A/HRC/4/38 page 16 56. The Representative is following with interest the development of new initiatives in other Asian countries, for example, in Timor Leste, where the Provedor’s Office has translated the Guiding Principles into Tetum and developed a media strategy to raise awareness of the situation of IDPs in that country. At a training workshop and consultation on internal displacement in South Asia organized by Forum Asia in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in July 2006, participants called upon NHRIs of the region to implement and operationalize the recommendations of a previous regional workshop (Colombo, 2005) and particularly to implement the Guidelines on Internally Displaced Persons in the Context of Natural Disasters: a Common Methodology for National Human Rights Institutions.3 57. In Africa, the Representative also notes that annual conferences of NHRIs have highlighted internal displacement as an issue of concern in the region. The Second African Union Conference of African National Human Rights Institutions, held in Banjul from 12 to 14 May 2006 considered internal displacement and the need for NHRIs to strengthen their role in addressing the rights of IDPs. 58. Finally, from 24 to 26 October 2006, the Eighth International Conference of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights was held in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, on the topic of migration. Internal displacement was the topic of one of five working groups. The Representative takes note of the adoption during the Conference of the Santa Cruz Declaration in which the Conference welcomes the Guiding Principles and calls on NHRIs to encourage their governments to develop legal and policy frameworks on internal displacement. F. Partnership with civil society organizations 59. The Representative, in cooperation with the Brookings-Bern Project on Internal Displacement has worked extensively with civil society partners to enhance the protection of the human rights of IDPs worldwide. Several projects have been developed including a series of workshops which have resulted in the development, translation and dissemination of toolkits on the Guiding Principles in South Asia; an IDP newsletter and a training and consultation workshop in Sri Lanka; studies on the development of national jurisprudence and a workshop on urban displacement in Colombia; legal clinics and monitoring missions in Southern Sudan; and a publication on internal displacement in Turkey. III. MAINSTREAMING THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS IN ALL RELEVANT PARTS OF THE UNITED NATIONS SYSTEM 60. The Commission on Human Rights, in paragraph 23 of its resolution 2005/46, requests the Representative to “address the complex problem of internal displacement, in particular by mainstreaming human rights of internally displaced into all relevant parts of the United Nations system”. In line with this, the Representative continued to engage in dialogue with relevant partners within the United Nations system. In addition, the Representative has expanded his mainstreaming activities through efforts to systematically engage with the expanded United Nations country team and, where relevant, with United Nations missions when visiting a country.
