As a project contribution, this activity will support OHCHR’s mandate. OHCHR has identified six thematic pillars that guide their work to promote and protect all human rights.

¿ Advance sustainable development through human rights: OHCHR will provide technical assistance for the integration of international human rights standards into public policies related to rural areas, with a focus on issues such as the restitution, access, use, and ownership of land and territory by campesinos, Afro-Colombians, and indigenous peoples. Additionally, OHCHR will collaborate closely with the private sector, civil society and the state to implement the UN’s framework on business and human rights.

¿ Enhance equality and counter discrimination: OHCHR will continue to assist minority groups, including indigenous peoples, Afro-Colombians, women and LGBTIQ+, to increase their participation in decision-making processes. In addition, the office will seek to support national authorities to combat discrimination by ensuring the adoption and compliance with adequate policy frameworks.

¿ Enhance participation and protect civic space: OHCHR will continue to work with Colombian state institutions and civil society organizations to strengthen their capacity to engage safely in constructive dialogue and promote participatory decision making scenarios, specially on public policies resulting from the implementation of the peace accord.

¿ Increase implementation of the outcomes of international human rights mechanisms: OHCHR will continue to provide technical support to civil society organizations, individuals, and UN entities to submit their contributions to treaty bodies, special procedures and universal periodic reviews. OHCHR will continue to prepare and disseminate its annual report.

¿ Prevent violations and strengthen protection of human rights, including in situations of conflict and insecurity: OHCHR will provide technical assistance to Colombian state institutions responsible for the prevention, protection and response to human rights violations in order to ensure they are able to fulfill their obligations in accordance with international standards.

¿ Strengthen the rule of law and accountability for human rights violations: OHCHR will work to support selected policies that contribute to addressing and preventing human rights violations in the context of the justice system.
