STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 1: TO MAINTAIN AND STRENGTHEN THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS

Note: this section to be further developed in conjunction with the SCA

Activity Outputs Progress report

Ongoing activities1.Tailor and contextualize SCA recommendations

Record context and background in which the recommendation was developed

The SCA convened from 26 to 30 March 2012. Pursuant to article 10 of the Statute, the SCA considered applications for accreditation from the NHRIs of Bermuda, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mali and Tajikistan. Pursuant to article 15 of the Statute, the SCA also considered applications for re-accreditation from the NHRIs of Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Colombia, Indonesia, Malawi, Peru, The Philippines, Rwanda and Slovakia. Pursuant to article 16.2 of the Statute, the SCA reviewed the NHRI of Azerbaijan.

In each case, final recommendations were supported by a more detailed narrative text explaining why the SCA had particular issues of concern. This approach will continue for all future SCA sessions.

2. Improve accessibility to SCA process for NHRIs and others

Translation of documents; improved information on the ICC webpage

The SCA report of the March 2012 session of the SCA has been translated into the four ICC working languages (Arabic, English, French and Spanish) and posted on the ICC webpage.

SCA Reports from 2005 to the present are now available, with reports from 2010 available in all 4 ICC languages.

The ICC Geneva office developed a comprehensive information note on the ICC webpage about the accreditation process, including:

- an excerpt from the ICC Statute relevant to the accreditation process;

- SCA Rules of Procedure;

- SCA General Observations

- SCA Working Methods;

- Guidelines for Accreditation Applications;

2

- the Statement of Compliance template for applicants; and

- the Paris Principles.

The website also contains a regularly updated chart specifying the accreditation status of all NHRIs reviewed by the SCA.

Development activities3. Strengthen support for NHRIs’ preparations for ICC accreditation process

Review mechanisms and develop recommendations for ICC Bureau

The review of the SCA’s General Observations is intended to provide clearer guidance on the SCA process and the issues considered by its members.

The SCA has developed 3 new General Observations relating to: Assessing NHRIs as National Preventative and National Monitoring Mechanisms; Quasi-Judicial Competency of NHRIs; and Assessing Performance of NHRIs. There will be presented to the Bureau for approval in November 2012.

In addition, the existing General Observations have been revised and are being circulated to the membership for review and comment. The revised General Observations will be completed in 2013.

See also item 6 below

4. Strengthen transparency in accreditation process

Review of current processes, including review of General Observations

See item 3 above.

Civil Society groups are invited to submit information on the functioning of NHRIs under review.

5. Strengthen systematic follow up to SCA recommendations

Resources allowing, consider visits to NHRIs (and their governments) to engage

There are insufficient resources available to the SCA to permit in-country visits.

Following recent SCA meetings, and on a case by case basis or when requested, the ICC Chairperson, members of the ICC Bureau, the regional Chairpersons or SCA members as appropriate have been in contact with applicants for accreditation or re-accreditation in order to clarify SCA recommendations.

more effectively with institutions striving to meet the Paris principles and accreditation process standards.

NIRMS, in partnership with other international and regional actors, including the Network of African National Human Rights Institutions, has engaged in initiatives aimed at supporting the implementation of the SCA recommendations to the concerned NHRIs.

6. Enhance understanding of theaccreditation process

Increase awareness of theaccreditation process through the development of outreach andeducation strategies which might include:

(i) Building onto the agendas of the ICC plenary meetings & regional meetings;(ii) Engaging and enlarging the roles of ICC Regional Chairs and Regional Coordinating

ICC 25 side event

An event on the ICC accreditation process was held on the sidelines of ICC 25 on 21 March 2012. Its objective was to enhance the understanding among States, civil society, NHRIs and the UN system of the ICC accreditation process and the Paris Principles, by sharing information, working methods, best practices and lessoned learned.

The event heard presentations from NHRI representatives from Norway, Nigeria and Malaysia, who illustrated the positive impacts of the accreditation process on the strengthening of their respective institutions. The side event was held as public event and was attended by NHRIs, State delegations and non-governmental organisations.

Engaging with external actors

With a view to increasing understanding of the ICC accreditation process, the ICC Geneva Representative facilitated the organisation of meetings between ICC representatives and key Geneva-based and New-York organisations.

