A/RES/60/128
interest the result of the Humanitarian Response Review, 9 welcomes the proposals
made by the Secretary-General and the General Assembly to strengthen the United
Nations humanitarian system, and takes note of deliberations by the Inter-Agency
Standing Committee aimed at following up on the Humanitarian Response Review
and bringing about greater consistency in the response to humanitarian emergencies;
17. Calls upon the Office of the High Commissioner, the international
community and other concerned entities to intensify their support to African
Governments through appropriate capacity-building activities, including training of
relevant officers, disseminating information about refugee instruments and
principles, providing financial, technical and advisory services to accelerate the
enactment or amendment and implementation of legislation relating to refugees,
strengthening emergency response and enhancing capacities for the coordination of
humanitarian activities;
18. Reaffirms the right of return and the principle of voluntary repatriation,
appeals to countries of origin and countries of asylum to create conditions that are
conducive to voluntary repatriation, recognizes that, while voluntary repatriation
remains the pre-eminent solution, local integration and third-country resettlement,
where appropriate and feasible, are also viable options for dealing with the situation
of African refugees who, owing to prevailing circumstances in their respective
countries of origin, are unable to return home, and welcomes in this regard the
conclusion on local integration adopted by the Executive Committee of the
Programme of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees at its fifty-sixth
session; 10
19. Also reaffirms that voluntary repatriation should not necessarily be
conditioned on the accomplishment of political solutions in the country of origin in
order not to impede the exercise of the refugees’ right to return, and recognizes that
the voluntary repatriation and reintegration process is normally guided by the
conditions in the country of origin, in particular that voluntary repatriation can be
accomplished in conditions of safety and dignity;
20. Welcomes the development by the High Commissioner, in cooperation
with other United Nations agencies and development actors, of the framework for
durable solutions, aimed at promoting lasting solutions, particularly in protracted
refugee situations, including the “4Rs” approach (repatriation, reintegration,
rehabilitation and reconstruction) to sustainable return;
21. Calls upon the international donor community to provide financial and
material assistance that allows for the implementation of community-based
development programmes that benefit both refugees and host communities, as
appropriate, in agreement with host countries and consistent with humanitarian
objectives, and recognizes that promoting the self-reliance of refugees from the
outset will contribute towards enhancing the ability of refugee communities to
become self-reliant, as and when appropriate, with adequate support from the
international community for the host country and the refugees living there;
22. Appeals to the international community to respond positively, in the
spirit of solidarity and burden- and responsibility-sharing, to the third-country
