A/HRC/4/102 page 2 Summary In its resolution 2004/43, the Commission on Human Rights requested the Secretary-General to submit a report to the Commission at its sixty-third session on “systemwide practical measures taken and planned activities to assist countries in strengthening their systems of administration of justice, in particular juvenile justice, including in post-conflict situations, with special focus on the need to strengthen the role of judges”. The present report provides examples of practical measures undertaken by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) alone, or in cooperation with other United Nations agencies, to assist countries in the strengthening of their systems of administration of justice, inter alia juvenile justice, and including in post-conflict situations, that have been undertaken or planned. Although not an exhaustive account of all activities undertaken by OHCHR, the report covers a substantial number of situations (Angola, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Burundi, Bhutan, Cameroon, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Fiji, Georgia (Abkhazia), Guatemala, Iraq, Lebanon, Nepal, Nicaragua, Palestine, South Africa and Tajikistan) where OHCHR has been involved in activities relating to the administration of justice, and covers activities undertaken from 2004 through 2006, and, where available, includes information on planned activities in 2007. Activities undertaken by OHCHR in the field of the administration of justice, including juvenile justice, can be categorized as providing knowledge on human rights standards and, where appropriate, international humanitarian law, through training, workshops and seminars; assistance in the context of legal reform; specific technical cooperation projects, and monitoring of the judiciary, prisons and police.
