war, which was the most generous offer of naturalisation to date, founded on the philosophy of Tanzania’s founding president Julius Nyerere: Africa needed to demonstrate more generosity to Africans. This plan was coupled with the State Party’s move to repatriate all or most of Burundian refugees back home following the country’s return to peace and political stability between 2010 and 2014. 181. However, after the eruption of political instability and violence in the Republic of Burundi in early 2015, the State Party has unexpectedly received closeto 100,000 refugees (including children) from that country. The influx of refugees has yet again pushed the Nyarugusu camp to 200% capacity, consequent to which there have occurred health scares resulting in the shocking deaths of 31 people who died from the recent cholera outbreak, out of whom 2 were Tanzanians. The refugees continue to arrive in the northwestern part of the country. 182. In order to address the foregoing challenges caused by the influx of refugees,the State Party has undertaken several measures to provide special support to Burundian refugee children, particularly: 182.1 In collaboration with UNHCR and other partners, the State Party strives to safeguard the rights and entitlements of refugees and other people of concern by promoting an enabling environment for the country to adapt its national legislation to the international instruments to which it has acceded. And, as such, the State Party commits itself to aligning domestic law to international standards and to issue birth certificates to refugee children and identification cards in 2015 in order to improve refugee children’s access to social services. 182.2 As sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) remains a challenge for refugees (with some harmful traditional practices perpetuating discrimination against women and children, the State Party worksin collaboration with UNHCR and other partners to promote women's and children’s rights and refugees' free access to SGBV prevention and response mechanisms. 182.3 As insecurity continues to exist in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and in Burundi, the State Party recognizes this as an important obstacle to voluntary repatriation. As such, the State Party, in collaboration with UNHCR and other partners, continues implementing a regional resettlement strategy for Congolese refugees and engaging in regional and subregional dialogues with its neighbouring countries to assist Burundi to go back to peace, security and political stability. 182.4 In collaboration with UNHCR and other partners, the State Party has formulated and is implementing programmes that seek to strengthen livelihoods and local integration in the old settlements of Katumba, Mishamo and Ulyankulu, where the former Burundian refugees reside. Specific focus and emphasis in these programmes are placed on refugee children who are the most vulnerable. 182.5 Recognizing that the State Party and the people of Tanzania have been hospitable to refugees for decades, the State Party pledges its continued support the implementation of legal and socio-economic measures for the newly naturalized Burundian refugees and the continued provision of security for the Nyarugusu camp, as well as the three old settlements of Katumba, Mishamo and Ulyankulu. This is possible through collaboration with UNHCR and other partners. (b) Children of imprisoned mothers: 183. The State Party has put in place policy, legislative and administrative measures to provide special treatment to expectant mothers and to mothers of infants and young children who have been found guilty by law as required by Article 30 of the Charter. In particular, the Law of the Child Act (2009), the Prisons Act (1967)63, the Prisons Standing Order and the Criminal Procedure Act (1985)64 provide safeguards to parents or caregivers incarcerated by their children. In order actualize the implementation of these laws; the 63 64 Act No. 34 of 1967 (Cap. 58 R.E. 2002). Cap. 20 R.E. 2002. 51
