A/HRC/7/34 page 6 19. The launch of the new OHCHR website coincided with the launch of a year-long advocacy campaign to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. With the implementation of the new website, the average number of pages viewed every day has reached 80,000. 20. The use of the new CMS will also facilitate the design of new web pages in accordance with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendations regarding access by disabled people, and the design of a template to be used by field offices to develop their own local websites which will still have the “look-and-feel” of the main site and whose content can also be in the local language. C. Media liaison 21. The Office has continued to strengthen its capacity to communicate the human rights message through the media. OHCHR staff responsible for media liaison brief the international press regularly on the activities of the Office and on the human rights programme in general. The media liaison staff participate in elaborating the communication strategy of OHCHR; accompany the High Commissioner in her field visits; draft press statements and background notes; organize media events for the High Commissioner; assist the special procedures mechanisms and the treaty bodies with their media liaison needs; and help draft and place opinion pieces and other articles in major international publications. 22. The Communication Section assisted in the placement of nine opinion articles by the High Commissioner. Thematic information kits were developed and distributed for use of the media and partners on the human rights issues of Indigenous Peoples (in English) and UDHR 60 (in all official languages). In the reporting period the Unit worked with the United Nations Information Service (UNIS), Geneva and the Treaties and Council Branch of OHCHR on two seminars to train journalists from around the world on the work of the Office in the promotion and protection of human rights. D. Public outreach programmes 1. Briefings 23. The Communications Section regularly organizes briefings for students, diplomats, journalists, public officials, academics, professors and NGOs.

Seventy-seven briefings were delivered by OHCHR staff to more than 1,900 participants in 2007 on a variety of issues and in different languages. A general OHCHR PowerPoint presentation was developed as an introduction to be used by speakers in briefings. 24.
