section 8.7. However, OHCHR’s policy position is that there is no fundamental inconsistency between action plans and the “mainstreaming” imperative. Experience in the development and implementation of national action plans to date is helping to provide a clearer picture of the conditions likely to make national action plans effective. Apart from political commitment and the various “process” and “content” factors discussed earlier, the value and practical impact of human rights action plans will be maximized to the extent that the plans and their coordinating committees can function as effective vehicles for the integration of human rights into national-level development planning frameworks and “mainstream” policy sectors. This Handbook will be revised in the light of further accumulated experience. Information, advice and assistance in the development of national human rights actions will continue to be made available by OHCHR on request. 108
