A/HRC/19/48 violations, linked to the various armed conflicts and the weakness of State institutions. The High Commissioner commends the initiatives taken by the Government, such as the draft laws introduced and agencies or entities created towards the protection of human rights. However, the High Commissioner is preoccupied by the often stalled parliamentary process, the difficulties to implement these initiatives and their illfunding. Beyond budgetary constraints, major and fundamental obstacles to the improvement of the human rights situation remain, notably corruption and impunity. A. Recommendation to the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the international community 63. The High Commissioner welcomes the steps taken by the Congolese Government to implement some of the recommendations made by the Office of the High Commissioner and other human rights mechanisms, as well as the commitments made by the Government during the universal periodic review. In order for the implementation of the recommendations to be effective, a coherent and consolidated action plan needs to be further developed, and measures included in this plan further specified as previously recommended. The High Commissioner therefore recommends that the Government further enhance its dialogue and cooperation with international human rights mechanisms. The High Commissioner calls upon the international community to assist the Congolese Government in this process. B. Recommendation to the Human Rights Council 64. The Human Rights Council should remain actively seized of the human rights situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and ensure that the situation is continuously monitored by human rights mechanisms. The Human Rights Council should also call on the Government to step up its dialogue with the international community to further concretize and implement the plan of action for the implementation of recommendations on human rights. The High Commissioner stands ready to continue submitting a yearly report on the situation of human rights in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 19
