Milestones of the UN Reform
  • 1993 UN World Conference on Human Rights,
    Vienna
  • Post of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
    created (GA Res. 48/141)
  • 1997 SG Reform Programme-human rights are
    inherent to the promotion of peace, security,
    economic prosperity and social equity
  • 2000 Millennium Summit/Declaration
  • 2002 SG Agenda for Further Change- human rights
    are a bedrock requirement for development
  • 2005 SG reform report In larger Freedom
  • World Summit Outcome Document- support the
    further mainstreaming of human rights throughout
    the UN System
  • 2006 HLPR System-wide coherence

Substantive Linkages
  • Even if he can vote to choose his rulers, a
    young man with AIDS who cannot read or write and
    lives on the brink of starvation is not truly
    free. Equally, even if she earns enough to live,
    a woman who lives in the shadow of daily violence
    and has no say in how her country is run is not
    truly free.
  • Larger freedom implies that men and women
    everywhere have the right to be governed by their
    own consent, under law, in a society where all
    individuals can, without discrimination or
    retribution, speak, worship and associate freely.
  • They must also be free from want- so that the
    death sentences of extreme poverty and infectious
    disease are lifted from their lives- and free
    from fear- so that their lives and livelihoods
    are not ripped apart by violence and war
  • Reform report In Larger Freedom, 2005

Human Development Is the process of enhancing
peoples capabilities to expand choices and
opportunities so that each person can lead a life
of respect and value freedom and dignity need
the legal guarantees of human rights to avoid
being threatened
The linkages between
and Human rights All people have claims to
social arrangements that protect them from the
worst abuses and deprivations-and that secure the
freedom for a life of dignity The realization
of human rights requires capacities that
development can make possible
8
Gender MainstreamingAssesses the implications
for both women and men of any planned action, and
makes both women and mens concern integral to
all phases of the programming processUltimate
goal is gender equality
The Linkages Between
and Womens Human Rights- legal demand for
non-discrimination- CEDAW is one of the core
international human rights treaties- Womens
human rights are central to the application of a
HRBA- Ultimate goal is to achieve gender
equality, and realise all human rights equally
for all women and men.

Humanitarian LawApplies in situations of
international or non-international armed
conflictIt has as its purpose to limit the
effects of war on people and objects
The Linkages Between
and Human RightsApplies in any situation
including of armed conflictboth aim to
safeguard human dignity in all circumstances
10
Human Rights and Violent Conflict
  • Violent conflict prevents
  • the realization of human
  • rights
  • Non realization of human
  • rights may lead to violent
  • conflict
  • Violations of human rights often represent
    manifestations of conflict emergence or escalation
  • There is a reciprocal relationship
  • between human rights and conflict
  • prevention. Violations of human
  • rights are a root cause of conflict
  • they are also a common
  • consequence of it.
  • UN SG Progress Report on the
  • Prevention of Armed Conflict (2006)

11
Human Rights and MDGsReciprocal relationship
  • Similarities
  • Common objectives
  • Both provide tools for accountability
  • Progressively realized
  • Similar guiding principles
  • Gender equality is integral to both human rights
    and the MDGs
  • Programming complementarities
  • Identify for each MDG the interrelated human
    rights and the steps to be taken to realize those
    rights in national context
  • Human rights standards add quality to MDGs
    numeric targets
  • human rights adds quality to the process for
    achieving MDGs
  • Human rights help reduce disparities in human
    development

12
UN Agency and Interagency Commitments to Human
Rights
  • Agency level
  • HR are Integrated in the mandates and policies of
    UN agencies, funds, programmes and specialized
    agencies
  • Inter-agency level
  • UN Common Understanding on HRBA to Development
  • Action 2 Plan of Action (UNDG, ECHA and OHCHR)
  • Increasing number of UNCTs have adopted the HRBA
  • Revised CCA/UNDAF Guidelines

13
Conclusion
  • The normative value
  • The political environment
  • Substantive linkages
  • The institutional response

