At its 48th plenary meeting, on 22 July 2004, the

Economic and Social Council took note of Commission on Human Rights resolution 2004/55 of 20 April 200415 and

endorsed the Commission’s request to the Secretary-General,

in effectively building upon the work of his Representative

on internally displaced persons, to establish a mechanism

that would address the complex problem of internal

displacement, in particular by mainstreaming human rights

of the internally displaced into all relevant parts of the

United Nations system.

The Council also endorsed the request to the Secretary-

General to ensure that the mechanism submitted annual reports

on its activities to the Commission and to the General Assembly,

making suggestions and recommendations regarding the human

rights of internally displaced persons and engaging in an

interactive dialogue thereon.
