Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) 'Guidelines on the Protection of

Government refugee and migration assistance funds implement the

standards outlined in subsection (a).

"(c) Requirements for Refugee and Migration Assistance. - The

Secretary of State, in providing migration and refugee assistance,

should support the protection efforts set forth under this section

by raising at the highest levels of government the issue of abuses

against refugee women and children by governments or insurgent

groups that engage in, permit, or condone -

"(1) a pattern of gross violations of internationally

recognized human rights, such as torture or cruel, inhumane, or

degrading treatment or punishment, prolonged detention without

charges, or other flagrant denial to life, liberty, and the

security of person;

"(2) the blockage of humanitarian relief assistance;

"(3) gender-specific persecution such as systematic individual

or mass rape, forced pregnancy, forced abortion, enforced

prostitution, any form of indecent assault or act of violence

against refugee women, girls, and children; or

"(4) continuing violations of the integrity of the person

against refugee women and children on the part of armed

insurgents, local security forces, or camp guards.

"(d) Investigation of Reports. - Upon receipt of credible reports

of abuses under subsection (c), the Secretary of State should

immediately investigate such reports through emergency fact-finding

missions or other means of investigating such reports and help

identify appropriate remedial measures.

"(e) Multilateral Implementation of the 1991 UNHCR 'Guidelines on

the Protection of Refugee Women'. - The Secretary of State should

work to ensure that multilateral organizations fully incorporate

the needs of refugee women and children into all elements of

refugee assistance programs and work to encourage other governments
