A/HRC/18/49 J. Action by the international community, Israel and Palestinian authorities 81. In paragraph 1977 (a) of its report, the Mission recommended that Israel and representatives of the Palestinian people, and international actors involved in the peace process, should involve Israeli and Palestinian civil society in devising sustainable peace agreements based on respect for international law. The participation of women should be ensured in accordance with Security Council resolution 1325 (2000). 82. As stated in A/HRC/13/55, paragraph 93, there are ongoing efforts to involve Israeli and Palestinian civil society groups in the peace process, including those led by United Nations bodies. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) supports a network of 20 non-governmental organizations in Gaza that seek to combat violence against women, promote women’s protection, emphasize women’s issues and mainstream Security Council resolution 1325 (2000). 83. In paragraph 1977 (b) of its report, the Mission recommended that attention should be given to the position of women and steps be taken to ensure their access to compensation, legal assistance and economic security. 84. In its submission to OHCHR, UNRWA reports that it continues to provide women whose homes were damaged or demolished during Operation Cast Lead with cash assistance and rental fees. Cash subsidies have been disbursed to enable female-headed households who had their shelters damaged to pay for minor and major repairs. In cases where shelters have been destroyed completely, UNRWA continues to pay one-year rental fees. Women continue to account for approximately one third of employees under the UNRWA Job Creation Programme. Since Operation Cast Lead, a number of Gaza Women Programme Centres supported by UNRWA have offered psychosocial and legal support to women. 85. In its submission to OHCHR, UNFPA reports that it has, in partnership with two non-governmental organizations, supported centres for women in the Jabalia and Bureij areas. These centres provide a package of services, including reproductive health care such as family planning, antenatal and postnatal care, and psychosocial, legal and recreational services. K. Action by the Secretary-General 86. In paragraph 1978 of its report, the Mission recommended that the SecretaryGeneral should develop a policy to integrate human rights into peace initiatives in which the United Nations is involved, especially the Quartet, and request the High Commissioner for Human Rights to provide expertise required to implement that recommendation. 87. As stated in his previous progress report (A/HRC/15/51, para. 85), the SecretaryGeneral has asked OHCHR, in cooperation with the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, to devise proposals to ensure increased integration of human rights into the Middle East peace process. OHCHR has developed proposals in response to that request. It is envisaged that consultations with the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process regarding these proposals will be initiated and concluded in the coming months. 17
