A/HRC/16/43 it includes protection and assistance, as well as longer-term solutions for the estimated 30,000 internally displaced families presently living in that region. 43. The Representative stressed the importance of resuming the registration of IDPs (stopped in February 2009) throughout Iraq – which will facilitate the urgently needed social assistance to the most vulnerable IDPs and also the identification and implementation of durable solutions for the different groups of IDPs. In the immediate, he also called on competent authorities to take urgent measures to improve basic living conditions and access to essential services, as well as to renew a moratorium on evictions from informal settlements until a strategy is developed which provides viable long-term solutions and housing alternatives in line with international standards become possible for these persons. 44. The Representative underlined that finding durable solutions to internal displacement in the country is an essential part of peace-building in Iraq, and that such a process should be inclusive of and include consultations with all communities affected by displacement. In order to be successful, a durable solutions strategy must also consider and provide for the full range of durable solutions including return, local integration or settlement in a different location. He cautioned that regional and federal authorities must remain vigilant and ensure that the human rights of internally displaced persons are not adversely affected by a number of political or economic factors or by activities which must remain non-political such as the upcoming national census exercise. He further called on the Government of Iraq and the international community to provide sufficient resources to address the human rights and social challenges created by the various waves of displacement in the country, and to include displacement issues in all relevant development plans and programs, including in particular the next National Development Plan. Kenya 45. From January to March 2010, the Representative supported the development of a draft national policy on internal displacement in Kenya by providing technical support to the Government-led Protection Working Group on Internal Displacement, under whose auspices the policy was developed. The Representative was impressed by the variety of different actors actively participating in the process, including representatives from the IDP community, and commends the Government of Kenya for its efforts to incorporate the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement (Guiding Principles) (E/CN.4/1998/53/Add.2) into its domestic legislation and for striving to meet its obligations under the 2006 Protocol on the Protection and Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons (Great Lakes Protocol). He further encourages the Government of Kenya to adopt the draft policy and begin the process of its implementation. Somalia 46. The Representative followed up on his visit to Somalia last year (14-21 October 2009) by participating in meetings of the United Nations Somalia operation, held in Nairobi in March 2010. At the time the humanitarian space in south and central Somalia had shrunk to an extent to which the World Food Programme had to suspend its operations. Severe constraints on humanitarian access and security risks for humanitarian workers remained a major challenge for operations in Somalia. The Representative urges the international community to focus its efforts and attention on this very serious long-standing humanitarian crisis. Yemen 47. The Representative’s visit to Yemen from 4 to 10 April 2010 came at a time of transition from armed hostilities to a fragile ceasefire agreement.
