A/HRC/26/33 concerns at the establishment of a coiled razor wire fence along the administrative boundary line of the Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia, which deprives displaced persons and displacement-affected communities of their freedom of movement and livelihoods on their lands. 2. Serbia and the authorities in Kosovo 6. Following up on the visit conducted by the previous mandate holder in 2009, the Special Rapporteur undertook a visit to Serbia and the authorities in Kosovo, at the invitation of the Government, from 9 to 12 October 2013. The Special Rapporteur visited Belgrade and Pristina, as well as various sites of displacement. 7. The Special Rapporteur strongly recommends that both the Government of Serbia and the authorities in Kosovo, in the context of the European Union accession framework, cooperate to work towards the implementation of durable solutions for internally displaced persons. He commends the Government of Serbia and the authorities in Kosovo for considering local integration as a durable solution option, together with other durable solutions, where possible. He stresses that the key to attaining durable solutions in Serbia and Kosovo lies in providing durable housing for all displaced persons on the model of the regional housing project for refugees, although such a project should be linked to livelihoods, particularly income-generating activities, employment, health, education, water and energy. While welcoming the greater openness to consider local integration as a durable solution, the Special Rapporteur noted that the most immediate need is to improve the livelihoods of displaced persons in their current locations and to provide them, particularly displaced Roma, with adequate services. 8. The Special Rapporteur stressed the need to address other key issues, including the effective resolution of property disputes, including recovery, where possible, of property in places of origin, and effective compensation where property cannot be recovered. 3. South Sudan 9. From 6 to 15 November 2013, the Special Rapporteur undertook a visit to South Sudan at the invitation of the Government. During his mission, the Special Rapporteur visited Juba, Bor and Pibor in Jonglei. 10. Recalling the Government’s primary responsibility to assist and protect all internally displaced persons in an equal manner, the Special Rapporteur further emphasized that humanitarian action, constitutional inclusion, development and peacebuilding measures were the cornerstones of durable solutions for displaced persons and returnees. He stressed that civilians, including internally displaced persons, should be spared from violence and abuse by all parties. He called for capacities to be further strengthened and the response to displaced persons should be demilitarized. 11. Following his visit, a new cycle of violence broke out on 15 December 2013 in Juba and quickly spread to other locations in South Sudan. In two press statements issued on 20 December 2013 and 31 January 2014, the Special Rapporteur expressed concern at what had emerged primarily as a political crisis and then evolved into an increasingly ethnically charged conflict across South Sudan, leading to large-scale internal displacement in the compounds of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). The congested conditions inside UNMISS compounds where internally displaced persons have taken shelter has started to create risks for them. The Special Rapporteur, while recommending the decongestion of the said sites, stresses that this should not be a quick, stand-alone measure in the ongoing crisis, but must be embedded in a long-term comprehensive strategy on internal displacement. The dimensions and complexities of internal displacement require a 4
