Association du Développement et de la Promotion des Droits de l’Homme on item V 9th session of the Forum on Minority Issues - ohchr 24/25 November 2016 Unites Nations - Geneva Good evening and thank you for giving me the floor. Mauritania has taken measures to implement the recommendations formulated by the various treaty bodies of sustainable development in humanitarian crises, including inter alia the return of Mauritanian refugees and Senegal. The tripartite agreement has enabled Mauritania to resolve this issue through voluntary repatriation of its citizens who are in Senegal. Each party has fulfilled its obligations under the tripartite agreement. Mauritania has facilitated voluntary repatriation. This has made it possible to organise a 106 convoys for thousands of returnees who have been hosted families throughout towns in the whole country. The families have been given lots of land to build shelters out of concrete. There are also schools being built and medical centres. There is humanitarian assistance; the process began in 2008 in accordance with Mauritanian law. The regulations have resulted in Rights to reparations and the duty to, pardon, during the national reconciliation they, which was [constructed] in the memory of the victims. There have been solutions proposed by our national commission and refugees from Mali who are now in Mauritania have also been covered by humanitarian assistance. The international community should be more constructive and make proposals, which will lead to reconciliation rather than firing the fires of [dissent].