This includes: A meeting between ICC Regional Chair Alan Miller and ICC Regional Chair Lawrence Mushwana with delegates from the European Union; a meeting between ICC Regional Chair Alan Miller and ICC Regional Chair Lawrence Mushwana with Special Procedures mandate holders on 14 June 2012; a meeting between ICC SCA member Michel Forst and member states of the Organisation de la Francophonie on 11 June 2012. Further, the ICC Geneva Representative gave presentations on the accreditation process to the Association for the Prevention Against Torture on 5 April 2012; as well as to Commissioners and staff of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission during a meeting on 1 August 2012 in Belfast.

4

Committees (RCCs);(iii) Regular communications through regional and ICC Secretariat(OHCHR) bulletins and the NHRI Forum website;(iv) Periodic focus groups and roundtables;(v) Presentations and workshops; and(vi) Comprehensive plain language guide to the SCA process and GeneralObservations.

On the occasion of the presentation of the United Nations Secretary-General's reports on NHRIs and the ICC accreditation process at the 20th session of the Human Rights Council, the ICC presented a statement on 3 July 2012 on the ICC accreditation process focusing on the key developments aimed at strengthening the accreditation process.

During the consultation process on the NHRI resolution at the Human Rights Council in June 2012, the ICC Chair, ICC Regional Chairs and ICC Geneva Representative held numerous meetings with state delegations, including to provide information about the ICC accreditation process.

Induction training for NHRIs

NIRMS conducted induction training activities and workshops on the accreditation process for a number of NHRIs, including in Burundi in July 2012, prior to their application to accreditation review.

NIRMS conducts briefings for the NHRIs on the accreditation process. Briefings to the Central Asian Ombudsman institutions subsequently resulted in a number of applications for accreditation.

Role of Regional Coordinating Committees

The SCA, in accordance with established procedures, invites all regional coordinating committees to attend its sessions as observers. The SCA welcomed the participation of representatives from the Secretariat of the Asia Pacific Forum of NHRIs and the Network of NHRIs of the Americas at its most recent meeting.

Regional Coordinating Committees, acting in consultation with their respective SCA member, have been invited to include in each of their annual meetings, a session on the accreditation process and recent developments. Briefing sessions have since occurred during various RCC meetings.

Human Rights Council and Universal Periodic Review

In implementing her key task assignment, the ICC Geneva Representative with the assistance of the ICC Geneva intern continued to offer support and advice to NHRIs wishing to engage with international human rights mechanisms.

Advice and assistance was provided to ICC members and regional coordinating networks for their international with the HRC 19 in March 2012 and the HRC 20 session in June 2012, the UPR 13 session in May 2012 and UPR 14 session in October/November 2012.

Support was provided in relation to NHRI reporting, participation in sessions and meetings, development of statement and contributions, presenting statements on behalf of NHRIs, and assisting in follow up activities. Support also involved liaising between NHRIs and experts, OHCHR, States and NGOs, and other NHRIs. The organisation of NHRI hosted side events and NHRI contribution as panelist to HRC or other panels was also encouraged and facilitated by the ICC's representation in Geneva.

As a result of these efforts, there has been high substantial engagement by ICC members from all regions in the work of the HRC and the UPR. 18 NHRIs from all regions contributed to each of the HRC sessions on various agenda items on a range of substantive discussions, through written submissions to the HRC, attendance at plenary meetings, delivery of oral statements, as well as attendance at, and organisation of, side events.

All NHRI contributions to the HRC and UPR as well as the reports on ICC and NHRI engagement with HRC 19 and HRC 20 are available on the ICC webpage.

DIHR publication on UPR follow up

In cooperation with the ICC representation in Geneva, the Danish Institute for Human Rights is developing a publication entitled “National Implementation of UPR Recommendations, Second Cycle and Beyond-A Methodological Guide”. The publication, which is expected to be published in early 2013, will serve as tool for

6

Governments on how best to engage specifically with NHRIs on the 2nd UPR cycle. It will include information on best practice examples, such as on the establishment of human rights infrastructures, legislation, state institutions, political decision-making processes, national human rights action plans, indicators and reporting, NHRIs, and process and participation.

