The CHR Joint Monitoring team was composed of officers from CHR Central Office, CHR-X and CHR-XII. It was duly coordinated with the Regional Human Rights Commission of the ARMM and the National Emergency Operation Center in Iligan City. The Joint Monitoring Mission which covered evacuation centers in Iligan City, Lanao del Norte, and Lanao del Sur aimed to monitor the situation and conditions of Internally Displaced Persons and specifically included locating the experiences of displaced women, children and lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders and intersex persons (LGBTI). The CHR Team also covered the following monitoring themes: (1) Core Protection Services to include: camp management, registration, information dissemination, advocacy, peaceful existence, and protection monitoring; (2) Human Rights Assessment: food, water and sanitation, health, education, work, women and children, property, clothing; and last (3) Protection from Displacement. During the five day mission the team conducted interviews, focus group discussions, art sessions with children in the following evacuation centers: ILIGAN CITY: Buruun School of Fisheries (Brgy. Buruun), Buruun Gymnasium EC (Brgy. Buruun), Maria Cristina Gymnasium (Brgy. Maria Cristina), Bayanihan Gymnasium (Brgy. Sta Elena); LANAO DEL NORTE, Landa Madrasah EC (Brgy. Landa, Municipality of Balo-i), Madrasah Campong EC (Brgy. Campong, Municipality of Pantar); LANAO DEL SUR: Covered Court (Brgy. Poblacion, Municipality of Saguiaran). The immediate issues and needs of the IDPs were also relayed by the CHR team to the National Emergency Operation Center (NEOC) during the Response Cluster meeting last 3 July 2017. The initial recommendations forwarded by the Commission to the NEOC included the importance of conveying regular information and updates to IDPs on the situation and on the available services and interventions. It also included recommendations on health (addressing illnesses of IDPs, ensuring services for pregnant and lactating women and for children and the elderly), on camp management (ensuring registration and documentation of all IDPs, provision of more tents and tarps, ensuring compliance with standards of Women and Child Friendly Spaces), on food and non-food items (the clamour of IDPs for food donations other than noodles and canned goods, and for uniformity and equal distribution of relief goods). The initial recommendations also included the need to ensure smooth transition in the running of ECs from the Regional DSWD (RO 10) or the MSCWDO/CSWDO to the DSWD ARMM. As the Joint Monitoring Mission closes, the CHR Team commends the continuing efforts of different agencies, non-government organizations and individuals addressing the needs of IDPs. The team also forwards a more detailed set of recommendations with NEOC. These recommendations were culled from the interviews and FGDs with IDPs, particularly the vulnerable and marginalized. Anchored on the UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement (UNGPID) and human rights standards and informed by the lived experiences of IDPs as shared in the interviews and FGDs, the Commission forwards the following initial recommendations: NEEDS GAPS RECOMMENDATION RESPONSE Camp Coordination and Management Unaccompanied minor Jamal Ibrahim (15-yo, out-of-school youth; tricycle driver) in Saguiaran Municipal Hall EC.
