A/HRC/2/7 page 40 135 See paras. 61, 75, 77 and 89. 136 Relevant health-related programming should be informed by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Guidance on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings (the fourth working draft is due to be finalized in late 2006). Also see the key interventions in the section of the Sphere Project Handbook on mental and social aspects of health, and Mental Health and Psychological Protection and Support for Adults and Children Affected by the Middle East Crisis: Inter-Agency Technical Advice for the Current Emergency, 9 August 2006. Programmes should be community-based, respectful of different cultures, and integrated, i.e. they should not focus on a single diagnosis, such as post-traumatic stress disorder. The human rights elements of such programming are explored in the report of the Special Rapporteur on the right to the highest attainable standard of health (E/CN.4/2005/5). 137 While legitimate intelligence and security concerns might provide some limits, these cannot justify a refusal to cooperate with such an essential inquiry.
