The Dec. 2004 tsunami unleashed loss & destruction of horrific magnitude in 12 countries in Asia & Africa. One year after the tragedy, despite the tremendous efforts of local, nat. & internat. agencies, the rehab. & reconstruct. process is fraught with difficulties. This report assesses the status of post-tsunami reconstruct. & highlights multiple human rights viol. in Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India & the Maldives. It makes the demand for human rights standards in resettlement & reconstruction all the more urgent. Non-discriminatory access to relief & rehab., mechanisms to ensure transparency & accountability & provision for the active participation of survivors are fundamental, while all efforts must take into account the special needs of women.