Treaty bodies

During the reporting period, the ICC Geneva Representative with the support of the ICC intern provided individual and targeted advice and support to more than 20 NHRIs, including NHRIs of Peru, Spain, Armenia, Canada, New Zealand, Jordan, Norway, Mexico, Portugal, Qatar, Argentina, Paraguay, Albania, Greece, Azerbaijan, Korea, Thailand, Ecuador, and Australia, for their engagement with CESCR, CRC, CEDAW, CERD, CED, CRPD, CMW and CAT.

The ICC webpage was updated with information about NHRIs, the accreditation process and the Paris Principles.

Development activities4. ICC strategic engagement with HRC and its mechanisms

Develop and implement strategic engagement,

ICC strategic engagement with the Human Rights Council and its mechanisms

The ICC with its members institutions seeks to play an active role at the international level in the protection and promotion of human rights. Over the reporting period, the ICC engaged with various international human rights protection mechanisms to advance key ICC thematic priorities, including Human Rights and Business and the rights of persons with disabilities.

See Annex I for further details.

A further function of the ICC is to advocate common positions adopted by the ICC membership:

HRC resolution on NHRIs

Over the reporting period, the ICC's key advocacy priority was to promote the adoption by the HRC of a NHRI resolution at the HRC 20 June session. Member States and NGOs' support and engagement, paired with ICC and ICC members' advocacy, resulted in the landmark adoption of the 2012 HRC resolution on NHRIs.

Building on its 2011 resolution, which confirmed the Council's firm support for the establishment and strengthening of effective, independent and pluralistic NHRIs, the 2012 resolution brings new focus to the important contributions that NHRIs make to the UN's work. The HRC takes a fundamental new step by recommending to the General Assembly to explore the feasibility of enabling Paris Principles compliant NHRIs to participate at its meetings on the same basis that they do at the Council.

The resolution also welcomes the UN Secretary-General's support for the strengthening of opportunities for NHRIs to participate at the Council, the human rights treaty bodies and a number of New York-based UN fora, such as the Commission on the Status of Women, the Conference of State Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and the Open-Ended Working Group on Ageing.

8

The resolution was adopted by consensus and with the co-sponsorship of more than 100 States from across all regions.

See Annex II for further details.

NHRI Video statements

At the close of its March 2012 session, the HRC adopted by consensus the outcome documents of its Task Force on the Use of IT including video statements. NHRIs now have the opportunity to contribute to the work of the HRC under all agenda items through video statements or video conferencing. The Council decision is a direct result of a year-long ICC-led advocacy, with the support from the HRC President, individual NHRIs, Member States and NGOs.

The Council decision and ICC position paper are available on the ICC webpage.

5.Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and State Parties Conference

Follow up on the ICC statement for the State Parties Conference made in September 2011 and engagement with state party bureau members on the distinct recognition for NHRIs in section 33.2 of the CRDP and the standing of NHRIs at the

In July 2012, the ICC Chair addressed the Conference Chairperson a formal letter with a request that the Conference Bureau consider the possibility of allowing for ICC/RCC/NHRI independent participation status with the Conference.On 18 July, ICC Regional Chair Amara Pongsapich together with APF Director Kieren Fitzpatrick and ICC Geneva Representative Katharina Rose met with the Deputy Permanent Representative of Thailand in New York, member of the Conference of State Parties in New York, to discuss and advocate for the role of NHRI in engaging with the Conference of States Parties.

At the opening of the COSP on 12 September, the President of the Conference on behalf of the Conference Bureau formally recommended that the Conference amend its rules of procedure to allow for ICC/RCC/NHRI formal participation rights in the future Conferences. Further, the Bureau decided to allocate a speaking slot for the ICC at the 2012 Conference. The ICC statement was presented on 14 September 2012.

NHRI representatives from the Equality and Human Rights Commission of Great Britain, the Canadian Human Rights Commission, the Danish Institute for Human Rights and the New Zealand Human Rights Commission participated in the Conference.

Under the leadership of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, the ICC survey on the

The ICC developed cooperation with IDA in the lead up to the Conference and the CRPD Committee meetings, in additional to continued cooperation at the Human Rights Council (HRC resolution on disabilities; accessibility of HRC work).

