Go To Part I II III IV V Foreword by the Representative of the UN Secretary-General on the Human Rights of IDPs at advocates, whether or not legally trained, who are looking for a sense of the various advantages and drawbacks of the different procedures, so that they may choose the best way forward for the persons on whose behalf they are engaged. A cardinal feature of my work as Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons has been raising awareness of the human rights of internally displaced persons and of the means by which these rights can be achieved. While it can be painstaking and laborious work, I have seen situations and lives changed for the better by judicious use of these processes. Thus I welcome warmly this Guide and commend it to internally displaced persons, their advocates and the wider international community working to effect positive changes for the internally displaced around the world. Dr. WalTer kälin Representative of the Secretary-General on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons Geneva, June 2006 Guide to International Human Rights Mechanisms for Internally Displaced Persons and their Advocates vi
