A/HRC/28/3 100. OHCHR strengthened the capacity of human rights components of peace missions and fact-finding bodies to investigate sexual and gender-based violence. The three-day training on investigating conflict-related sexual violence was delivered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Sudan (Darfur). 101. In Côte d’Ivoire, a committee of national experts on conflict-related sexual violence, supported by the Human Rights Division of the United Nations Operation in Côte d’Ivoire, examined several cases of conflict-related sexual violence transmitted by legal aid clinics in order to ensure corrective and judicial measures. The committee was established to elaborate a plan of action to sensitize members of the armed forces and the population on the prevention of and responses to sexual violence. 102. OHCHR provided States and civil society actors with technical assistance and capacity development on trafficking and human rights. It supported regional and interagency frameworks on trafficking, and continued to raise awareness of linkages between trafficking and human rights. 103. OHCHR, as co-lead entity of the Team of Experts on the Rule of Law and Sexual Violence in Conflict under Security Council resolution 1888 (2009), continued to provide technical advice and capacity-building assistance to national authorities in addressing accountability for conflict-related sexual violence. Support was provided to the Central African Republic, Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea, Liberia, Somalia and South Sudan. III. Conclusions 104. Under its overall mandate, OHCHR continued to provide substantive support to human rights mechanisms with a view to maximizing their efficiency and effectiveness, their responsiveness to all human rights violations and their capacity to assist States in fulfilling their human rights obligations. OHCHR worked energetically to fulfil all mandates received from the relevant intergovernmental bodies and to provide valuable advice to various stakeholders on a wide array of issues. The Office delivered a considerable number of technical assistance activities upon the request of Member States. OHCHR continued its efforts to mainstream human rights throughout the work of the United Nations, including in peace operations, development and humanitarian action. 105. Human rights must be at the core of the work of the United Nations as a whole and become a full and integral pillar of the Organization. This is supported by the Human Rights Up Front initiative, designed to strengthen prevention and response in situations where people are at risk of, or are subject to, violations of international human rights or humanitarian law. So very often, at the root of the crises confronted by the United Nations, we find a complex web of violations of economic, civil, cultural, political and social rights. Early and coordinated action across the full spectrum of human rights would achieve our goal of prevention more effectively. 106. The world needs a United Nations human rights office that is strong, resilient and able to act quickly to prevent and respond to human rights challenges. OHCHR must have the resources to fulfil its broad and critical mandate, including undertaking effective prevention and delivering support to Member States seeking to overcome obstacles, but also detecting and calling attention to human rights violations so that swift, effective and relevant action may be taken. 19
