A/HRC/19/31 E/CN.6/2012/12 focused on women’s access to justice, so as to ensure system-wide coherence on the issue. UN-Women and the Office of the High Commissioner participated in the United Nations Development Group task team on aid effectiveness. As tasked by the Policy Committee, UN-Women and the Office of the High Commissioner are cooperating in developing a guidance note on reparations for conflict-related sexual violence and in this regard, have initiated a study, whose findings will be released in early 2012. 4. Both entities continued to participate in the Human Rights Mechanism of the United Nations Development Group as well as in the United Nations Rule of Law Coordination and Resource Group, with a view, in particular, to ensuring that United Nations system guidance on country programming processes advances women’s human rights and gender equality. Both entities are also members of the InterAgency Cooperation Group against Trafficking in Persons, chaired in 2011 by the Office of the High Commissioner. Both entities also participated in the work of the Global Migration Group, which organized a Symposium on Migration and Youth: Harnessing Opportunities for Development, on 17 and 18 May 2011 in New York in connection with the General Assembly Informal Thematic Debate on International Migration and Development, held on 19 May 2011. The Office of the High Commissioner participated in the consultation for Europe-based entities on the System-wide Action Plan (SWAP), a United Nations global initiative on gender equality and women’s empowerment, held in Geneva on 16 and 17 September 2011, and coordinated by UN-Women. Following the consultation, the Office of the High Commissioner decided to be one of the pilot testers of the draft SWAP between December 2011 and January 2012. Such testing will be part of the pilot review process, preparatory to the draft’s submission to the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination scheduled for April 2012. 5. UN-Women and the Office of the High Commissioner are both active members of United Nations Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict and have cooperated in the development of the United Nations system monitoring, analysis and reporting arrangements. UN-Women and the Office of the High Commissioner co-organized a panel discussion in May 2011 in New York on securing justice for women in postconflict States, which brought together a wide range of United Nations experts, representatives of Member States, academics and national and international non-governmental organizations for a richly rewarding discussion on the issue. The Office of the High Commissioner also participated in the evaluation of projects and decision-making within the context of the provision of grants by the United Nations Trust Fund in Support of Actions to Eliminate Violence against Women, which is managed by UN-Women on behalf of the United Nations system. 6. In June 2011, the Office of the High Commissioner and UN-Women, along with the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), issued a joint interagency statement on preventing gender-biased sex selection. The statement reaffirms the commitment of United Nations organizations to encouraging and supporting efforts by States, international and national organizations, civil society and communities to uphold the rights of girls and women and to address the multiple manifestations of gender discrimination, including the problem of imbalanced sex ratios caused by sex selection. It highlights the public-health and human rights dimensions and implications of the problem and provides recommendations on how best to take effective action. 4 11-63199
