The Reporting Procedure 4 üü whether by choosing to implement one specific recommendation, other similar recommendations would possibly also be implemented; if so, they should add another recommendation to complete the template; üü whether any of the recommendations already provide details of the type of activities which need to be put in place to implement the recommendations. c) Indicate to the groups that they have 30 minutes to conduct this exercise. Step 8: Identifying indicators  Duration 30 minutes a) Mention to participants that you would like to make a brief note on the use of indicators when implementing human rights recommendations; the following points are relevant (10 minutes): üü Indicators for human rights highlight their practical content; assist with the follow-up of recommendations as they measure progress in implementation or realization of human rights; ensure transparency and objectivity. üü OHCHR conceptual framework translates human rights norms and principles, as enshrined in human rights instruments, into three types of indicator: structural, process and outcome. üü Structural: this type measures the acceptance of, intent of, and commitment to human rights. For example ratification of treaties, time-frame and coverage of a plan of action for free and compulsory primary education. üü Process: this type measures effort to transform commitments into desired results. For example, proportion of births attended by skilled health professionals, proportion of judges, prosecutors and lawyers trained in human rights. üü Outcome: this type measures the results of efforts to further human rights. For example: reported cases of torture, literacy rates (disaggregated by population groups). üü Indicators are explicitly or implicitly mentioned in recommendations from the human rights mechanisms. For example: • The Committee recommends that the State party verifies and ensures the implementation of labour legislation on occupational health and safety conditions, including through regular inspections and training of employers and employees, and ensuring access to adequate compensation for injury and work-related diseases for employees and their families. b) Invite the groups to identify possible indicators (explicitly or implicitly) mentioned in the three recommendations they have included in the implementation plan template. Task them with including the indicators identified in their respective template. Indicate that they have 15 minutes to complete this task before resuming in plenary. TIP ÎÎAlternatively you can invite the OHCHR human rights indicators team as resource persons for your training and jointly develop and conduct a tailored training session on indicators. Step 9: Groups’ presentations and discussion in plenary  Duration 40 minutes a) Ask participants to stroll around the room to have a look at the work of the other groups, so that all can see the full model implementation plan emerging from the work of each group (5 minutes). 63
