OHCHR continues to support the human rights component of UNOMIG,which is mandated to monitor the human rights situation in Abkhazia, Georgia and to protect the human rights of the population there. This includes ensuring a safe and dignified return of refugees and internally displaced persons, establishing direct contacts in Abkhazia to improve the human rights situation, and reporting on human rights developments. Capacity-building activities, such as rehabilitation programmes for former detainees and legal assistance projects, have helped to alleviate the suffering of some of the most vulnerable people. In 2008-2009, OHCHR will continue to focus on the most prevalent human rights problems, including impunity, violations of due process, disappearances, arbitrary arrests, mistreatment and torture of detainees, extortion and corruption, arbitrary evictions and illegal occupation of property, and restrictions on freedom of expression. The above-mentioned capacity-building projects will continue and the Office will raise awareness about the recommendations of international human rights mechanisms, particularly the recent concluding observations of the Human Rights Committee and the recommendations of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on the human rights of internally displaced persons.
