UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, John Holmes, says conditions must be stable and secure before people displaced by the Pakistani army's campaign against the Taliban in the north-western Swat Valley can return home.

Mr Holmes said the Pakistani government had told the UN it accepted that the decision of people to return had to be voluntary.
