A/HRC/23/15 25. There were problems concerning human rights in the territory of the southern Serbian Province of Kosovo and Metohija, administered by the United Nations since June 1999 under Security Council resolution 1244 (1999). Serbia had been unable to implement international treaties in the field of human rights protection in that part of its territory. 26. Internally displaced persons (IDPs) forced to leave their homes in Kosovo and Metohija could not sustainably return in line with the criteria recommended in the Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons. Even 12 years later, IDPs had no access to their property or effective protection of their ownership rights before local courts, which were prerequisites for sustainable return. Returnee communities lacked access to basic services, an education system and employment, which made return, already negligible, unsustainable. 27. Between 2008, when the Law on Asylum entered into force, and 2012, the number of asylum seekers had increased from 77 to 2,732. They were given lodging, clothing, free legal aid, psychosocial support, and interpretation services. Unaccompanied minors seeking asylum were given special care and appointed a guardian by a competent social centre. A new criminal offence had been introduced: “enabling the abuse of the enjoyment of the right of asylum in foreign State” in order to reduce the number of fake asylum seekers. 28. The Strategy for the Reintegration of Returnees under Readmission Agreements (2009) set as priorities: personal identity documents, accommodation issues, job opportunities and access to health care, education, social care and family legal protection.

Recommendations made during the dialogue are to be found in section II of the present report. 30. Guatemala noted recent progress including the adoption of the Law on the Ombudsman.

Indonesia welcomed the progress made by the post-conflict country. It noted the measures developed by the Government to fulfil its commitment to its human rights obligations.

Iraq welcomed the adoption of legislation and policies aimed at prohibiting discrimination, promoting gender equality and integrating all members of Serbian society, as well as the adoption of legislation to consolidate related mechanisms. It asked what activities had been carried out by the police forces to promote the respect of human rights. Iraq made a recommendation. 34. Ireland urged Serbia to ensure full implementation of the Criminal Code and the legal protection of all human rights defenders.
