A/HRC/34/68 should take all the measures necessary to ensure that these new minorities are given a chance to recover from their trauma and to rebuild their lives. 84. States should uphold the international legal principle of non-refoulement. Where circumstances have changed in the country of origin and in consultation with UNHCR, refugee status shall be ceased for a particular displaced population and the parties may, with the cooperation of UNHCR, start the process to return those persons previously recognized as refugees to their country of origin. In this process, the potential challenges of minorities in their country and place of origin must be assessed and carefully evaluated. Every displaced person has the right to challenge the cessation of refugee status as it applies to him or her, where there are compelling reasons, such as previous persecution in his or her country of origin, for refusing to accept the protection of his or her country of nationality or habitual residence. Similar procedures, with oversight by UNHCR, should apply where a State claims that it is safe for internally displaced persons to return home. 85. States hosting asylum seekers, migrants, refugees and stateless persons should facilitate their integration and pay particular attention to the situation and needs of minorities, including minority women and children who may be particularly vulnerable or face multiple forms of discrimination. Personal documentation 86. States, the United Nations, other development actors and, as relevant, non-State actors should ensure the restitution or reissuance of identity documents to persons belonging to minorities after a crisis, including documents such as birth certificates or nationality documentation, so that the risk of statelessness is prevented. 87. States must provide the necessary documentation to all persons affected by crises, in particular minority communities who are often excluded, so that they may access public assistance and services and, where applicable, claim their political rights. If such provisions are not possible, States should not make possession of such documentation a prerequisite to accessing services or exercising rights. Assessment of the needs and capacities of minorities 88. Governments should carry out an economic, social and environmental mapping exercise, with the contribution of civil society, to assess the general and specific needs and capacities of minority populations after a crisis and review all the various racial, ethnic, religious, national, age and gender components of the population. Such an exercise should then serve as the basis for coordinating the programmes of the various national and international actors involved at the recovery stage. 89. The United Nations and other international humanitarian and development actors should continue to monitor the situation of displaced communities, refugees and other groups affected by crises, with particular attention to persons belonging to minorities. They should engage with the States concerned in order to assist in finding durable solutions for these communities and support the work of local civil society through funding and training and reference to their monitoring work. 90. National human rights institutions should ensure independent monitoring, analysis and reporting on the situation of minorities to ensure the continued protection for and nondiscrimination of minorities following situations of crisis and in the search for durable solutions. 91. Regional organizations should support States and the international community in monitoring the situation of displaced communities or communities recovering from a crisis in their region and should draw attention to situations where displaced, host or recovering 14
