A/HRC/4/38 page 8 Georgia 22. At the invitation of the Government of Georgia, the Representative undertook an official mission to Georgia from 21 to 24 December 2005, the main conclusions and recommendations of which have been submitted to the Commission on Human Rights in March 2006 (see E/CN.4/2006/71/Add.7). During his visit, he met with relevant government ministers, local authorities and representatives of de facto authorities of Abkhazia in Sukhumi and of the Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia, as well as with IDPs living in collective centres and in areas of return. 23. The Representative welcomed the fact that, following his mission to Georgia in December 2005, a State Commission, created by the Prime Minister by decree No. 80 of 23 February 2006 and chaired by the Minister of Refugees and Accommodation, developed a new national strategy on internal displacement in consultation with civil society, IDP associations and the international community. 24. The Representative undertook a visit to Tbilisi from 14 to 16 December 2006 in order to participate in the presentation by the Government of the draft Strategy. The Representative welcomed the fact that the Strategy was based on international human rights standards and on the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, and particularly that it incorporates the principle that allowing and assisting IDPs to integrate into society and respecting their right to return to their homes and communities are not mutually exclusive options, but rather reinforce each other. He urged the political leadership of Georgia to finalize the adoption of the Strategy and to proceed to its implementation through a concrete action plan as a matter of priority. The Representative cautioned that during the reform process, State assistance for displaced persons in need should be maintained and that the creation of new gaps in public services and support should be avoided. He underlined the importance of continuing with the broad-based involvement of all relevant government agencies, civil society, IDPs themselves, and international agencies working on behalf of the internally displaced in Georgia and the need for strong donor support. C. Other follow-up to missions Nepal 25. In October 2006, the Representative sent a letter to the Transitional Government of Nepal and to the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (CPN (M)) in which he outlined items for consideration which in his opinion needed to be included in the peace negotiations in order to ensure that the human rights of IDPs were taken into account. Amongst others, he reminded the parties of the free choice of IDPs to decide where they want to settle or whether they want to return and pointed out the responsibility of CPN (M) to guarantee the security of the returnees, the need to ensure that all IDPs could vote and the need for close consultations with them as to what their options are. 26. The Representative welcomes the ensuing Comprehensive Peace Agreement, which (a) ensures the right of the families to know who was disappeared; (b) sets up a National Peace and Rehabilitation Commission to implement relief and rehabilitation measures for the internally displaced and a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate serious violations of
