A/HRC/8/6 page 18 69. In 2007, the Committee adopted the conceptual framework on durable solutions for displaced persons devised by the Representative following an extensive consultation process. This conceptual framework provides criteria for determining when and in what circumstances displaced persons no longer need to be so classified, or to be considered as requiring special assistance and protection. These criteria relate to the material conditions which need to be met in order to speak of durable solutions (such as security, non-discrimination, return of property, access to basic services), as well as the process leading to such solutions (mechanisms for consultation with the affected population, access to objective information on conditions in the new place of residence, etc.). Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees 70. The Representative continues his close cooperation with UNHCR, which includes the presence of a colleague in UNHCR offices. He thanks UNHCR for the support it has provided in mounting and conducting field missions, and welcomes the dialogue which has been instituted with officials following his missions. 71. In June 2007, the Representative together with UNHCR and the Brookings-Bern project organized a brainstorming workshop on protracted displacement situations with a view to identifying the measures needed to improve the assistance and protection offered to displaced persons in such situations, with an emphasis on durable solutions. A report on the meeting was prepared, which included recommendations for the future relating to advocacy, reform of the humanitarian sector and institutional cooperation, in the context of operational development and research.

The Representative, who is convinced that the search for solutions to the problems of displacement and the prevention of displacement are inextricably linked to the search for durable peace, considers that the Peacebuilding Commission should systematically examine the issues of internal displacement, in particular those related to the return and reintegration of displaced persons in the countries with which it is working. 74. Armed with this conclusion, the Representative was invited to address the Commission on 2 May 2007, together with the High Commissioner for Refugees. In his address, the Representative stressed that the search for durable solutions for displaced persons would boost the sustainability of efforts to build peace. Consequently, the search for such solutions should be