6.Strengthen cooperation with Treaty Bodies and Special Procedures

ICC strategic engagement to promote harmonization of working methods and cooperation between TB, SP and NHRIs

ICC strategic engagement with Special Procedures

At the 2012 Annual Meeting of Special Procedures, the ICC was represented by ICC Regional Chairs Alan Miller and Lawrence Mushwana, and the ICC Geneva Representative.

The ICC representatives pointed out that NHRIs play a bridging role between state actors and non-governmental organisations, and between the international human rights systems and the situation at national and local levels.

Special Procedures and NHRIs were considered to be natural, complementary partners because the constant presence of the latter allowed for support before, during and after the visits of Special Procedures and with regard to communications and follow up.

For practical steps to strengthen cooperation, within the ICC the process of accreditation of NHRIs had been strengthened. Human rights mechanisms, including the UPR and Special Procedures, could play in establishing and strengthening NHRIs to be in full compliance with the Paris Principles.

Special Procedures mandate holders pointed out that they systematically meet with NHRIs however that they experiences are mixed given that institutions enjoy varying degrees of independence, regardless of their status of accreditation.

As concrete recommendations, the ICC representatives suggested that:

•The manual of Special Procedures should be improved by adding guidance on working with NHRIs;

10

•That future induction sessions for Special Procedures mandate holders include additional information on interaction with NHRIs; and•A document on best practices on cooperation between NHRIs and Special Procedures be compiled.

In turn, Special Procedures mandate holders suggested that:

•Information on how their priority issues could be included in the agenda of the Annual Meetings of the ICC;•The role of NHRIs in relation to communications should be further explored; and•A methodology including templates could be developed, particularly on follow up, which will be a focus subject for the 2013 Annual Meeting of Special Procedures.

The ICC and Special Procedures agreed to follow up on these recommendations. The Special Procedures expressed appreciation to the ICC representatives for their meeting.A comprehensive OHCHR report on the 2012 Annual Meeting is available on the OHCHR webpage (Document A/HRC/21/51).

Treaty body strengthening process

The ICC actively engaged in the ongoing General Assembly-led treaty body strengthening process. During the process consultations in New York in the week of 16 July, the ICC Chair presented a statement at the high level opening session, following presentations from the High Commissioner, the President of the General Assembly and the Representative of Treaty Body Chairpersons. ICC Regional Chairs Alan Miller and Lawrence Mushwana spoke on thematic sessions.

On 18 July, the ICC Chair and Regional Chairs met with the Ambassadors of Indonesia and Iceland, appointed by the President of the General Assembly as Co-Facilitators to lead the treaty body strengthening process.

The Ambassadors welcome the ICC and NHRI engagement in the process and encouraged the ICC to continue coordinating NHRI input to, and participation in, the process.

At the initiative of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission, NHRI members of the European Group of NHRIs met on 31 July in Belfast, to develop a substantive

11

contribution by NHRIs to the treaty body strengthening process. The outcome Belfast Declaration was adopted by the European Group of NHRIs and subsequently with minor amendments by the ICC at large. The Belfast Statement has been submitted to the President of the General Assembly and the Co Facilitators, to inform the treaty body strengthening process. As stipulated in the Belfast statement, NHRI focal points from all ICC regions have been appointed to coordinate ICC contributions to the treaty body strengthening process.

The Belfast statement is available on the ICC webpage.

ICC strategic engagement with Treaty Bodies

A key focus of ICC strategic engagement with treaty bodies (TB) is to strengthen cooperation between TB and NHRIs and to influence the development of TB working methods that facilitate NHRI contribution opportunities to TB processes.

As a result of a consultations initiated by the ICC, the ICC Geneva Representative and the Secretary of CERD agreed to enhance their cooperation with a view to facilitating NHRI input to CERD follow up processes. Consequently, NHRIs were contacted and advised about the possibility of contributing with a written submission to their State's follow up review at the CERD's 81st session. NHRIs of Poland, Norway and Ireland provided such follow up information, which was deemed highly useful by the Committee.

Further to the ICC initiative, the CAT agreed to allow NHRIs that cannot travel to Geneva to contribute to the session via tele- or videoconferencing. A first teleconference was organised between the CAT experts and the NHRI of Armenia during CAT's 48th session in April 2012.

