Paragraph text
Under paragraph 16 (d) of Human Rights Council resolution 32/11, the mandate holder is tasked with giving special consideration to the human rights of internally displaced women and children, and of other groups with special needs, such as older persons, persons with disabilities and severely traumatized individuals, and to their particular assistance, protection and development needs. The Special Rapporteur will therefore dedicate a thematic report to the needs and protection issues facing internally displaced children, with a view to bringing renewed attention to their plight and in order to seek innovative approaches, concrete actions, and new commitments to their protection in displacement-affected countries.
