A/HRC/13/47 89. The Special Rapporteur invites the international community: (a) To emphasize the need for an integrated approach that includes the prevention of violations, effective protection of human rights, provision of care and assistance in an accessible and accountable manner, participation of the people in the enjoyment of their rights and freedoms and ensuring the country’s development path in a democratic setting; (b) To advocate strongly for the responsibility of the authorities to protect the people of the country, taking on that responsibility should the national authorities fail to do so, and to call for a “people first” rather than the current “military first” policy, complemented by an equitable development process, food aid and food security, with due respect for the principle of “no access, no food”, coupled with adequate monitoring; (c) To respect the rights of refugees, particularly the principle of nonrefoulement, and the human rights of migrants, and to mitigate the strictures of national immigration laws that might otherwise lead to the detention or forced return of refugees or asylum-seekers; (d) To maximize dialogue with the Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to promote dispute resolution and to enlarge the space for human rights discourse and action, offering relevant incentives and graduated measures, possibly linked with security guarantees, as appropriate; (e) To address impunity from different viewpoints, whether in terms of State responsibility and/or individual criminal responsibility, and to enable the totality of the United Nations system, especially the Security Council, and its affiliates, such as the International Criminal Court, to take measures to prevent egregious violations, protect people from victimization and provide effective redress. 22 GE.10-10793
