HIGHLIGHTS OF RESULTS Human rights officer on a monitoring mission to Donetsk. © OHCHR/Ukraine Human rights integrated into UN policies and programmes Human Rights Due Diligence Policy UN Human Rights worked to ensure that standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the application of the Human Rights Due Diligence Policy (HRDDP) were adopted in almost all peace missions and political missions and that HRDDP task forces were established to oversee the implementation of the Policy. For example, SOPs were approved or revised in peace operations in the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Libya, Mali, Somalia and South Sudan. Moreover, General and Preliminary Risk Assessment Frameworks were developed by UN operations in Guinea, Lebanon and Libya. At headquarters level, the HRDDP was integrated into DPKO and DFS policies and guidance, including a number of United Nations Police guidelines. Humanitarian work UN Human Rights deployed a number of field missions to support the UN response to humanitarian crises in, for example, Bangladesh (in relation to Myanmar) and the Caribbean. UN Human Rights further maintained three human rights officers to advise the humanitarian leadership working on the Syria crisis (based in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey), and deployed six human rights monitors to north-east Nigeria to support the UN humanitarian response. The Office maintained its leadership of the Protection Cluster in the State of Palestine3 and led or co-led Protection Working Groups/Sectors in Haiti, Mauritania, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste. With these responsibilities, UN Human Rights played a key role in influencing the development of UN humanitarian plans and programmes. In the State of Palestine, for instance, the Office has been central to the development of Humanitarian Needs Overviews and Response Plans with a human rights focus and, as reflected in the 20182020 Humanitarian Needs Overview and Humanitarian Response Plan for the State of Palestine, protection concerns and enhanced respect for international humanitarian and human rights law are at the core of the UN’s humanitarian engagement in the country. In addition, the Humanitarian Needs Overviews and Response Plans of Mauritania, Nigeria and Ukraine, fully integrate human rights principles. At headquarters level, in line with its commitments at the 2016 World Humanitarian Summit, UN Human Rights developed two methodological tools on integrating human rights into humanitarian action, an assessment and analysis tool for UN Human Rights staff in emergencies and a new chapter in the manual on human rights monitoring addressing the specificities of monitoring in emergencies.
