A/HRC/8/10 page 26 141. The principal challenge that the responding organizations encounter is that education is not fully integrated in humanitarian assistance. Among the best practices, mention may be made of the schools which operate as “Peace zones” in Nepal51 and the programmes for safe access to school put into place by Visión Mundial Internacional. 142. It was also suggested that a greater level of awareness needed to be created, both of the importance of education in emergencies and of the possibilities for guaranteeing it. The organizations also proposed that the INEE Minimum Standards should be utilized effectively, and stressed the importance of supporting the Special Rapporteur. 143. The Special Rapporteur endorses the proposal made by the International Save the Children Alliance, to the effect that two mechanisms should be created to guarantee the implementation of the right to education in emergencies: firstly a standing committee to take charge of emergency situations and secondly a process of monitoring within the framework of the universal periodic review process of the Human Rights Council. VIII. RECOMMENDATIONS A. General recommendations 144. The Special Rapporteur urges the international community to commit more wholeheartedly to the implementation of the right to education in emergencies and recommends as a first step that this right should be recognized by States, donors, multilateral agencies and organizations as an integral part of the humanitarian response to conflicts and natural disasters. 145. He also recommends the following measures to guarantee the immediate priority of this right: (a) Greater emphasis should be placed on guaranteeing the right to education during emergency situations, whereas currently attention is focused on post-conflict situations; (b) More action should be taken to put an end to impunity for persons and armed groups, including regular armies, who attack schools, students and teachers; (c) There is need for further research into the effectiveness of some of the measures prompted by the increase in violence against schools, teachers and students, such as armed responses in defence of communities and the promotion of resistance; (d) The Special Rapporteur acknowledges with satisfaction the increased interest in the allocation and effectiveness of assistance in emergency situations. However, he believes that greater attention should be paid to assigning more resources, specifically to fragile States; 51 En una iniciativa del UNICEF.
