A/HRC/7/58 page 10 A. Greater country engagement 29. In 2007, OHCHR strengthened its country engagement efforts through monitoring activities, technical cooperation and assistance, documentation of cases, increased deployment of human rights staff to countries, regional offices and peace missions and a clear mandate to mainstream all human rights at all levels. Support for States and field presences has also taken the form of investigations, publications, reports, human rights capacity-building, advice and assistance in the development or reform of legislation and public policies, enhanced thematic expertise and work on transitional justice and economic, social and cultural rights. 30. Field presences monitored cases of violations of economic, social and cultural rights. The field presences in Angola, Cambodia, Cameroon, Mexico, Nepal, the Sudan, Tajikistan and Timor-Leste monitored forced evictions, land management and displacement cases in relation to the right to an adequate standard of living, including the rights to adequate housing and food. For example, OHCHR-Cambodia has been monitoring forced evictions in Phnom-Penh. OHCHR-Nepal has been monitoring caste-based discrimination, including forced eviction and access to water of Dalits, particularly through the viewpoint of access to justice. 31. In the area of peace missions, conflict and post-conflict work, in Sierra Leone, the Human Rights and Rule of Law section of the United Nations Integrated Office in Sierra Leone has been monitoring the realization of the right to education by assessing the availability of educational materials, staffing, as well as child pregnancy rates and school dropouts, in the light of the Government’s education policy. Hospitals and health centres are also monitored to assess the availability of medicines and medical personnel and to offer technical support concerning international standards on public health policies. The human rights component of the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) issued a report entitled “Human rights in Liberia’s rubber plantations: tapping into the future”, in which it documented labour and living conditions on rubber plantations. The UNMIL human rights component is following up on the recommendations made in the report. In Uganda, OHCHR, in partnership with the Uganda Human Rights Commission, conducted research and prepared a policy report on property and land restitution for returning internally displaced persons in Northern Uganda. 32. Human rights field presences have also supported processes of legal protection and reform of legislation on economic, social and cultural rights. For example, OHCHR-Colombia provided assistance in the drafting of an anti-discrimination bill, of relevance for all human rights, and OHCHR-Guatemala assisted in drafting legislation on the right to food. In the Sudan, the field presence supported capacity-building of the National Assembly to harmonize national laws with the country’s international human rights treaty obligations, including those relevant to economic, social and cultural rights, under the interim national Constitution. 33. Field presences have also helped with the development and implementation of national public policies relevant to economic, social and cultural rights. In Burundi and Sierra Leone, OHCHR collaborated with the ministries of education and other national partners in implementing national policy on human rights education. OHCHR-Mexico gave particular emphasis to working on policies for women and indigenous communities. In doing so, it assisted in incorporating a human rights perspective into the national development plan for 2007-2012, including the rights to education, health, an adequate standard of living and labour rights. In the Sudan, support was provided for capacity-building in the analysis of public budget process from
