A/HRC/28/28 and its working groups. In 2014, following a process of re-structuring of Task Force working groups, OHCHR co-chaired the Task Force Working Group on Promoting and Protecting Human Rights and the Rule of Law While Countering Terrorism, together with the Rule of Law Unit of the Executive Office of the Secretary-General. The Working Group supports the implementation of Pillar IV of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and the mainstreaming of human rights and the rule of law into the implementation of all pillars of the Global Strategy. 11. Since October 2012, the Working Group, with the support of Denmark, Switzerland and the United States of America, has been implementing a long-term global project on human rights capacity-building for law enforcement officials involved in counter-terrorism that will provide States with training and technical assistance, thereby increasing their knowledge, understanding and implementation of the international human rights framework and the rule of law in preventing, responding to and investigating terrorism threats. The project has included needs-assessment workshops, held in Amman in April 2013, and Ouagadougou, in October 2013. Following the workshops, the Working Group has focused on the development of human rights training modules on the international legal and policy framework, special investigation techniques, countering violent extremism, communityoriented policing, detention, interviewing techniques and the use of force, all with a specific focus on the context of counter-terrorism. 12. The Working Group has progressed with the development of a series of reference guides aimed at providing practical guidance for national action on human rights-compliant counter-terrorism measures. With financial support through the United Nations CounterTerrorism Centre, reference guides on the stopping and searching of persons and on security infrastructure have been updated.5 Other guides, on detention in the context of countering terrorism, conformity of national counter-terrorism legislation with international human rights law and the right to a fair trial and due process in the context of countering terrorism are in process of publication. A guide on the proscription of organizations is also under development. 13. In implementing its workplan for 2015, the Working Group will continue to facilitate information exchange on priority human rights and rule of law concerns, including on examples of good practices in the protection of human rights in the context of counterterrorism, drawing on experiences at the national and regional levels. It will also assess the support and assistance currently given to Member States to ensure the promotion and protection of human rights in the context of counter-terrorism, identify gaps and weaknesses, and develop proposals for strengthening support for Member States in the protection of human rights in the context of counter-terrorism at the national level. 14. The Office also contributed to the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre workshop on the role of the United Nations in addressing conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism in the context of the post-2015 development agenda debate, held in New York on 7 and 8 April 2014. Chairing the session on United Nations cooperation and assistance in the fields of rule of law, human rights and good governance to address the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism, the Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights highlighted the significance of the protection of human rights and the rule of law for sustainable development and of addressing the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism.
