A/HRC/10/52 page 16 2. Mainstreaming human rights 51. The Section succeeded in bringing together various stakeholders to consult on human rights issues. Through the efforts of the Section, the United Nations country team formally established a “human rights theme group” in a bid to foster the joint United Nations effort to strengthen protection and promotion of human rights in Sierra Leone. 52. The Section worked to develop a subregional approach to addressing the human rights challenges in the subregion consistent with the recommendations of the Secretary-General on inter-mission cooperation and cross-border activities (S/2005/135). Trafficking in human beings, the establishment of a database for human rights violations in each country, and increased information sharing have been identified as critical issues. 53. In collaboration with the Human Rights Commission of Sierra Leone, the Section commenced work on the formulation of a national plan of action for human rights which is ongoing. The Section also brought together various stakeholders and interlocutors to celebrate major United Nations days, including the 16 Days of Action against Domestic Violence, Child Rights Day and International Human Rights Day, as a way of facilitating recognition and respect for human rights. In addition, the Section continued to participate in the Justice Sector Coordination Group with a view to maximizing synergy through enhanced coordination among development partners in the justice sector. 3. Closer partnership: civil society and United Nations agencies 54. A number of initiatives were taken to strengthen the partnership with civil society organizations. Human rights organizations in the country were organized into human rights committees at the district level and trained on human rights principles. Four human rights committees in Bo, Kenema, Kailahun and Bonthe were assisted with resource centres and human rights publications. The Section also donated six motorcycles to the district human rights committees in Kailahun, Kono, Port Loko, Moyamba, Bonthe and Pujehun to facilitate their mobility in furtherance of human rights activities, including in particular monitoring and reporting in their respective districts. Two regional human rights and law reference libraries were also established in Bo and Kenema. 55. The Section implemented, together with UNDP, the fifth phase of the Assisting Communities Together (ACT) Project in Sierra Leone. The ACT Project provides financial support - through grants - to human rights activities carried out by local NGOs and other human rights actors in civil society. Eleven NGOs received support to carry out human rights activities in the area of human rights education. 56. Through the Action 2 programme, the Section strengthened the capacity of the United Nations agencies along with Government ministries, the Human Rights Commission of Sierra Leone and key civil society organizations through training on a human rights-based approach to enhance integration and mainstreaming of human rights in their operations.
