A/70/334 be useful to appoint trained gender focal points in different sectors of the police and other law enforcement bodies. Economic, social and cultural rights 80. For durable solutions to be fully achieved, the economic, social and cultural rights of internally displaced persons must be fully respected and protected. Special measures may need to be implemented to ensure access to education, health services, livelihood opportunities, land and property rights for internally displaced persons, returnees and resettled persons on an equal basis with the non-displaced population. Local authorities have a special and ongoing role and need to work together with internally displaced persons, returnees and resettled persons to make social services more accessible to them. During his visit to Georgia in June 2013, the Special Rapporteur was informed that a revised action plan for the implementation of the State strategy on internally displaced persons 2012 -2014 had been adopted. He welcomed the fact that this revised action plan contained a strong focus on socioeconomic measures for internally displaced persons. The action plan mandated a steering committee to, inter alia, support the socioeconomic integration of internally displaced persons, provide them with proper livi ng conditions and durable housing solutions and eliminate their dependence on the State (A/HRC/26/33/Add.1). 81. Solutions to displacement cannot be considered sustainable unless internally displaced persons have equal access to livelihood and employment opportunities. The Special Rapporteur notes the value of adopting a specific policy or strategy on livelihood, in consultation with internally displaced persons themselves and relevant communities, which would address the specific needs of internally displaced persons as well as the needs and interests of displacement -affected communities. National and local authorities should provide internally displaced persons with skills-development opportunities and vocational training so that they can resume their lives and secure sustainable incomes. In Azerbaijan, the Special Rapporteur was informed that some internally displaced persons were provided with employment by the State Employment Service, while others were involved in vocational training or engaged in public works. The National Fund for Entrepreneurship Support also provided preferential loans to internally displaced persons for entrepreneurship investment projects ( A/HRC/29/34/Add.1). Housing, land and property 82. Questions related to housing, land and property are often complex and require effective management. Effective and accessible mechanisms for timely restitution of housing, land and property rights of internally displaced persons must be established for them to achieve durable solutions, regardless of the solution they have opted for. The Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework states that “the right to restitution or compensation extends to all displaced persons — including men, women and children — who have lost ownership, tenancy rights or other access entitlements to their housing, land and property, whether they have formal or informal titles or rights on the basis of mere uncontest ed use or occupation ….” The Special Rapporteur also recalls the importance of States implementing the principles on housing and property restitution for refugees and displaced persons, developed by the Special Rapporteur of the Subcommission on Promotion and Protection of Human Rights, Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro (E/CN.4/Sub.2/2005/17, annex), most notably 15-12504 21/26
