A/HRC/25/21 underpin the political dialogue aimed at achieving a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem. Ensuring adequate women’s participation and the consideration of gender-related issues in these discussions is vital. 62. In 2013, various United Nations treaty bodies and special procedures voiced their concern at factors and difficulties impeding the implementation of international human rights standards on the whole island. On a positive note, however, in September 2013, the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief took part in the first interreligious round table discussion ever held in Cyprus, and subsequently hailed a key breakthrough for religious freedom on the island. 63. Following the first official visit by a special procedures mandate holder to Cyprus in 2012, further visits to the whole island with access to all relevant authorities are encouraged, in particular by the Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights, the Independent Expert on minority issues, the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons, the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances and the Special Rapporteur on the right to education. It is imperative that OHCHR and other relevant actors have access to the whole island, relevant authorities and affected people. 64. Human rights do not have any borders and all stakeholders are thus obliged to uphold the fundamental freedoms and human rights of all people. It is vital that all human rights protection gaps and underlying human rights issues in situations of protracted conflicts be addressed. 17
