 61 (a). See CEDAW/C/UGA/CO/7, para. 25.
