A/HRC/10/59 page 28 Displacement (E/CN.4/1998/53/Add.2) into its domestic law. As a first step the Government, with expert technical advice, should develop a legislative framework, a strategy and a plan of action for the implementation of these obligations. Meanwhile, the donor community should begin prioritizing support to vulnerable host communities in areas of refuge as well as early recovery activities in return areas. 108. There is a risk that internally displaced persons cannot exercise their right to vote and be elected if the local elections planned for 2009 would take place before they can return. The National Election Commission, in cooperation with MONUC and other partners, should ensure registration of the displaced as voters and be supported to find ways to ensure (e.g. through provisions on absentee voting) that the displaced can in fact exercise their political rights. 109. In addition, and also to build a more inclusive society generally, the Government should launch a campaign in the eastern DRC to provide national identification and electoral cards to anyone qualifying for DRC nationality under the new nationality law of 12 November 2004. Implementation should be guided by a rebuttable presumption that those who currently live or prior to the armed conflict have lived in the DRC are considered nationals of the DRC. Solving the problem of nationality of Kinyarwanda-speaking Congolese would enhance their sense of belonging, their participation in social life and contribute to reverse the widespread prejudice that this group is composed of “foreigners”. 110. These initiatives should be complemented by local conflict resolution and ethnic reconciliation initiatives involving all sectors of society including women, returnees as well as IDPs and refugees awaiting their return. 7. Providing access to health care, especially for marginalized groups 111. In line with its human rights obligations, the Government has to make efforts to progressively re-establish a functioning and accessible health system in the country, while ensuring minimum standards right away. It should prioritize immediate action to ensure that displaced populations have access to medical services, safe water and sanitation in order to avert the growing public health crisis. The specific health needs, especially those of particularly vulnerable groups, like women and children, need to be identified to ensure provision of adequate medical care and prevention of further health problems. In particular, urgent steps must be taken to ensure that fees do not become an obstacle for poor and vulnerable populations to access essential health care as such fees often are a key reason why persons with illnesses that could easily be treated die. The immediate abolishment of fees for forensic medical certificates for victims of sexual and gender-based violence should be a first step. The seven thematic special procedures call upon the donor community to continue supporting the national health system as a priority, in particular its support for groups in a vulnerable situation. In areas of crisis, relevant agencies should focus on improving coordination mechanisms to ensure adequate and prioritized response to the health crisis.
