A/HRC/19/54 training tool for situations relating to natural disasters. 5 Moreover, the Special Rapporteur dedicated his thematic report to the sixty-sixth session of the General Assembly (A/66/285) to climate change and internal displacement, in which he highlighted the dynamic and types of internal displacement triggered by the effects of climate change, and provided guidance on the application of the Guiding Principles to such situations. 5. The Guiding Principles have also either been integrated into or served as the key reference in the formulation of regional and domestic frameworks to address internal displacement. For example, in Kenya, the mandate contributed to the development of a draft IDP policy in 2010 which is based on the Guiding Principles, and is currently engaged in supporting the development of a draft IDP Bill. The Special Rapporteur is pleased to note that the Kampala Convention, the ratification of which he has actively been promoting, is also based on the Guiding Principles, and represents the first regional human rights instrument specific to IDPs. B. Trainings and other capacity-building initiatives 6. During the reporting period, the mandate contributed to training and capacitybuilding activities, including: the Seventh Annual Course on the Law of Internal Displacement in San Remo (7-12 June 2011), which provided training to 21 high-level Government officials working on internal displacement from 14 displacement-affected countries; the Regional Workshop on “Protecting and promoting rights in natural disasters in the Great Lakes Region and East Africa” and the “Forum on the African Union Convention on Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons” in Africa (1517 June 2011) in Kampala; and the Kenyan Capacity-Building Forum with the Parliamentary Select Committee on Internally Displaced Persons (23 May 2011), in Mombassa. 7. The Special Rapporteur also had the opportunity to participate in a number of other international conferences and events. In the context of his engagement on issues relating to climate-change-induced displacement, he participated in an Expert Roundtable on Climate Change and Displacement (22-25 February 2011) in Bellagio, Italy, and the Nansen Conference on Climate Change and Displacement in the 21st Century (6–7 June 2011) in Oslo. Additionally, he participated in: the Second Expert Seminar on Protracted Internal Displacement (19-20 January 2011) in Geneva; a live web seminar on the Kampala Convention at Harvard University (22 March 2011), in Boston; and a panel discussion on climate change and displacement at the Brookings Institution (7 October 2011) in Washington D.C. C. Mainstreaming activities 8. The Special Rapporteur considers the mainstreaming of the human rights of IDPs, including through his participation in the IASC and collaboration with other key United Nations agencies, to be a central aspect of his mandate, as contained in Council resolution 14/6. During the reporting period, the mandate holder and OHCHR staff supporting his mandate participated at all levels of the IASC (Principals, Working Group, Task Forces). The Special Rapporteur further engaged with the IASC by providing briefings on his country visits and thematic issues, both in New York and in Geneva, in the context of the 5 4 For translations of the Operational Guidelines, see: http://www.brookings.edu/reports/2011/0106_operational_guidelines_nd.aspx; they have been used in trainings, such as the Regional workshop on natural disasters and IDPs, in Fiji, organized by the Brookings-LSE project on internal displacement, 3-6 May 2010.
