An OHCHR helpline number was set up in July 2010, and it is estimated that, as of February 2011, more than 1,500 calls had been received. With regard to reports of ongoing or imminent human rights violations or threats thereof, OHCHR and its national NGO partners immediately respond through the deployment of teams which, depending on the situation, take appropriate action, including at times by raising concerns with local lawenforcement and judicial bodies. In other cases, victims, individuals at risk and others who seek consultations directly approach human rights officers. 29. OHCHR has partnered with local legal NGOs in Osh and Jalal-Abad, which have provided free legal assistance for those who have reported human rights violations that occurred either during or following the June 2010 violence. To date, more than 7,000 consultations have taken place. 30.

In addition to supporting the United Nations Country Team in Kyrgyzstan and ensuring human rights mainstreaming in United Nations activities, ROCA played a key role within the humanitarian country team in response to the crisis that was caused by the outbreak of violence in June 2010. Timing was of critical importance in the aftermath of the June 2010 events; its capacity to take action allowed the Office to play a preventive role and to undertake protection activities which are essential to integrating human rights into the broader humanitarian response. 33. ROCA has also regularly briefed the Special Representative of the SecretaryGeneral, Head of the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia, on the human rights situation.
