A/RES/60/128
resettlement needs of African refugees, notes in this regard the importance of using
resettlement strategically, as part of situation-specific comprehensive responses to
refugee situations, and to this end encourages interested States, the Office of the
High Commissioner and other relevant partners to make full use of the Multilateral
Framework of Understandings on Resettlement, 11 where appropriate;
23. Calls upon the international donor community to provide material and
financial assistance for the implementation of programmes intended for the
rehabilitation of the environment and infrastructure affected by refugees in countries
of asylum;
24. Urges the international community, in the spirit of international solidarity
and burden-sharing, to continue to fund generously the refugee programmes of the
Office of the High Commissioner and, taking into account the substantially
increased needs of programmes in Africa, inter alia, as a result of repatriation
possibilities, to ensure that Africa receives a fair and equitable share of the
resources designated for refugees;
25. Encourages the Office of the High Commissioner and interested States to
identify protracted refugee situations which might lend themselves to resolution
through the development of specific, multilateral, comprehensive and practical
approaches to resolving such refugee situations, including improvement of
international burden- and responsibility-sharing and realization of durable solutions,
within a multilateral context;
26. Expresses grave concern about the plight of internally displaced persons
in Africa, calls upon States to take concrete action to pre-empt internal displacement
and to meet the protection and assistance needs of internally displaced persons,
recalls in that regard the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, 12 and
encourages the Office of the High Commissioner to continue to explore, with other
relevant actors, the feasibility of taking on coordination responsibilities for clusters
related to the protection of internally displaced persons, camp management and
shelter in conflict situations as part of a broader United Nations coordination effort
in support of United Nations humanitarian coordinators, without prejudice to its
core mandate of refugee protection and assistance;
27. Invites the Representative of the Secretary-General on the human rights
of internally displaced persons to continue his ongoing dialogue with Member States
and the intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations concerned, in
accordance with his mandate, and to include information thereon in his reports to
the Commission on Human Rights and the General Assembly;
28. Requests the Secretary-General to submit a comprehensive report on
assistance to refugees, returnees and displaced persons in Africa to the General
Assembly at its sixty-first session, taking fully into account the efforts expended by
countries of asylum, under the item entitled “Report of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees, questions relating to refugees, returnees and displaced
persons and humanitarian questions”, and to present an oral report to the Economic
and Social Council at its substantive session of 2006.
