A/HRC/7/38 page 8 28. In addition, given the importance of constitution-making and constitutional reforms in the context of democratic transitions and peace building, OHCHR has worked with the rest of the United Nations system towards a coordinated approach to constitution-building, and this work will continue in 2008 and 2009. My Office is currently engaged in an exercise to further develop its relationships with key actors in and outside the United Nations system, with a view to strengthening its legal and human rights advisory capacities in this area and developing a publication on this subject. IV. STRENGTHENING COUNTRY ENGAGEMENT 29. Throughout 2007, engagement at the country level remained at the core of OHCHR action, not only through the consolidation and establishment of field presences, but also through enhanced dialogue with and capacity-building of national counterparts. Dynamic partnerships within the United Nations system and interaction with regional organizations were also a priority of my Office to further strengthen country engagement. In addition, OHCHR continued to improve the capacity of its headquarters to support country engagement. In particular, its rapid response capacity was significantly strengthened, which enabled my Office to initiate and support various emergency or technical missions. 30. At the end of 2007, OHCHR was running and supporting a total of 47 field presences, including regional offices, country offices, human rights components in United Nations peace missions and human rights advisers in United Nations country teams. 31. By the end of 2007, my Office had 11 country offices at the country level,2 including a new office in La Paz, which was established early in 2007. As envisaged in the Strategic Management Plan for 2006-2007, the offices in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia (Belgrade) were closed in June 2007 while the office in Kosovo was strengthened in light of remaining human rights concerns and upcoming challenges. 32. I welcome the renewal of memorandums of understanding with OHCHR by the Government of Nepal3 in May 2007, Colombia in September 2007 and the Government of Cambodia in November 2007.4 The latter agreement, extending the mandate of OHCHR in Cambodia for 18 months, was reached on the understanding that negotiations aimed at concluding a standard agreement for future operations of the office would resume in 2008. 2 Country offices in Angola, Bolivia, Cambodia, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Nepal, Togo and Uganda, as well as presences in Kosovo (Serbia) and Palestine. 3 A report of the High Commissioner on the human rights situation and activities of her office, including technical cooperation in Nepal, is being submitted to the Human Rights Council at its seventh session. 4 A report of the Secretary-General on the role and achievements of OHCHR in assisting the Government and people of Cambodia in the promotion and protection of human rights is being submitted to the Human Rights Council (A/HRC/7/75).
