A/HRC/27/43 closely with prison registry officers to update the lists of prisoners held pending appeal, or otherwise not having had their final judgements passed down, for follow-up with the courts. VI. Public information and human rights education 57. The Office continued its public communications and advocacy work nationwide to better promote human rights and address specific thematic issues and the needs of diverse audiences. Using a range of information tools, the Office reached out to various sectors of society, including academic institutions, the media, government officials and communities in remote provinces. In partnership with the Ministry of Information, OHCHR conducted a training session entitled “A human rights-based approach to journalism” in Siem Reap in August 2013 for media professionals from the north-western provinces. 58. During the reporting period, the dissemination of publications and other information materials by OHCHR increased in both English and Khmer. At the time of drafting, OHCHR Cambodia had printed over 30 titles in the two languages. In 2013, OHCHR published several new books including the Annotated Criminal Procedure Code in English and Khmer and Born Free and Equal: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in International Human Rights Law in Khmer. 59. Other relevant human rights materials produced in Khmer by the Office include legal texts, instruments, guidelines and factsheets. Additionally, OHCHR produced a number of promotional and informational materials, such as flyers, banners or posters to support the work of its substantive programmes. To date, the Office has distributed over 120,000 copies of publications and other information materials among government institutions, students, law professionals, journalists, NGO partners and the general public. The Office continued its popular practice of opening its doors to the general public one day a week, at which time any interested person could come to obtain human rights materials of interest. 60. The Office commemorated key international days such as Human Rights Day (in multiple activities organized by national and international partners), World Press Freedom Day (with UNESCO), the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (with the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS), International Women’s Day (with the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UNWomen)), International Labour Day (with ILO), the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, etc. OHCHR organized or joined commemoration events, distributed promotional and informational materials and issued articles to increase awareness. On Human Rights Day 2013, OHCHR contributed to numerous activities organized by local and national authorities, development partners and civil society organizations, and published an opinion piece. 61. One of the Office’s key information dissemination tools is its website. OHCHR maintains a bilingual website, which continues to be the only United Nations web presence in Khmer. All statements and publications of the Office and relevant information from Headquarters are translated and posted online in a timely manner. Materials of the United Nations and the international human rights mechanisms on Cambodia continued to be updated regularly on the website, as were the activities and highlights from the work of the Office. During the reporting period, the Office embarked on a redesign of the website and its upgrading into a dynamic website to facilitate its updating, drawing on the latest web technology. 15
