URGENT PROTECTION NEEDED FOR DISPLACED PERSONS IN CENTRAL AFRICAN
REPUBLIC – UN EXPERT New York, Sep 24 2013 2:00 PM An independent
United Nations human rights expert today called for the urgent
protection of civilians uprooted by the current crisis in the Central
African Republic (CAR) which is marked by a virtual lack of security,
massive displacement and a dire humanitarian situation.

"I urge the Transitional Government of the Central African Republic to
do its utmost to ensure the protection of IDPs and to facilitate the
humanitarian response,"
<"http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=13773&LangID=E">said
Chaloka Beyani, the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of
internally displaced persons (IDPs).

"The situation of all those displaced, who hide in remote areas,
including in the bush, in poor sanitary conditions and without access
to basic services or clean services is extremely worrying."

The CAR – which has been marked by decades of instability and fighting
– witnessed a resumption of violence last December when the Séléka
rebel coalition launched a series of attacks. A peace agreement was
reached in January, but the rebels again seized the capital, Bangui,
in March, forcing President François Bozizé to flee.

The recent fighting has further eroded even the most basic services in
the country and exacerbated an already dire humanitarian situation
affecting the entire population of 4.6 million people, half of whom
are children. Currently, 1.6 million people are in dire need of
assistance, including food, protection, health care, water, sanitation
and shelter.

Mr. Beyani noted in a news release that more than four months after
the rebels seized power, there is virtually no security in the
country, which is seeing widespread human rights violations and
abuses, including attacks on the population, massive internal
displacement, rape and looting.

As of early September, more than 260,000 people were internally
displaced in CAR, including more than 100,000 children. Most displaced
children are not able to attend lessons as schools have been
destroyed, closed or occupied by armed groups. Displaced children are
also reported to be particularly vulnerable to forced recruitment by
armed groups.

The Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council (HRC) is set to hold an
interactive dialogue on the situation of CAR tomorrow, while a
ministerial-level meeting on the humanitarian situation in the
country, co-chaired by Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian
Affairs Valerie Amos, will be held in New York.

"I call on the HRC to address the situation of internally displaced
people in the country and to make concrete recommendations to that
effect," said Mr. Beyani, who reports to the Council in an independent
and unpaid capacity.Sep 24 2013 2:00PM
