A/HRC/26/53 the feeling of insecurity experienced by the population, especially the Muslim community, is such that it is of the utmost urgency to strengthen security, disarmament and demobilization measures, as well as to initiate a dialogue and reconciliation activities at the local and national levels. 45. The placement under judicial supervision of members of the anti-Balaka or prominent figures with close ties to them attests to the transitional Government’s determination to send a strong signal to those who wish to continue destabilizing the country. This shows that the perpetrators of the violations who are arrested are, for the most part, young people, not the real instigators of the violence, who may still be at large. Arresting those persons and bringing them to trial would demonstrate a genuine resolve to combat impunity and shed light on the crimes committed with a view to determining responsibility for them. In that context, the work of the International Commission of Inquiry, currently in the Central African Republic, would be of great value. 46. Re-establishing government authority over the entire country would make it possible to restore the confidence of the population groups who feel abandoned. It is important that the existing resources, even if they are inadequate, be used to deploy administrators and other public servants. 47. The Independent Expert has been repeatedly told of the transitional authorities’ determination to protect human rights and prevent violations of those rights, and their awareness of the weakness of the State and its administration. This presents an opportunity for dialogue and technical assistance, provided that the international community fulfils its pledge to provide the country with international civilian and military personnel in accordance with Security Council resolution 2149 (2014). The realization of the need for transitional justice also affords an opportunity for technical cooperation. The limits of the State’s capacity are recognized by the authorities themselves, and by all stakeholders; thus, if security and the authority of the State are to be restored, bolder and more rigorous interim measures will be required. The idea of the need for a Marshall Plan for the Central African Republic was again raised during the Independent Expert’s second visit. Economic recovery, the fight against impunity, the effectiveness of humanitarian assistance and the success of political processes, including elections and national reconciliation initiatives, are dependent on such interim measures and on the implementation of the relevant Security Council resolutions. 48. The nature of the crisis and the lack of resources have an impact on the effectiveness of local human rights defenders and on the authority of the State, which begins and ends in Bangui, the capital, where its presence is also limited. It is obvious that the country’s current human rights structures are inadequate to meet the enormous needs in the areas of deterrence, monitoring and capacity-building. Strengthening their presence and their deployment nationwide is therefore crucial. The Independent Expert welcomes the fact that MINUSCA has been given a human rights framework with sufficient human and financial resources to enable it to lend support to the national effort and contribute effectively to the protection and promotion of human rights in the Central African Republic. 49. On the basis of the information collected, the Independent Expect is able to conclude once again that the root causes of the current crisis have more to do with the structural problems that have beset the country for decades. Regional disparities and discrimination against certain population groups have bred discontent, causing the conflict to spread throughout the Central African Republic and creating the risk of regional contagion because of the country’s geostrategic situation. The problem has been compounded by recurrent failings of governance and the inability of one GE.14-03816 15
