A/HRC/5/9 page 2 Summary The present report has been prepared pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 3/3 of 8 December 2006 and, as stated during the 10th meeting of the fourth session of the Council, this resolution requested the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to consult with the Government of Lebanon on the report and its findings and on the relevant recommendations contained therein, and to report to the Council. The Commission of Inquiry on Lebanon was established by Human Rights Council resolution S-2/1 of 11 August 2006. It presented its report (A/HRC/3/2) to the Council on 1 December 2006. Following the adoption by the Council of resolution 3/3, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights held consultations with the Government of Lebanon and sent letters to a wide range of organizations and agencies whose mandates related to one or more recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry. The letters sent by the Office of the High Commissioner drew the attention of these organizations and agencies to the report of the Commission of Inquiry, and asked for information on their programmes and activities related to the recommendations of the Commission. This report is based on information received from partner organizations and agencies, and describes the steps taken by the High Commissioner and her Office as well as a wide range of organizations and agencies to implement Human Rights Council resolution 3/3 and the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry as contained in its report. The present report outlines a wide range of activities and programmes launched by the international community that give concrete follow-up to the Commission of Inquiry’s recommendations. It also highlights the importance of integrating human rights in any recovery process to ensure increased sustainability, as can be seen clearly in post-war Lebanon. The range of activities giving effect to the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry is to be warmly welcomed, as are all efforts to integrate human rights in the reconstruction process.
