REPORTING TO THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS TREATY BODIES TRAINING GUIDE: Part II — Notes for Facilitators
b) Ask one group to present to the plenary the information contained in each column of
the implementation plan template (except for the column on budget) for one of the three
recommendations they have included therein. Ask other groups to complement suggestions- if
necessary. (10 minutes).
c) Open the floor by seeking participants feedback on the following (15 minutes):
üü what did they find most difficult during the group activity (e.g., the establishment of the
prioritization criteria, etc.)?
üü what did they observe (e.g., while reviewing the recommendations; regarding the selection of
the recommendations to be included in the implementation plan; etc.)?
üü what would be the advantages of applying this step-by-step exercise to developing an
implementation plan in their own context? What would they do differently, if anything?
d) As regards indicators, highlight to participants that in order to identify and develop contextually
relevant and technically sound indicators, it is useful to draw both on further definitional and
methodological considerations, and also on the lists of illustrative indicators outlined in the
OHCHR human rights indicators guide. Mention that a participatory approach, as described in
the human rights based approach to data developed by OHCHR, will also be essential in this
context.
e) Refer them to the OHCHR human rights indicators team (hrindicators@ohchr.org), as well as to the
OHCHR publication “Human Rights Indicators: A Guide to Measurement and Implementation” for
deeper guidance and advice (10 minutes).
TIP
ÎÎIf you have asked participants to establish the clusters themselves (tip on Step 2), do
not forget to start the discussion by asking the groups if they found it difficult to agree
on the criteria for clustering the recommendations.
Step 10: Wrap-up
Duration 5 minutes
a) Wrap-up the session. Key messages for the wrap-up can include the following:
üü ad hoc arrangements are no longer viable for follow-up and implementation of
recommendations emanating from the Treaty Bodies, UPR and Special Procedures;
üü the recommendations from the human rights mechanisms are interlinked and complement and
reinforce each other, i.e. implementation of a recommendation from one mechanism may
mean that a recommendation from another mechanism is also being implemented; similar
recommendations complement each other as they provide more details on how to implement
them and how to measure implementation progress;
üü a NMRF is centrally placed to coordinate and track the follow-up and implementation of
human rights recommendations;
üü NMRFs should strategically include representatives of national statistics offices as well as from
the lead agency/Ministry responsible for Sustainable Development Goals implementation;
üü efficient follow-up of implementation of recommendations is directly related to the information
management capacity of a NMRF.
