A/HRC/34/28 66. Good governance and human rights are central to the work of the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia when supporting efforts to address violent extremism and terrorism, and in the management of transboundary water resources. 67. The Office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for the Great Lakes Region supported the Governments in the region in the implementation of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework and the promotion of good governance, the rule of law and human rights. Activities have included support for the establishment of a judicial cooperation network with the aim of preventing and suppressing transboundary organized crimes, and efforts to facilitate exchange and expertise, for example, on access to justice for victims of sexual and gender-based violence or election-related violence. 68. Other examples of activities undertaken can be found in Papua New Guinea, the Southern Caucasus and Comoros, include training of police officers on integrating human rights in law enforcement, support and advice in the context of the establishment of a national human rights commission and the promotion of national and regional dialogue. 2. Rule of Law Unit of the Executive Office of the Secretary-General 69. The Rule of Law Unit of the Executive Office of the Secretary-General has contributed to good governance through a rule of law-based approach. Its efforts to promote and protect human rights include providing support to Member States in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. 70. The Unit supported Member States in the process leading to the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through, inter alia, its contribution to the preparation of an issues brief on conflict prevention, post-conflict peacebuilding and the promotion of durable peace, the rule of law and governance. It also organized panel discussions focusing on the rule of law as a driver of inclusive development opportunities and on ways to measure rule of law institutions and services to inform programming and decision-making. The Unit continues to provide input in support of the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 16, as well as on its measurement and reporting. 71. The rule of law has been promoted throughout the United Nations Organization as a principle of governance linked to human rights, specifically relating it and transitional justice to international human rights norms and standards. This priority has been exemplified by the development of guidance notes for the engagement of the United Nations in specific areas of the rule of law, and the Unit’s work to incorporate the rule of law into system-wide policies, including in support for Member States in countering terrorism and preventing violent extremism. 72. The Unit has also supported a number of informal briefings in order to encourage dialogue between the United Nations entities and States on the rule of law, facilitated the sharing of national practices to advance the rule of law and convened events to address prison reform, watchdog institutions and e-justice. 3. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs 73. Although the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs does not have policies, programmes or activities aimed specifically at strengthening good governance or directly engaging in peacebuilding, its humanitarian activities support peace consolidation efforts and the protection of civilians, and their return and reintegration following displacement. The Office supports shared analysis and effective coordination among humanitarian, human rights, development and peace consolidation actors. 11
