A/HRC/27/57 to walk long distances to reach water. In addition, it is often difficult to provide access to a water supply that meets international standards for hygiene and clean water. Women’s particular requirements have to be considered in the emergency response. 90. A key issue is that reconstruction efforts are too often neglected. In fact, they are an essential part of recovery. 91. The main challenges in peacebuilding and transitional justice are inadequate funds and the lack of understanding among the international community that resilience of livelihoods is fundamental for peacebuilding. 92. Attention should be paid to preventing domestic violence and gender-based violence. Information and comprehensive assistance should be provided to support women and child survivors of violence both in the emergency areas and in those not affected by disasters or conflicts, for example in host communities. Special attention should also be paid to persons with disabilities, the LGBT community, the elderly and indigenous peoples, taking into account a cultural approach. 93. It is important to avoid political favouritism in order to guarantee relief for all concerned, not just for political supporters, for example. Governments should not use humanitarian disasters for political purposes and opposition parties should not use the needs created by emergency situations to criticize those in power in order to curry favour with the public. 94. Other challenges identified in the responses to the questionnaires include: (a) situations; Lack of a specific regulatory framework on human rights in disaster (b) Lack of adequate internalization of the obligations and rights regarding the promotion and protection of human rights in situations of disaster, which is essential for their proper implementation; (c) Lack of decentralization of policies on disaster prevention. VII. Main conclusion 95. Rescue, relief and rehabilitation action can be related to human rights advocacy, but that does not happen automatically. A human rights-based approach includes the following principles: direct and intentional linkage to human rights; transparency; participation and consultation of those affected and of beneficiaries; non-discrimination; special attention given to the needs of vulnerable and marginalized subgroups within the larger set of beneficiaries; and accountability.
