A/HRC/5/9 page 18 43. UNEP was able to observe unexploded ammunitions or parts of most of the weapon system that UNMACC and Mine Action Group experts reported as having been used during the conflict. The team studied hundreds of objects and pictures and remained in close contact with Mine Action Group and the Lebanese Army explosive ordnance disposal experts. All the remnants of weapons found during the period of the assessment were identified as weapons of well-known design. UNEP cannot confirm the use of unconventional weapons by IDF during the 2006 conflict. 44. The United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) conducted research for the Inter-Agency Working Group on Cluster Munitions, which looked at the humanitarian and development impact of cluster munitions on civilians and included field studies in Albania, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and Lebanon. These studies, reports UNIDIR, present a picture of the short- and long-term humanitarian and socio-economic impact of the use of cluster munitions. The case studies provide additional evidence from the field that stronger action needs to be taken to reduce the effects of these munitions on the lives and livelihoods of civilians. UNIDIR is currently carrying out further research on the humanitarian impact of cluster munitions that will lead to a report to be published in the summer of 2007 and presented to delegates of States parties to the CCW. C. Information on the use of cluster munitions 45. The United Nations, in particular UNMAS and United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), continues to request full and detailed information on the use of cluster munitions and all coordinates of cluster munitions launched in Lebanon through all available channels. The Secretary-General has reiterated the call for Israel to provide the United Nations with the cluster-munitions fire-plan data on several occasions, including in all his reports to the Security Council on the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) (see S/2007/147 of 14 March 2007). UNMAS also reports having contacted diplomats in the Israeli Mission to the United Nations Office at Geneva for the information. At the field level, MACC-SL representatives meet with IDF regularly, through mechanisms established by UNIFIL, and continues to try to have the information released. V. REDRESS FOR VIOLATIONS OF HUMANITARIAN AND HUMAN RIGHTS LAW A. Promotion of legal means for victims 46. Families and communities need legal advice and support in a number of matters resulting from or linked to the conflict. UNHCR indicates that access to Legal Aid for Lebanese citizens and other forms of assistance will be provided in 2007 through a joint project of UNHCR, the Lebanese Bar Association, the Norwegian Refugee Council, the Lebanese Council to Resist Violence Against Women (LECORVAW) and Kafa, and UNFPA. The project will provide funding for legal aid clinics, information and legal aid centres, support to pro bono work of the Bar Association and publications of guides about relevant law and alternative dispute resolution systems. Shortly after the war, OHCHR provided technical guidance to NGOs, journalists and the Bar Association on methodology for documenting human rights violations.