Other TB Secretaries have agreed to allow for similar arrangements in future sessions.7. Advocate for NHRI independent status before all UN bodies and agencies, including through an increased presence at treaty bodies and states parties in New York

Intensify the focus on New York to gain recognition for this objective. Advocacy for a GA resolution to this effect.

As a direct result of ICC advocacy, the 2012 Human Rights Council resolution adopted by consensus on 5 July 2012, marks a new fundamental step by the Council in recom-mending to the General Assembly that it explore the feasibility of enabling Paris Prin-ciples-compliant NHRIs to participate at its meetings on the same basis that they do at the Council. The resolution further welcomes the Secretary-General’s support for the strengthening of opportunities for NHRIs to participate in New York-based UN fora, such as the Commission on the Status Women, the Conference of States Parties to the Con-vention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and the Open-ended Working Group

12

on Ageing.

The ICC had high-level mission to New York from 16 to 18 July 2012, led by the ICC Chair with the participation of ICC Regional Chairs, APF Secretariat, the ICC Geneva Representative and representatives from the NHRC of Qatar. While in New York, the ICC delegation met with representatives from States and non-governmental organisations, to advocate for NHRI independent status before all UN bodies, as recommended in the Council resolution.

The ICC delegation also met with the President of the General Assembly. Following the President's advice and expression of support, the ICC and regional coordinating commit-tees (RCC) submitted to the President's office a letter of application to seek UN perman-ent observer status for the ICC and RCC.

To assist NHRIs in their advocacy with their respective States, the ICC is developing an advocacy paper on ICC, RCC and NHRI participation in UN fora.

ANNEX I

HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL

REPORT ON ICC STRATEGIC ENGAGEMENT

The ICC objective on strategic engagement with the Human Rights Council (HRC) and its mechan-isms is aimed at advocating for ICC members’ participation in the Council and its mechanisms, and at promoting ICC thematic priorities and more effectively ensuring NHRI recognition within the Council.

ICC strategic engagement and advocacy, in relation to the 2012 March and June sessions of the HRC, resulted in the implementation of key ICC 25 decisions, including:

Implementation of NHRI related outcomes of the HRC review (right to deliver pre-recorded video statements during HRC plenary debates);

Key ICC thematic priorities such as the human rights of persons with disabilities and follow up on the implementation of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action;

Continued strategic engagement with special procedures and UPR mechanisms;

ICC contributions to the UN Working Group on Human Rights, Transnational Corporations and Other Business Enterprises.

In advancing its strategic priorities, the ICC engaged in a wide range of activities, partnerships and contributions. For a full overview of ICC and NHRI contributions to the HRC 19 and 20, please see the ICC webpage1.

Remote participation rights for NHRIs at the Human Rights Council

A priority for the ICC over the reporting period was to promote remote participation of NHRIs at the HRC. ICC advocacy activities included contributions to open ended consultations with States and NGOs on recommendations of the Task Force on Secretariat Services, Accessibility for Persons with Disabilities and use of information technology (henceforth the Task Force). The ICC also pub-lished a strategic position paper on the work of the Task Force with regards to its exploration of the feasibility of the use of information technology. The publication can be accessed on the ICC web-site2.

As a result of these activities, the Council adopted on 21 March, 2012 the report of the Task Force, which inter alia grants Paris Principles compliant NHRIs the right to deliver pre-recorded video

1 http://nhri.ohchr.org/EN/IHRS/HumanRightsCouncil/Pages/Human-Rights-Council.aspx 2 Ibid 20

messages during HRC plenary debates, in particular accordance with the provisions described in the annex to Council resolution 16/213, paragraph 133 and paragraph 284.

NHRIs were invited to provide video-statements to the HRC from March 2012 onwards. The NHRIs of Timor Leste, South Africa and Georgia were the first to make use of this opportunity during the Interactive Dialogue with Special Procedures. In June 2012, at HRC 20, the NHRIs of Timor Leste and Serbia delivered video-messages on Special Procedures reports5. NHRIs are increasingly ex-pected to make use of this means for participation at future Council sessions. These new meas-ures have also been welcomed by the Special Procedures at their Annual Meeting with NHRIs in June 2012, as a means to strengthen cooperation.

