In the draft resolution, paragraph 5, replace the words "authorities of Cyprus and Turkey" with the following words: "Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot authorities".
Explanatory note
With respect to the situation in the island of Cyprus, the call of the Rapporteur to "the authorities of Cyprus and Turkey" in paragraph 5 is misplaced. Such a call to "Cyprus and Turkey" only contradicts the sub-paragraphs to paragraph 5.

In the draft resolution, paragraph 5.1, replace the words "who disappeared either in Cyprus or were transferred to Turkey as prisoners of war" with the following words: ", at the same time welcoming the financial support of the Turkish Cypriot side to this Committee".
Explanatory note
The call to support CMP should be made to all relevant parties, which not also includes Greece and all parties that were on the island providing support to the United Nations Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) since 1964. Therefore, the wording should be changed to reflect the contribution of the Turkish Cypriot side to the Committee.

In the draft resolution, delete paragraph 5.3.
Explanatory note
This paragraph gives the impression that IDPs live in "refugee camps" and as such should be protected against mines. This does not reflect the realities on the island where both Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot IDPs have long been integrated into the society and live in towns and villages as any other person on the island.

In the draft resolution, replace paragraphs 7, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 with the following paragraphs:
"Referring to United Nations Security Council Resolutions 849 (1993) and 1808 (2008), the Final Declarations of the OSCE Heads of States Summits in 1994, 1996 and 1998 as well as the Resolutions 1633, 1647, 1683, 1664 and 1916 adopted by the Assembly, the Assembly deplores the forcible expulsion of people from Abkhazia, Georgia and Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia, Georgia in the 1990s and again in 2008, and the fact that this conflict in Georgia remains unresolved and commends the immense efforts provided in favour of IDPs in Georgia. In this regard: X.1 underlines the importance of the Co-ordination Mechanism on Missing Persons created in 2010 with the help of the ICRC and encourages the participants to engage constructively; X.2 referring to Assembly Resolution 1683, the Assembly calls upon the Russian Federation as an authority exercising control over Abkhazia, Georgia and Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia, Georgia to recognise formally and effectively the right of safe and dignified return of all IDPs, including those from the 2008 war, to their original places of residence to Abkhazia, Georgia and Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia, Georgia in line with paragraphs 9.9 and 9.11 of Resolution 1647 (2009); X.3 welcoming the demining of Abkhazia, Georgia by the HALO Trust from 1997 to 2011 and taking note that the demining action in Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia, Georgia by the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation in 2016 as the authority exercising effective control, calls on the Russian Federation to ensure also the withdrawal of ammunition and weapons from the conflict areas, which pose a serious risk to IDPs and others and have the potential to cause further displacements;"
Explanatory note
Abkhazia, Georgia and Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia, Georgia as integral parts of the Georgian territory should be clearly underlined in the resolution. Existing text introduces a possibility of excluding return of IDPs to their homes and represents clear signs of ethnic cleansing. Since actions of the Russian Federation in the two regions of Georgia are illegal, it is impossible to welcome such actions.
