Monitoring is a key activity in guaranteeing the
protection of refugees’ rights in the camps. It involves the continuous
monitoring of refugee living conditions in order to identify and document human
rights violations, and to ensure that the authorities and humanitarian actors
respect their obligations.
The objectives of monitoring are as follows: to
collect reliable data on violations of refugees’ rights, whether in terms of
violence, discrimination or lack of access to basic services. This data serves
as a factual basis for lobbying local authorities, international organizations
and donors.
Finally, monitoring makes it possible to track the
progress of identified cases and ensure that victims receive the necessary
support, whether medical, psychological or legal.
