A/70/334 1. Working group or task force on durable solutions 75. National authorities should establish effective and accountable mechanisms, such as a working group or task force, with responsibility for overseeing and supporting programmes for durable solutions. These mechanisms should be composed of different groups of internally displaced persons, line ministries and relevant governmental and international technical agencies, such as development actors, and representatives of the international community as well as local authorities. They should be responsible for developing and implementing legal and policy frameworks and strategies in support of durable solutions and should monitor the extent to which the solution chosen by internally displaced persons, i.e. return, local integration or resettlement elsewhere, has been achieved. 76. During his country visit to Serbia, including Kosovo, the Special Rapporteur recommended that the Government establish a governmental protection working group to implement durable solutions, which should include the Commissariat for Refugees and Migration, the Office for Human and Minority Rights, relevant government line ministries, bilateral and multilateral partners and representatives of internally displaced persons (A/HRC/26/33/Add.2). He notes that the protection working group still has not yet been established and therefore reiterates his recommendation to the Government. 2. Sectoral structures 77. The Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework sets out eight benchmarks to help determine the extent to which a durable solution has been achieved. Working groups or task forces on durable solutions should use these criteria to monitor progress towards achieving durable solutions. The benchmarks are the following: safety and security; adequate standard of living; employment and livelihoods; restoration of housing, land and property; access to documentation; family reunification; participation in public affairs; and effective remedies, including access to justice. 78. While specific mechanisms in support of durable solutions would lead on the matter, the Special Rapporteur notes that a number of other structures with sectoral responsibilities, such as mechanisms focusing on housing, land and property restitution or reconciliation mechanisms, can contribute to support the search for durable solutions and can help the working groups or task forces in their work. Where possible, structures to support durable solutions should avoid duplication with pre-existing structures and durable solutions should be mainstreamed into other structures. The Special Rapporteur analyses below some structures with respect to the eight benchmarks set out in the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework. 79. A durable solution cannot be said to have been achieve d if internally displaced persons cannot enjoy physical safety and security and cannot benefit from the effective protection of national and local authorities, including protection from the threats that triggered the initial displacement or that may cause renewed displacement. It is essential that national and local authorities pay specific attention to the protection of internally displaced persons, maintain monitoring mechanisms to ensure that internally displaced persons are not victims of further violat ions in their place of return, local integration or resettlement and ensure accountability by receiving complaints and addressing them. The specific protection needs of internally displaced women and girls should be given dedicated attention and it may 20/26 15-12504
