In his first report to the General Assembly, the Representative surveys his
activities since taking up his mandate and offers recommendations for future action. The disastrous tsunamis of 26 December 2004, causing massive internal displacement on a multiregional scale, were a major challenge for the Representative’s mandate. Working visits to Sri Lanka and Thailand enabled the Representative to underscore the human rights implications of natural disasters. Like his predecessor, Francis Deng, the Representative undertook working visits, amongst others to Turkey, and official missions, namely to Nepal, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia and Montenegro, including Kosovo. In each country, the Representative was able to pursue a constructive dialogue with the national authorities, members of civil society and representatives of the United Nations and other international organizations and to meet IDPs in order to listen to their concerns. He is of the firm view that durable solutions to issues of internal displacement of both long and more recent standing can only be found through effective cooperation and action, supported by all States, based on the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the international human rights standards which underpin them.
