A/HRC/15/58 the humanitarian assistance they require, including food, potable water, shelter, health care and psychosocial services. 41. The recruitment of children by the armed forces or armed groups and internal displacement are closely linked. Evidence suggests that refugee and IDP camps are often prime recruiting grounds for child soldiers, owing to the convenient concentration of vulnerable children. The lack of security around some camps increases the likelihood of child recruitment. Internally displaced children are also at increased risk of suffering from rape and other forms of sexual violence in the camps, or during flight, as they are preyed upon by soldiers, armed groups, traffickers, border guards and other opportunists. Governments are obligated to not only criminalize such acts but to hold those who perpetrate these violations accountable. Safe locations for camps and settlements in order to prevent incursions of armed groups and protect internally displaced children from sexual violence should be prioritized. And finally, measures to alleviate the social and economic factors that cause displacement in the first place, and that subsequently render children more vulnerable to recruitment, such as trafficking, forced labour and sexual and genderbased violence, should be given serious consideration. 42. In situations of internal displacement, the freedom of movement of the affected population, including their right to move freely in and out of camps and settlements should be respected. For children, it entails the right to move freely with their family. Few threats to a child’s well-being equal that of being separated from his or her family during conflict, and for these children all possible action should be taken to prevent separation from their families and to ensure rapid reunification in the case of separation. To this end, displaced children, in particular separated and unaccompanied minors, should have their own identity documentation in order to enjoy their full legal rights and to have access to basic social services, such as health care and education. 43. Ultimately, displacement should be a temporary condition and a durable solution should be secured where all those who were internally displaced no longer have any specific protection and assistance needs linked to their displacement and can enjoy their human rights without discrimination. States have a responsibility to create the conditions for a durable solution to displacement, either through voluntary return, integration or resettlement. The best interests of a child – determined through participatory, ageappropriate and gender-competent assessments – should always be the primary consideration when seeking a durable solution. VII. Field visits by the Special Representative of the SecretaryGeneral for Children and Armed Conflict – bringing highlevel visibility to the situation and rights of children affected by armed conflict 44. During the period under review, the Special Representative carried out field missions to Sudan (November 2009), Nepal (December 2009), Afghanistan (February 2010) and Uganda (May-June 2010) in the context of Security Council resolutions 1612 (2005) and 1882 (2009) on children and armed conflict. This was her second trip to the Sudan, Afghanistan and Uganda. Special Envoy Patrick Cammaert visited Sri Lanka on behalf of the Special Representative in December 2009. The primary objectives of these visits are to assess first-hand the situation of children, facilitate the implementation of child protection commitments and foster more effective coordination among key stakeholders, following up the recommendations of the Secretary-General and the key provisions of Security Council resolutions 1612 and 1882. During these missions, the Special Representative systematically engaged with a wide range of actors, particularly the political 12
