A/54/303 Sistan-Baluchistan province. While such tension existed before the Islamic revolution in some areas, it appeared to have worsened significantly since that time. 29. In his report, the Special Representative welcomed the reported elimination of discrimination against Baha’i youth for enrolment in the pre-university year at the high-school level. According to reports, however, their entry to universities continued to be refused. The Special Representative expressed particular concern at the human rights situation of discrimination and even persecution of the Baha’i minority, including arbitrary detentions, arrests, raids on homes and confiscation of property. He also noted the continued restriction or denial of the freedom of the Baha’is to travel outside the Islamic Republic of Iran. 30. The Special Representative noted that the overall situation of the Baha’is had not improved and had in some aspects even deteriorated. In his conclusions, the Special Representative once again urged the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to fulfil his outstanding recommendations (A/53/423 and Corr.1, para. 45) as well as those of the Special Rapporteur on the question of religious intolerance (see E/CN.4/1996/95/Add.2). Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia 31. In his report (E/CN.4/1999/42), the Special Rapporteur, Jiri Dienstbier, provided an overview of the situation and the status of minorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. 32. With reference to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Special Rapporteur noted that human rights violations were directly linked to the failure of the parties to fully implement the structure and mechanisms agreed upon at Dayton, Ohio, United States of America. The implementation of annex 7 of the agreement, providing for the return of refugees and displaced persons, had been poor, with an unacceptably low number of minority returns throughout the country. The Special Rapporteur observed that three years after the conclusion of the Dayton agreement, conditions were still deeply unsatisfactory for the return of minorities. The main obstacles to returns remained inadequate security, and failure adequately to protect economic and social rights. Another issue of concern to the Special Rapporteur was the evictions of illegal occupants, necessary for the reinstatement of 6 returnees to their pre-war homes in Republika Srpska. The situation of persons illegally evicted from their property during the war, who remain at Banja Luka, remained practically unresolved. 33. The Special Rapporteur concluded that while some improvements in the situation of human rights could be observed, the authorities and political leaders in power in Bosnia and Herzegovina had continued to undermine efforts aimed at integrating the country, which is divided along ethnic lines. He recommended that efforts to improve security should be stepped up and property rights should be respected. A high priority should be given to the resolution of the situation of the illegally evicted persons in Banja Luka and other municipalities in the Republika Srpska. 34. With reference to the situation in the Republic of Croatia, the Special Rapporteur reported that the Government had adopted recommendations for legal reforms related to the return process, which were designed to overcome existing discriminatory legal provisions that had impeded return and repossession of property. 35. While acknowledging the progress made, the Special Rapporteur recommended that the question of tenancy rights be addressed by the Government of Croatia in order to foster the return of persons of the Serb minority to their former homes in urban areas, and that the Government should provide all housing commissions with alternative accommodations for equitable distribution. The Special Rapporteur urged the Government to undertake reconstruction and economic revitalization projects which directly benefit all ethnicities. Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar 36. The Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, Rajsoomer Lallah, observed, in his report (E/CN.4/1999/35) that the phenomenon of displacement would appear to be limited largely, if not exclusively, to ethnic minorities. The problem was not new and originated mainly from the absence of a political solution dating back to colonial times and before. The ceasefire agreements concluded in recent years were a beginning to a solution but were likely to be fruitless until serious and meaningful measures were taken to engage in a political dialogue which included the ethnic minorities. The Special Rapporteur mentioned that none of the displaced persons living in Myanmar or in Thailand would be able to return home immediately, since their houses and land had been destroyed
