A/HRC/31/3 aim at ensuring that negotiations lead to decision-making that complies with human rights. OHCHR provided input on ways to reform the investment treaty system and conducted research on State-investor contracts and human rights. 70. In February, OHCHR co-organized a climate justice dialogue with the Mary Robinson Foundation, as a result of which several States agreed to share best practices and knowledge between human rights and climate experts. OHCHR advocated for human rights considerations to be integrated in the outcome document of the Twenty-first Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which was adopted in December. 2. Economic, social and cultural rights 71. On 15 September, OHCHR and United Nations partners launched an online platform on social protection floors and human rights to provide States and practitioners with tools for implementing the right to social security. 72. OHCHR supported the Judicial Studies Institute of Uganda to roll out a curriculum for judges on the enforcement of economic social and cultural rights. 73. OHCHR held expert consultations in Geneva, in July, to explore the links between violations of economic, social and cultural rights and conflict and to identify the essential elements of an effective early warning system. The consultations were followed by a regional meeting in Bangkok focusing on human rights violations in the context of landrelated issues. 74. Forced evictions make millions homeless and landless, increasing poverty. OHCHR developed a factsheet on forced evictions to help all stakeholders to prevent and remedy human rights violations in that context. In Timor-Leste, OHCHR built the capacity of the national human rights institution to monitor the right to adequate housing and to prevent evictions. With the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), OHCHR continued work on eviction impact assessments to enable a realistic estimation of the costs of evictions. Against the backdrop of ever-increasing urbanization, generally accompanied by discrimination and inequalities, OHCHR advocated for the integration of human rights into decision-making on urbanization processes, also in view of the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III), to be held in Ecuador in October 2016. 75. OHCHR led the human rights work stream in the preparation of the SecretaryGeneral’s Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (2016-2030), launched in 2015. As a result, accountability and the empowerment of women, children and adolescents so that they can claim their rights are core aspects of the Strategy. OHCHR, with partners such as the United Nations Population Fund and the World Health Organization, produced detailed guidance for health policymakers and national human rights institutions on key considerations in applying a rights-based approach to sexual, reproductive, maternal, new-born and under-5 child health. In Malawi, the United Republic of Tanzania and Zambia, those issues were assessed from a human rights perspective and discussed in multi-stakeholder meetings at the national level. In Uganda, OHCHR assisted civil society in developing the capacity to monitor violations of human rights related to sexual and reproductive health. 3. Business and human rights 76. Since the Human Rights Council endorsed the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in 2011, OHCHR has supported some States, for instance Malaysia, in developing national action plans on business and human rights and engaged with companies to encourage them to more effectively manage human rights risks incurred by 12
