The EHRC is persuaded that building more prisons especially when this is accompanied by budget cuts across the public sector is not an effective solution for the problem of overcrowding. Evidence indicates that community solutions offer a more positive model to address re-offending for many offenders and that prison may be better suited to the more serious offenders. (...) Jack Straw, in The Times interview mentioned above, stressed the need for a "national conversation" on the use of prison. (...) Integrating human rights into poverty reduction strategies does not so much change "what" is to be done as to "how" and "why" activities are undertaken so that the process itself becomes part of the solution. 17. The Child Poverty Commission's Terms of Reference should state that at least one member be appointed that is experiencing, or has experienced socio-economic disadvantage; or set out the opportunities that people experiencing socio-economic disadvantage will have to participate in the work of the Commission, and how this involvement and engagement will be facilitated.

The Special Rapporteur acknowledges the remarkable work carried out by the above-mentioned organizations to provide support for and assistance to internally displaced persons and returnees in Iraq. 5. (...) The authorities have argued that the above-mentioned restrictions on movement had been imposed for the safety of internally displaced persons and communities. (...) The restrictions on freedom of movement that have been imposed on internally displaced persons with a perceived affiliation to ISIL do not meet the above-mentioned 12 See also Human Rights Committee general comment No. 27 (1999) on freedom of movement.

Among the obstacles they have mentioned, one was the policies of some pharmaceutical companies, including excessively high prices for medicines. (...) In the right-to-health analysis this principle is reflected in the requirement, already mentioned, that as much health-related information as possible should be accessible. (...) A/HRC/11/12/Add.2 page 18 significant new price reductions averaging 21% across a range of ARVs.16 The most significant reduction (almost 40%) was for abacavir sulfate oral solution (Ziagen), which WHO recommends for use within resource-limited settings.

Waste and chemicals management: current practices 16. As already mentioned above, the Special Rapporteur will provide a brief overview on the issue of the general management of hazardous substances and wastes currently in Hungary. (...) To this extent, the provision of physical structures in post-disaster reconstruction is only part of the solution; a robust plan comprising community building programmes should therefore be initiated. 40. (...) Wet technology entails storing the sludge in a water-based solution, with a layer of water above it; dry technology entails dehydrating the sludge.

It further met with and interviewed detainees in all above-mentioned facilities, in private and without the presence of guards or witnesses. 8. (...) The Working Group observed, however, relatively long periods spent by the accused in pretrial detention, sometimes as much as several years, despite the above-mentioned constitutional provision. Courts are reportedly overburdened and understaffed. (...) The long duration has been justified as a deterrent mechanism for other potential migrants, whether or not a durable solution can be found in each individual case. 69.

Finally, the former Representative stressed the need to find a lasting and peaceful solution to the conflict.1 7. At the time of the Representative’s visit, 686,586 persons (176,258 families) from Nagorny Karabakh and seven adjacent regions were registered as displaced by the Government.4 These figures include descendants of internally displaced persons born in displacement and who have the right to acquire the status of internally displaced person.5 Given an overall population of about 8.5 million, Azerbaijan thus continues to suffer from one of the highest proportions of displaced persons in the world. (...) The attention of the United Nations to the issue of internal displacement in Azerbaijan goes back to the early 1990s, when the Security Council demanded the immediate cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of occupying forces and urged the parties concerned to resume negotiations immediately for the resolution of the conflict within the framework of the peace process of the Minsk Group of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe and refrain from any action that would obstruct a peaceful solution of the problem (resolution 822 (1993)). In its subsequent resolution 844 (1993), the Council reiterated its demand for the immediate cessation of all hostilities and the withdrawal of occupying forces.

The Security Council in its Resolution 2231 has affirmed “that conclusion of the JCPOA marks a fundamental shift in its consideration of this issue…” 1 The purported over-arching purpose of all terminated resolutions of the UN Security Council on the Iranian nuclear issue was to reach “a diplomatic, negotiated solution that guarantees Iran’s nuclear programme is for exclusively peaceful purposes.” 2 That “diplomatic, negotiated solution” was reached, in a final and comprehensive manner, in the form of the JCPOA3, endorsed by UNSCR 22314. (...) Indeed, as much as the deal fell short of providing Iran with the benefits of sanctions lifting due to—as will be shown in the following paragraphs—mala fide and insincerity on the part of the United States and lack of will and aptitude on the part of the EU/E3, it proved to be a solid solution in meeting concerns claimed in terminated UNSC resolutions, thus rendering them not just terminated but factually and legally obsolete. (...) Letters on inadmissibility of E3 resort to Dispute Resolution Mechanism: Letter of 25 June 2019 to JCPOA Coordinator responding to the 21 June demarche of E3 ambassadors in Iran concerning A/75/968 S/2021/669 21-10116 10/146 definitely was never intended to be utilized in an arbitrary manner; giving participants a carte blanche to unilaterally destroy a comprehensive solution carefully and painstakingly negotiated after years of a stalemate.

With these claims Armenia tries to convince the international community that the Nagorno-Karabakh region had not been under control of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Yet, as mentioned above, the lack of effective control of the Government of Azerbaijan over part of its territory was due to the invasion of the Bolsheviks, in the result of which, the central Government had been overthrown. (...) As to the first issue, the most important part of the mentioned Memorandum of the Secretary-General relates to the “Juristic observations”， which reminds of the conditions governing the admission of new Members to the Organization contained in Article 1 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, including the requirement to be a fully self-governing state. (...) During the recent discussions with OSCE Office in Baku, the officials of the mentioned organization stated Azerbaijan should take pride in the fact that despite the ethnic Armenians are included in the risk group in Azerbaijan, the Office has not received any information or complaint with regard to the discrimination against them or their suppression.

The peace agreement, particularly the points related to integrated rural reform and the solution to the illicit drug problem, provides the opportunity to meet these challenges in a holistic manner. (...) In the above-mentioned cases of verified killings, 43 (or 73 per cent) of the victims were active in rural areas. (...) It is of concern that this has been done prior to the approval and formalization of the recommendations of the above-mentioned Commission, generating a risk that evidence of human rights violations may have been destroyed. 84.

In most cases, court proceedings were based on the provisions for cancellation of rights of articles 95 to 99 of the previously mentioned Law on Housing Relations. Although the law stipulates the termination of rights after six months of absence when there is not a valid reason, the fact that occupants have abandoned their homes under duress (e.g. risk of death and injury, threats against personal safety and forced evictions by military officials) was not taken into account in court proceedings. (...) Most returnees had to initiate long and expensive court procedures in order to establish possession of their land. In Zadar, a solution was found to solve the issue of illegally occupied land, most of which has now 13 International Alliance of Inhabitants, “Croatia: Restoring tenant’s rights to security of housing tenure”, available at: www.habitants.org. 14 “Croatia: A decade of disappointment.