NHRIS and the rights of persons with disabilities

A key focus for HRC 19 was advancing the ICC’s thematic priority concerning the rights of persons with disabilities.

ICC Secretary Florence Simbiri Jaoko, delivered a statement during the annual discussions on the human rights of persons with disabilities, which affirmed the important role NHRIs play in ensuring the full inclusion of persons with disabilities in public and political life.

On the side lines of HRC 19, the ICC Secretary and ICC Geneva Representative, attended and contributed to informal consultations with States on the ‘draft resolution on the rights of persons with disabilities: participation in political and public life’, co-sponsored by New Zealand and Mexico. Their interventions significantly helped strengthen the resolution text in a numbers of substantive ways.

On 22 March 2012, the Council adopted, without vote, the above mentioned resolution, specifically requesting the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) to prepare a study on the work and employment of persons with disabilities in consultation with NHRIs and other stake-holders. Critically, this promoted the Council’s recognition of the bridging role NHRIs may play between the international human rights system and implementation of the rights of persons with disabilities on the ground.

Reports of the Secretary General on NHRIs and the ICC accreditation process

In advancing its strategic objective to promote follow-up on the implementation of the Vienna De-claration and Programme of Action, the ICC Geneva Representative contributed to HRC 20 with a statement on the Secretary General reports on NHRIs and the ICC accreditation process.

The statement asserted the important impact that cooperation between OHCHR and the ICC has in terms of promoting and protecting human rights globally through effective and independent NHRIs. It specifically encouraged continued funding support and capacity building activities by OH-CHR and its UN partners to NHRIs. During the Genera Debate, several States made reference to their NHRIs hereunder Uruguay, Australia and Peru.

It also welcomed the partnership with UNDP in support of NHRIs and encouraged UN system-wide coordination on NHRIs. Critically, it also welcomed the SG’s support for NHRIs’ independent parti-cipation opportunities in UN bodies and for a.

This initiative, combined with ICC advocacy on the June 2012 resolution on NHRIs and the pres-ence of the ICC Chair and Regional Chairs of the ICC at HRC 20, reaffirmed the pivotal and con-structive role played by NHRIs in promoting and protecting human rights, as stipulated in the Vi-enna Declaration and Programme of Action.

These important efforts increased awareness at the Council of the mutually reinforcing relationship between the ICC and OHCHR and opportunities for strengthening partnerships between NHRIs, States, UN bodies and NGOs on areas of common strategic priority.

ICC Accreditation Process

With a view to fulfilling the ICC strategic objective of promoting knowledge and understanding about NHRIs, the accreditation process, and the Paris Principles, the ICC and OHCHR, organised a side event parallel to HRC 19 and ICC 25, on the theme ‘Strengthening NHRIs: The Paris Prin-ciples and ICC accreditation system’.

The NHRIs of Nigeria, Malaysia and Norway shared their experiences and lessons learned on how the Paris Principles and the accreditation system have helped strengthen their institutions.

Participants included representatives of NHRIs from all regions, OHCHR, States, NGOs, UN, the Commonwealth and Organisation de la Francophonie.

The initiative sought to foster an enhanced understanding among States, civil society, NHRIs, and the UN system about the ICC accreditation process and Paris Principles. Critically, NHRIs were re-minded of the value of a rigorous accreditation process in terms of the opportunities it offers for strengthening the capacity of NHRIs. As one of the panellist put it, the prospective downgrading of an NHRI can be a ‘blessing in disguise’.

NHRIs’ cooperation with Special Procedures

The ICC’s strategic engagement with Special Procedures was significantly strengthened during the reporting period.

The ICC Geneva Office supported NHRIs in their engagement with Special Procedures prior to, and during the Council sessions, by inter alia advising NHRIs on relevant Special Procedures re-ports and their contribution possibilities thereto, delivering statements on behalf of NHRIs, and or-ganising meetings between NHRIs and Special Procedures on the side lines of Council sessions.

