Recommendations A/HRC/33/51/Add.2 (g) Provide psychosocial assistance to the relatives in all the stages of the search; Measures taken/current situation Situation during the visit A/HRC/33/51/Ad d.2 Paragraph 6, 66 OMP The OMP has an explicit mandate to provide or facilitate administrative or welfare services and when required, psychosocial support to relatives of missing and disappeared persons.66 The OMP is currently developing a psychosocial responsiveness strategy and recruiting staff for its implementation. The strategy is framed by the following principles: non pathologizing of the grief and suffering of families; extending non-discriminatory positive regard to families; not forcing closure on the grief of not knowing the fate of a disappeared loved one; strengthening resilience of families; strengthening community support circles; embedding respect and psychosocial sensitivities into all systems, functions and interactions with families. The OMP is seeking to operationalise its strategy by a) strengthening the internal capacity of the OMP to effectively recognise and respond to psychosocial concerns of families and safeguard staff well-being; b) through direct responses and referrals, facilitate focused therapeutic and other psychosocial care to members of families of the missing and disappeared persons whose wellbeing is critically affected; and c) enable wider policy and social environment to recognise the challenges of living with uncertainties around missing and disappeared loved ones. Level of implementation and observations (to be completed by the WGEID) The Working Group welcomes information from the OMP that it has an explicit mandate to provide or facilitate psychosocial assistance and is developing a strategy in this regard. It also notes information indicating that civil society is not aware of these plans and encourages further outreach. It further encourages swift operationalisation of the planned assistance and to ensure it is confidential and provided in line with best practices. CPPHR Tirnco OMP has not done this yet.
