Description

Regional consultations of National Mechanisms for Implementation, Reporting and Follow-up (NMIRFs)-Africa

HRC resolution 42/30 requested the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (hereafter OHCHR) “to organize five regional consultations to exchange experiences and good practices relating to the establishment and development of national mechanisms for implementation, reporting and follow-up, and their impact on effective implementation of human rights obligations and commitments, in consultation with all relevant stakeholders.”

Originally planned to be held in Paraguay, Ethiopia, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon and Thailand, the consultations will take place remotely due to the prevailing circumstances.

The consultation organized on 2-3 December will suit time zones compatible with Africa. They will be held with interpretation in English and French. The online platform will provide captioning. The link to the meeting will be sent to registered participants.

Consultations régionales sur les Mécanismes Nationaux de mise en oeuvre, d'établissement de rapports et de suivi- (NMIRFs)- Afrique

La résolution 42/30 du Conseil des droits de l’homme a demandé au Haut-Commissariat des Nations Unies aux droits de l’homme (ci-après le HCDH) «d’organiser cinq consultations régionales consacrées à des échanges de données d’expérience et de bonnes pratiques concernant la mise en place et le perfectionnement de mécanismes nationaux de mise en œuvre, d’établissement de rapports et de suivi, et leur incidence sur la mise en œuvre effective des obligations et engagements en matière de droits de l’homme, en consultation avec toutes les parties concernées.»

Initialement prévues au Paraguay, en Éthiopie, au Kirghizstan, au Liban et en Thaïlande, les consultations se dérouleront à distance en raison des circonstances actuelles. Les consultations qui se tiendront les 2-3 décembre conviendront aux fuseaux horaires compatibles avec l'Afrique. Elles se dérouleront avec interprétation en anglais et français. La plateforme en ligne fournira un sous-titrage. Le lien vers la réunion sera envoyé aux participants qui se seront enregistrés.