What are Human Rights?
Universal legal guarantees...civil, political,
economic, social and culturalprotect human
values (freedom, equality, dignity) inherent to
individuals and, to some extent,
groupsreflected in international norms and
standards legally binding on States.
16
Human Rights Obligations
Duty-bearers obligation to
Respect
Protect
Fulfill
prevent others from interfering with the
enjoyment of a right
refrain from interfering with the enjoyment of
the right
adopt appropriate measures towards full
realization of the right

Womens Human Rights
  • The rights in all international human rights
    treaties belong equally to women and men, without
    discrimination.
  • CEDAW requires comprehensive measures to
    eliminate discrimination against women in all
    areas of their lives.
  • More than 90 of UN Member States are parties to
    CEDAW
  • Standards are found in
  • CEDAW
  • ICCPR ICESCR
  • Other International Treaties,
  • e.g. CRC
  • Regional treaties e.g. African Charters
    Protocol on Womens Rights

19
International Humanitarian Law
The Four Geneva Conventions 1) on the care of
the wounded and sick members of armed forces in
the field 2) on the care of the wounded, sick
and shipwrecked members of armed forces at
sea 3) on the treatment of prisoners of war 4)
on the protection of civilian persons in
time of war
Is a set of rules which seek to limit the
effects of armed conflict Protects persons who
are not or are no longer taking part in
hostilities Restricts the means and methods of
warfare

Regional Human Rights Systems
  • Instruments
  • Europe
  • European Convention for the Protection of human
    Rights and fundamental freedoms
  • Americas
  • American Convention on Human Rights and San Jose
    pact on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
  • Africa
  • African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights

  • HR
  • Inter-American Court of Human
  • Rights
  • African Commission on Human and
  • Peoples Rights
  • African Court on Human and
  • Peoples Rights

21
National Human Rights Protection Systems
  • Constitutional and Legislative frameworks
  • Effective Institutions (Parliaments,
    Governments, Judiciary, public administration, HR
    institutions)
  • Policies, procedures and processes
  • Vibrant civil society

22
Links between international, regional and
national systems
  • International and regional norms require national
    implementation
  • to be effective
  • National norms should be consistent with
    international and
  • regional Standards
  • International and regional judicial protection
    when national
  • remedies have been exhausted
  • International and regional protection is
    complementary

23
International MechanismsThe Role of Treaty
Bodies
  • Monitor and facilitate the Implementation of the
    Treaty through
  • Exam of State Party reports and additional
    sources of information
  • observations and recommendations
  • General Comments on HR Standards contained in the
    treaty
  • Exam of individual complaints (some of them)
  • Confidential inquiries (some of them)

24
Treaty bodies
25
The Human Rights Council
  • What does it do ?
  • Promotes universal protection
  • Addresses and prevents violations
  • Develops international law
  • Reviews compliance of Member States
  • Responds to emergencies
  • International forum for dialogue

What is it ? A subsidiary body of the General
Assembly composed of Members States. It replaces
the UN Commission on Human Rights

The Human Rights Based Approachin the
Programming Process
Session 3
Action 2 Learning Human Rights Together
31
What is a Human Rights Based Approach?
  • The development process is normatively based on
    international HR standards and principles
  • It recognizes human beings as rights-holders and
    establishes obligations for duty-bearers.
  • It focuses on discriminated and marginalized
    groups
  • It aims for the progressive achievement of all
    human rights
  • It gives equal importance to the outcome and
    process of development

32
Why a human rights-based approach to
development?
  • Intrinsic value
  • based on universal values
  • Universal legal standards for a life with dignity
  • Instrumental to development strategies
  • Addresses power inequalities and discrimination
  • Deals with weaknesses in accountability systems
  • Objective framework to manage conflicts and seek
    redress
  • Institutional reasons (UN comparative advantage)
  • Impartiality to deal with sensitive issues
  • Holistic analysis and integral responses to
    problems

33
The UN Common Understanding on the HRBA
  1. All programmes of development co-operation,
    policies and technical assistance should further
    the realization of human rights as laid down in
    the UDHR and other international human rights
    instruments
  2. Human rights standards and principles guide all
    development cooperation and programming in all
    sectors and phases of the programming process
  3. Development cooperation contributes to the
    development of the capacities of duty-bearers
    to meet their obligations and/or of
    rights-holders to claim their rights

