A/HRC/28/76 and combating widespread economic exploitation of children; and strengthening institutional capacities in the protection and promotion of human rights in post-conflict situations through the incorporation of a human rights-based approach into all policies and practices. 48. In its resolution 1325 (2000) on women, peace and security, the Security Council reaffirmed the important role of women in the prevention and resolution of conflicts, peace negotiations, peacebuilding, peacekeeping, humanitarian response and in post-conflict reconstruction, and stressed the importance of their equal participation and full involvement in all efforts for maintenance and promotion of peace and security. It urged all actors to increase participation of women and incorporate gender perspectives in all United Nations peace and security efforts. It also called upon all parties to the conflict to take special measures to protect women and girls from gender-based violence, particularly rape and other forms of sexual abuse, in situations of armed conflict. It provided a number of important operational mandates, with implications for Member States and United Nations entities. 49. Similarly, article 11 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities not only enshrines obligations to ensure protection and safety of persons with disabilities in situations of armed conflict and humanitarian emergencies, but also requires an inclusive approach for the design of disaster risk reduction policies accessible to persons with disabilities. 50. In recent years, attention has been drawn in particular to humanitarian aid and assistance owing to emergencies provoked by armed conflicts and disasters around the world, leading to the development of a specialized framework and mechanisms, including: (a) Humanitarian policies, agreements, guidelines, documents and tools of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee39 for humanitarian assistance, such as the Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response, the Guidelines on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings, the Gender Handbook in Humanitarian Action, the Operational Guidelines on Human Rights and Natural Disasters and the Guidelines on Gender-Based Violence Interventions; (b) The Sphere Project, a voluntary initiative that brings together a wide range of humanitarian agencies around the common aim of improving the quality of humanitarian assistance and accountability of humanitarian actors to their constituents, donors and affected populations. Established in 1997, it is today a vibrant community of humanitarian response practitioners. 51. Other important humanitarian mechanisms include: (a) The Humanitarian Accountability Partnership, which has established concrete norms, training, code of conduct, protection of sexual exploitation and abuse 40 guidance and certification; (b) The Hyogo Framework for Action 2005–2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters; (c) The Global Humanitarian Platform, established to bring together United Nations and non-United Nations humanitarian organizations to explore ways of exploring humanitarian partnerships; 39 40 14 Established pursuant General Assembly resolution 46/182.
