Internally displaced children 56. The Committee notes the adoption of the Forcibly Displaced Persons-Exiles Act and the State party’s efforts, in cooperation with UNHCR, to provide humanitarian assistance to internally displaced persons, including free health care and education for children. However, the Committee remains concerned about their situation. 57. The Committee recommends that the State party implement the “New Approach” to internal displacement, which is to improve the current conditions of internally displaced persons while continuing to support their right to return voluntarily to their homes in safety and dignity, as developed by UNDP, UNHCR, the World Bank and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and endorsed by the State party. Children in armed conflict 58. The Committee is concerned that insufficient efforts have been made to guarantee and protect the rights of children living in conflict areas, including in South Ossetia and Abkhazia (especially in the Gali district). The Committee expresses grave concern at the significant number of landmines still in the State party, especially in the western regions along the border zones. The Committee notes with concern the insufficient efforts made by the State party to locate and clear these landmines and to protect children in this regard. Concern is also expressed about the inadequate programmes to facilitate the care and rehabilitation of child victims of landmines and the insufficient efforts to raise awareness and to prevent accidents involving children and landmines. 59. In light of articles 38 and 39 of the Convention, the Committee recommends that the State party take all appropriate measures to ensure the protection and care of children affected by armed conflict, including their physical and psychological recovery and social reintegration. The Committee strongly recommends that the State party take all appropriate measures to locate and clear the landmines in its territory, and promote awareness about the potential dangers. The State party is recommended to undertake a study to determine the impact of landmines in its territory, particularly as this affects children living in the western regions along the border. The Committee recommends that the State party reinforce its efforts to accede to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Production, Transfer and Stockpiling of Anti-Personnel Landmines and on Their Destruction, which it signed in December 1997. Additionally, the State party is encouraged to seek technical cooperation with the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), among others. Economic exploitation 60.