GOAL
PROCESS
OUTCOME
34
  1. All programmes of development co-operation should
    further the realization of human rights as laid
    down in the UDHR and other international human
    rights instruments

GOAL
  • The realization of human rights is the ultimate
    goal of all development programmes
  • HRBA influences the identification of UN
    strategic priorities
  • Programming is informed by the recommendations of
    International HR bodies and mechanisms

35
Programming informed by Human Rights Mechanisms
  • TBs SPs Observations
  • Analysis of development issues from a HR lens
  • TBs SPs Recommendations
  • Are tools for UN programming to address problems
    identified
  • TBs general comments
  • Identifies the precise content of development
    objectives by clarifying the meaning of rights.

36
2) Human rights standards and principles guide
all development cooperation and programming in
all sectors and in all phases of the programming
process
PROCESS
  • Human Rights standards and principles improve the
    quality of outcomes and processes
  • Human rights standards delineate the playing
    field in which development takes place
  • HR principles provide the playing rules for the
    development process.

38
Human Rights Standard
The minimum normative content of the right the
type of claims and obligations that the right
implies at the minimum in practice
  • in programming, the standards guide the
  • Identification of development challenges as
    human rights issues (Assessment)
  • analysis of roles and capacities of
    rights-holders and duty bearers
  • definition of development objectives
  • formulation of corresponding benchmarks and
    indicators

39
Human Rights Principles
  • Universality and inalienability
  • Indivisibility
  • Interdependence and Inter-relatedness
  • Equality and non-discrimination
  • Participation and inclusion
  • Accountability and rule of law

40
HRBA Requires Higher Cultural Sensitivity
  • Understanding beliefs and values facilitates the
    implementation of the HRBA
  • Cultural sensitivity allows for higher degrees of
    programmatic ownership by communities
  • However, cultural claims cannot be invoked to
    justify human rights violations
  • Some cultural practices can be human rights
    claims
  • CEDAW requires the modification of cultural
    patterns and customary practices where they
    contribute to gender inequality

41
3) Development cooperation contributes to the
development of the capacities of duty-bearers
to meet their obligations and/or of
rights-holders to claim their rights
OUTCOME
  • Focus on relation individuals-State
    (claims-obligations)
  • Shifting development from service delivery as
    primary focus to building capacity to claim and
    fulfil human rights
  • States require capacity to strengthen national
    protection systems and comply with their
    obligations

42
Rights-holder and Duty-bearers
  • Right-holders
  • 6,652,595,567 persons
  • Every individual, either a man woman or child, of
    any race, ethnic group or social condition
  • To some extent groups
  • Duty-bearers
  • Much less
  • Primarily States
  • In some cases individuals have specific
    obligations
  • Individuals and private entities have generic
    responsibilities towards the community to respect
    the rights of others

Practicing the HRBAGroup Work Instructions
Session 4
Action 2 Learning Human Rights Together
46
Principles of Universality Inalienability
HR principle of Universality requires That no
one is left out or excluded from human rights
  • Implications for National HR Protection Systems
  • Public Policies and programmes should have
  • Disaggregated data to identify difficult cases of
    exclusion and marginalization
  • Specific strategies in response to this caseload
  • Eg. Polio vaccination campaigns

47
Principles of Indivisibility Inter-relatedness
HR principles of inter-relatedness and
indivisibility requires Equal recognition and
protection of rights
  • Implications for National Protection Systems
  • Legal frameworks
  • Should not privilege the protection of certain
    rights to the detriment of others
  • Public Policies should
  • Be based on holistic analysis of development
    problems and provide integral and multi-sectoral
    responses
  • State institutions
  • Ensure inter-institutional and multi-sectoral
    coordination
  • Include those institutions in charge of
    protection, monitoring and accountability

48
Principles of Equality Non-Discrimination
  • Equality and Non-discrimination obliges states
    to
  • Eradicate Legal, institutional, interpersonal
    and structural discrimination
  • Implications for National Protection Systems
  • Legal frameworks should
  • Derogate discriminatory legislation
  • Be conducive to the enjoyment of human rights by
    all
  • Public institutions should ensure
  • Representation of marginalized or excluded groups
    in the public administration and in decision
    making bodies
  • Public services accessible and sensitive to
    gender, age and cultural differences
  • Appropriate judicial and administrative redress
    mechanisms
  • Public policies should
  • Challenge models of appropriation and
    concentration of resources leading to structural
    discrimination and exclusion
  • Take affirmative steps to reduce social and
    economic disparities
  • Promote education and public awareness