An illustrative example of the fruitful cooperation between the ICC Geneva Office, NHRIs and Spe-cial Procedures was reflected in the engagement between the Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women Rashida Manjoo, and the Jordanian National Human Rights Centre (JNHRC). Dur-ing the Interactive Dialogue on violence against women at HRC 20, the Special Rapporteur com-mended the JNHRC for a constructive dialogue during her country visit to Jordan and for the posit-ive measures taken by the JNHRC in the area of gender, in particular with regards to violence against women. The Special Rapporteur informed that the work of the JNHRC can serve as a model for other NHRIs.

Other NHRI contributions focused on: torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment; en-forced or involuntary disappearances; the right to food; arbitrary detention; the human rights of in-ternally displaced persons; the sale of children; peaceful assembly and association; discrimination against women; cultural rights; and human trafficking.

These activities affirmed the significance of the mutually reinforcing relationship between NHRIs and Special Procedures, and the role of the ICC in supporting NHRIs in strengthening their en-gagement.

NHRIs and the adoption of UPR reports

As observed at previous Council sessions the UPR segment continues to witness a particularly high level of NHRI engagement.

In preparation for HRC 19, the ICC Geneva Office informed NHRIs of the timetable for the adoption relevant UPR report and advised on contribution possibilities thereto.

The NHRIs of Australia and Cameroon submitted reports on the UPR process for the consideration of the Council at its 19th session. During the plenary meetings, the NHRIs of Tanzania, Ireland, Uganda, Timor Leste and Thailand contributed with oral statements, before the adoption of the UPR reports of their respective countries.

These important contributions reflect the ICC, and its members’, commitment to fulfilling parts of the core mandate and work of NHRIs and seek to ensure cross-pollination between recommenda-tions of Special Procedures and other UN mechanisms.

NHRIs and business and human rights

A strategic focus for HRC 20 was ICC contributions to the work of the UN Working Group on Hu-man Rights, Transnational Corporations and Other Business Enterprises (UN Working Group).

At HRC 20, on the occasion of the presentation of the UN WG ‘s report, ICC Chair Dr. Mousa Burayzat, presented a statement to the UN WG, on behalf of the ICC WG on Business and Human Rights6.

The statement highlighted the important role and commitment of NHRIs at national and regional levels, in promoting understanding and operationalisation of the ‘Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights: Implementing the United Nations 'Protect, Respect and Remedy' Framework’, in contexts where public and private institutions are unable or unwilling to respect human rights of all persons. The Chair of the UN Working Group Margaret Jungk, strongly concurred with this point in her statement to the Council.

The ICC Chair’s statement also brought the Council’s attention to the 11 th International Conference of NHRIs on the theme of Human Rights of Women and Girls, Gender Based Equality and the Role of National Human Rights Institutions from 5-7 November, 2012 in Amman, Jordan, under the Royal Patronage.

This activity promoted awareness among members of the Council around the important roles and activities of NHRIs in contributing to the UN Working Group. It also advocated for the possibility of

collaboration between the ICC and UN Working Group in advancing the gender aspect in the area of business and human rights.

NHRIs’ participation in panel discussions

In further promoting its strategic engagement with the HRC, the ICC contributed to several panel discussions at HRC 19.

During the panel discussion on freedom of expression on the internet, ICC Secretary Florence Simbiri Jaoko, intervened from the floor to assert the instrumental role NHRIs can serve in ensur-ing that national laws comply with international standards, and in providing platforms where toler-ance and freedom of expression is promoted.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission of Great Britain (EHRC) delivered a joint NHRI state-ment7 on the first ever panel discussion on discrimination and violence based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Chairperson of the Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines Etta Rosales, participated as a panellist on the annual thematic discussion on best practices on technical cooperation: paving the way for the second cycle of the UPR. Based on the Philippines’ experience with the 1st UPR cycle, the Chairperson provided useful lessons learned and examples of the role NHRIs can play in pre-paration for and follow up to the UPR process.

These activities reflect the contributions NHRIs can make on a diverse range of thematic issues.

NHRIs and HRC side events

The significance of the ICC’s strategic engagement with the Council was moreover reflected by high level ICC and NHRI participation in, and organisation of, side events parallel to HRC 19.

Chairperson of the Ugandan Human Rights Commission Med Kaggwa, participated in an event on ‘Constitutional guarantees for the promotion and protection of human rights’ organised by the Inter-ministerial Delegation for Human Rights of Morocco, with the support of the OHCHR and the Per-manent Mission of Morocco in Geneva.

