A/HRC/35/20 beneficiary institution concerned. For example, the OHCHR Regional Office for the Pacific Region implemented a series of workshops to develop action plans for the police academy, while the OHCHR Human Rights Adviser in Papua New Guinea supported the development of human rights training modules for new recruits. OHCHR field presences in Iraq, Jordan, Nigeria and Tunisia have also developed a comprehensive engagement on human rights for law enforcement agencies involved in counter-terrorism activities. Strengthening gender equality in Senegal by reviewing the nationality law 20. The OHCHR Regional Office for West Africa provided technical advice to the Government of Senegal for the drafting of a new nationality code, based on recommendations of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, with a view to ending the differential treatment of men and women with regard to the transmission of nationality through marriage, childbirth and adoption. 21. In collaboration with the non-governmental organization Association of Women Jurists of Senegal, OHCHR provided technical assistance for harmonizing the Family Code with international human rights standards, which resulted in the drafting of a compendium of national laws to be harmonized, based on the recommendations of international human rights mechanisms. Support for judiciaries on investigating violence against women 22. Over the last ten years, OHCHR has developed valuable expertise on the phenomenon of gender-related killings (so-called femicide), an issue that has attracted the attention of the Human Rights Council at various sessions over the past decade, particularly in some countries in Latin America. The experience from one country context has been documented effectively and shared with other OHCHR field presences in the region, allowing OHCHR to assist in the development of relevant legal frameworks and to support State efforts to strengthen investigations and judicial responses in several countries in the region. 23. In 2011, the OHCHR Regional Office for Central America supported the elaboration of a protocol for the investigation of femicide in El Salvador, which was approved by the Attorney-General. Based on this work, a model protocol for the investigation of femicide in the Latin America region was developed jointly by OHCHR and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women). The protocol aims at ensuring that gender-specific aspects are taken into account in formulating hypotheses, in analysing crime scenes and in identifying necessary expert evidence. Government of Thailand and the United Nations join forces to develop standards for the treatment of women prisoners 24. In 2009, the Government of Thailand submitted a resolution to the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, a subsidiary body of the Economic and Social Council, which recognized the vulnerability of women incarcerated in a system built principally for men. The resolution set in motion a series of meetings that culminated in the adoption by the General Assembly in December 2010 of the first set of United Nations rules focused on women prisoners: the United Nations Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-custodial Measures for Women Offenders (Bangkok Rules). OHCHR, through its regional office in Bangkok, contributed to the final drafting of the Bangkok Rules at an expert meeting organized by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and hosted by the Government of Thailand in November 2009 in Bangkok. Supporting the application by European Union member States of a human rights-based approach to trafficking and border control 25. The OHCHR Regional Office for Europe, together with UNODC, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the International Labour Organization (ILO) and UN-Women, provided technical support to a number of European Union entities, including the European Parliament’s Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, in their efforts to 5