49
Principle of Participation
HR principles of Participation requires FREE,
ACTIVE, MEANINGFUL and INCLUSIVE PARTICIPATION
  • Implications for National Protection Systems
  • Policies, processes and procedures should
    provide
  • opportunities for participation in planning and
    development
  • Access to relevant information
  • Capacities to marginalized groups to formulate
    proposals
  • Institutional mechanisms should
  • Be based on democratic principles
  • Not disempower existing democratic or traditional
    structures
  • Civil society should
  • Be active, independent and with capacities
  • Represent the voice of marginalized and excluded
    groups
  • Have control over decision making processes

50
Principle of Accountability
Principle of Accountability requires States and
other duty bearers to be answerable for the
observance of human rights
  • Implications for Human Rights Protection Systems
  • State institutions should
  • Be provided with sufficient resources,
    responsibilities and independent authority to
    effectively monitor the Government
  • Eg. Independent human rights parliamentary
    bodies, National Human Rights Institutions,
    judges, courts and legal counsel
  • State to cooperate with international Human
    Rights Systems
  • Complying timely with international reporting
    obligations
  • Inviting Special procedures and providing
    information
  • Implementing the TB and SP recommendations

51
Principle of Accountability
Principle of Accountability requires Accessible,
effective and independent mechanisms and
procedures of redress
  • Implications for Human Rights Protection Systems
  • Legal frameworks should
  • Be In conformity with human rights norms
  • Establish conditions, procedures and mechanisms
    for RH to claim their rights and DB to comply
    with their obligations
  • Public policies should
  • Take progressive steps to address the weaknesses
    in the accountability systems
  • Implement the human rights obligations of the
    state at a central, regional and local level

52
Principle of Accountability
Principle of Accountability requires Free and
independent media, and groups of human rights
defenders representative of men, women and
marginalized or excluded groups
  • Implications for Human Rights Protection Systems
  • An active rights sensitive civil society should
  • Monitor the State compliance with its human
    rights obligations
  • Articulate concerns of the society and advocate
    for social positive change
  • Provide information and shadow reports to
    international human rights mechanisms
  • eg. Campaign on access to retro-viral medication
    in South Africa

53
Gender and age dimension in crises and
emergencies
  • Crises and emergencies can have very different
    impacts on men, women and children.
  • Women and children almost always make up a large
    majority of displaced and refugee populations.

56
When to begin applying the HRBA
GATHERING INFORMATION On indicators, policies
plans from Surveys, research documents, reports
ASSESSMENT and ANALYSIS
SELECTION Of areas of cooperation
57
HRBA to Information Gathering
  • What information
  • Civil, cultural, economic, political and social
    context
  • Disaggregated according to normative grounds of
    non-discrimination,
  • e.g. sex, age, ethnicity, rural and urban, etc.
  • Sources of information
  • Rely on national information, assessments and
    analyses
  • Variety of sources including information from
    International, regional and national human rights
    mechanisms
  • Information and analysis process
  • Participatory, inclusive, accountable and
    sensitive to cultures

58
HRBA to Assessment
  • Purpose of the Assessment
  • Identify main human rights and development
    challenges
  • What is happening? To whom? Where?
  • e.g. 2/3 rural indigenous girls drop out of
    primary school after the second year of enrolment
  • Characteristics of a development challenge
  • It should be stated as a human rights issue
  • Formulation should be people focused

International HR mechanisms provide a reading
of development challenges from a human rights lens
identify the applicable human right standards
(claims and duties)
59
HRBA to Analysis Causal analysis (I)
  • Analysis of immediate, underlying and structural
    causes of development challenges identified
  • Tools
  • Problem tree analysis detects root causes of
    human rights problems (vertically) and the
    inter-relatedness of rights (horizontally and
    vertically)
  • Additional optional tools for in-depth legal,
    policy, institutional and budget analysis

