Objective 9: Promote and protect the rights of vulnerable persons, including internally-displaced people and refugees i. Summary of the CSAR 319. In order to promote and protect the rights of refugees and vulnerable groups, including the disabled, the CSAR listed measures that have been taken. These include the presence and institutionalisation of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR); the signing of the Geneva Convention by Benin; the creation of the Department of Social Protection; the presence of the Red Cross and Red Crescent through the International Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (ICRC); the actions taken by organisations like the UNDP, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Action Aid to provide food, health, shelter and other assistant for refugees; the Charter on Refugees; the care provided by the Ministry of Family, Women, Children and the Disabled; and the Community-based Rehabilitation Centre for the Disabled. 320. Despite these measures, the CSAR noted that the plight of these vulnerable groups remains somewhat critical. The shortcomings it noted included the lack of education for the youth, the relocation of adults or refugees to facilitate their integration into the community, the lack of hospitality structures for the elderly, and the limited number of associations for senior citizens.
