A/HRC/34/68 community or communities and ensure that members of minority groups receive the same protection from attacks, summary or arbitrary execution, arbitrary detention or any other human rights violation as other civilians at all times, without any discrimination. 58. States should not place restrictions on the freedom of movement of particular individuals or groups of civilians on the sole basis that the individual or group shares ethnic, religious, linguistic or other characteristics with other parties to a conflict. In particular, under no circumstance should States restrict access to safe locations on the basis of discrimination against minorities or other grounds prohibited by international human rights or humanitarian law. No measures should be taken which unduly limit or restrict the enjoyment of all human rights of minorities, including their right to freedom of expression or association. 59. When deploying security services to protect populations at risk, States should give special consideration to issues and concerns of communities and the possible lack of trust of some minority groups with regard to security forces. Responses to a crisis must therefore be appropriate and culturally sensitive and seek to establish a link with the particular community or communities where such operations take place. Any laws or measures brought into effect with a view to addressing a humanitarian crisis must comply with the State’s obligations under international human rights law, including the conditions and limits to the scope of derogating measures in situations of emergency, and should not, by intention or in effect, unjustifiably expose members of minorities or minority communities to increased vulnerability vis-à-vis security forces. 60. States should ensure that protection responses are participatory, non-discriminatory and sensitive to the specific needs of minorities. 14 They should provide the necessary support to traumatized minorities and include a psychosocial dimension in their protection responses. 61. The United Nations and other international actors should identify and implement measures to provide additional appropriate protection during crises to those who may have suffered traumatization or persecution either before or as a result of the crisis. 62. States should implement, in accordance with general recommendation No. 30 (2013) of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, special security measures to protect minority women from gender-based violence and sexual abuse, given that women are at a heightened risk of violence, including sexual violence, during and after conflicts. 63. States should make every effort to preserve family unity and to enable family reunification for minorities affected by crises. 64. States must refrain from and prohibit forced eviction, demolition of houses, destruction of agricultural areas and arbitrary confiscation or expropriation of land as acts of discrimination, punitive measures or means or method of war directed against certain minority groups.15 65. The United Nations and other international actors should take all necessary precautions to understand and address any issues or tensions arising from the changing dynamics between different minority groups or with a majority group when a displaced population arrives. This applies notably in camps for internally displaced persons and in areas where internally displaced populations reside with a host community. They should 14 15 See, UNHCR, A Community-based Approach in UNHCR Operations (January 2008).