The problem tree was not born as a HRBA tool but
it can help identify main patterns of
discrimination, exclusion and other root causes
of problems
60
The Problem Tree
Effects
The problem tree is a tool for consensus
building and participation as it allows to agree
with rights-holders and duty bearers on the main
development challenges and root causes
Causes
61
Problem 1 HIV/AIDS
Problem 2 Girls Education
62
Causal analysis why?
Development challenge/Rights not fulfilled
63
Group InstructionsCausal analysis/problem tree
  • Each group selects one MDG
  • Identify one development challenge or problem
    manifestation,
  • discuss and identify immediate, underlying and
    root causes
  • Build a problem tree
  • Select one chain of the problem tree and identify
    rights that are not being fulfilled

Each group will nominate one gender and one
conflict champion
64
HRBA to AnalysisRole Pattern Analysis (II)
  • Rights holders
  • Who are they?
  • What are their claims?
  • Duty bearers
  • Who are they?
  • What are their duties?

Check what the human right standards say about
their claims and duties
Check also what role is expected from
rights-holders duty bearers in national laws,
procedures and policies
65
HRBA to AnalysisCapacity Gap Analysis (III)
  • Capacity gaps
  • Knowledge
  • Responsibility / motivation / leadership
  • Authority
  • Access to and control over resources
  • Gaps in NHRPS

capacity development is not only a technocratic
process. It also entails political, societal,
legal and institutional change
Treaty Bodies and Special Procedures can
identify capacity gaps
66
Group InstructionsRole and capacity gap analysis
  • Take the same causal chain for which you have
    identified unfulfilled rights
  • Identify Rights- Holders and Duty-Bearers, their
    roles and responsibilities
  • Identify related elements of capacity gap and
    write them on flipchart (using table format)

67
Selecting areas of cooperation-Strategic analysis
HRBA promotes a practise shift from direct
service delivery to capacity development
  • Analyze UN comparative advantages in
  • ?Direct service delivery ?Advocacy and social
    mobilization
  • ? Information and awareness ?Training and
    education
  • ? Monitoring and observation ?Policy and legal
    advise
  • Partnership analysis
  • HRBA broadens the spectrum of partners,
    Including those belonging to National Human
    Rights Protection Systems

68
HRBA to Results Based Programme Planning
Impact Realization of human rights, as laid
down in international instruments
? Outcome Increased performance of
rights- holders and duty-bearers
? Outputs Your tangible contribution to
capacity development of RHs, DBs and NHRPS

1-4 years
70
Group Instructions Designing strategic
interventions
  • Look at the Rights Holders and the Duty Bearers
    involved, and the capacity gaps that have been
    identified
  • Discuss and agree on interventions that would
    bring about positive change on the realization of
    rights (at output and outcome level)

71
HRBA to Monitoring Evaluation
Based on claims and obligations in human rights
standards
  • What to measure?
  • Programme performance (Impact, Outcomes, Output)
  • Programme process Participation, accountability
    and non-discrimination
  • Programme context
  • existence of laws, policies and institutional
    mechanisms
  • Duty-bearers efforts to meet their obligations
  • Right-holders disparities in enjoying rights

based on human rights principles
Under HRBA, the monitoring of the context is
equally important as the monitoring of the
programme performance and process
72
HRBA to Monitoring Evaluation
  • How to measure?
  • Identify the rights-holders and duty-bearers who
    will contribute to the ME process either as
  • -Information providers, for example line
    ministries
  • -Independent information interpreters, for
    example National Human Rights Institutions
  • Bring them together in a participatory process
  • Ensure access to available information and data
    on the programme

HRBA calls for mechanisms of participation and
programme accountability
73
Group InstructionsMonitoring Evaluation
  • Human rights principles and standards should
    guide Monitoring and Evaluation
  • Review you results chain and discuss the
    implications of the statement above

74
HRBA in UN Programming Frameworks CHAPs and CAPs
  • The CHAP allows for synchronization of UN
    programmes
  • The CAP is a tool to coordinate planning,
    implementation and monitoring
  • Human rights and humanitarian principles help to
    ensure that priority actions are focused upon
    those in greatest need