ICC Chair Rosslyn Noonan, contributed to an NGO Panel on ‘Human Rights Education in Non-formal settings’ organised by the NGO Working Group on Human Rights Education and Learning.

The UK National Human Rights Institutions held an event on the theme ‘Preparing for the Universal Periodic review of the United Kingdom – a briefing for Permanent Missions’.

These activities reflect the strategic ways in which the ICC and its members use the Council as a platform to promote its diversity, mission and vision.

7 The statement was delivered on behalf of the A status NHRIs of Great Britain, Scotland, New Zealand, Mongolia, Nicaragua, Canada, Greece, Ecuador, Thailand and France. 24

Annex II

ICC STRATEGIC ENGAGEMENT ON THE COUNCIL RESOLUTION ON NHRIS AT THE 20th SESSION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL IN JUNE 2012

As decided at ICC 25, a centrepiece of ICC advocacy during the reporting period was to support the development of a resolution on NHRIs at the 20th session of the Human Rights Council (HRC) in June 2012. Building on the 2011 Council resolution on NHRIs, which confirmed the Council’s support for the establishment and strengthening of effective, inde-pendent and pluralistic NHRIs, the 2012 resolution brought new focus to the important contributions that NHRIs make to the UN’s work.

ICC strategy

ICC advocacy for broad, cross-regional support for the resolution, and the ICC’s priorities linked hereto, included a range of activities led by the ICC Chair, ICC Regional Chairs and ICC Geneva Representative in cooperation with the main sponsor of the resolution, the Australian Permanent Mission. Activities included:

Requesting ICC members to promote the ICC position with their Government rep-resentatives in both capital and Geneva, with a view to ensuring broad and cross-regional co-sponsorship;

Requesting ICC Regional Chairs and Coordinators to ensure effective communica-tions and coordination between the ICC Chair, ICC Bureau and ICC members to this effect;

Organising and engaging in informal consultations with States and civil society rep-resentatives on draft resolutions;

High level meetings between the:

1.) ICC Chair Dr. Mousa Buzayrat and the HRC President Laura Dupuy Lasserre and Australian Ambassador Peter Woolcott, respectively;

2.) Working Group on human rights of Francophone Ambassadors, Chair of the Commission Nationale Consultative des Droits de L’homme de France (CNCDH) Michel Forst, and ICC Geneva Representative Katharina Rose;

25

3.) Australian Ambassador, Permanent Mission Ambassadors to the UN in Geneva8, Chair of the CNCDH, Chair of the Network of African Human Rights In-stitutions (NANHRI) and the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) Lawrence Mushwana, and ICC Geneva Representative;

4.) EU delegates, Chair of the European Group of NHRIs and the Scottish Human Rights Commission (SHRC) Alan Miller, Chair of NANRHI, and ICC Geneva Representative.

Results achieved

On 5 July 2012, the Council adopted by consensus its second resolution on NHRIs. The resolution, which was presented by Australia entitled ‘National Institutions for the Promo-tion and Protection of Human Rights’ was co-sponsored by more than 100 States.

As expressed by Australian Ambassador Peter Woolcott, the broad, cross regional support for the resolution reflects the ‘strong recognition of the unique role and valuable work of NHRIs in building capacity and promoting and protecting human rights around the world’.

As a direct result of ICC advocacy, the resolution:

Marks a new fundamental step by the Council in recommending to the General As-sembly that -the latter main deliberative body – explore the feasibility of enabling Paris Principles-compliant NHRIs to participate at its meetings on the same basis that they do at the Council;

Welcomes the Secretary-General’s support for the strengthening of opportunities for NHRIs to participate at the Council, the human rights treaty bodies and a number of New York-based UN fora, such as the Commission on the Status Women, the Council of States Parties to the Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilit-ies, and the Open-ended Working Group on Ageing;

Welcomes the growing number of States establishing NHRIs in accordance with the Paris Principles.

In cognisance of successful ICC engagement and advocacy, the resolution acknowledges the important role of the ICC and expresses appreciation for the work of the Network of African National Human Rights Institutions, the Network of National Institutions for the Pro-motion and Protection of Human Rights in the Americas, the Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions and the European Group of National Human Rights Institutions.
