A/HRC/4/102 page 5 6. Institutions involved in systems of administration of justice include the courts, including specialized courts such as juvenile and military courts, and legal professionals such as judges, prosecutors and lawyers as well as support personnel such as court administrators and social workers; the police, military and intelligence services. Similarly, government institutions also participate in the administration of justice, for example the ministries of justice, interior, defence, human rights, as well as subdivisions which have responsibility for the institutions mentioned above; independent institutions having public financing such as ombudpersons and national human rights institutions (NHRI); and civil society institutions such as bar associations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) involved in litigation or working for reform and improvement of the administration of justice. The legislative branch and specially created institutions for constitutional reform engaged in issues relating to the administration of justice are covered as well. I. THE POLICY FRAMEWORK 7. The policy framework for undertaking practical measures to assist States in strengthening their systems of administration of justice is based on the High Commissioner’s Plan of Action and the Strategic Management Plan for 2006-2007, calling, inter alia, for greater country engagement by OHCHR to close implementation gaps at the national level, and the decision by the Secretary-General to establish a Rule of Law Coordination and Resource Group within the Secretariat consisting of the key United Nations Actors (Office of Legal Affairs, Department of Peacekeeping Operations, OHCHR, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), UNDP, United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)) (see A/61/636 - S/2006/980). 8. The Rule of Law Coordination and Resource Group will act as the Secretariat’s focal point for coordinating systemwide attention to the rule of law so as to ensure quality, policy coherence and coordination. As the Secretary-General indicated in his report (A/61/636), OHCHR is designated to lead the United Nations system in a number of areas, notably on advocacy, training and education on human rights law; general transitional justice issues in the post-conflict phase including human rights investigations, establishment of national institutions; and monitoring and integrating human rights during the post-conflict and development phase. In the strengthening of national justice systems and institutions in the context of long-term development, OHCHR will work closely with UNDP and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and will continue to have the lead role in integrating human rights norms and standards across all areas. II. TRAINING MATERIALS A. Administration of justice training materials 9. OHCHR has developed human rights training materials intended for use by United Nations staff, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, and civil servants of countries receiving technical cooperation in the field of the administration of justice. These include a Manual on Human Rights for Judges, Prosecutors and Lawyers; a Handbook of International Standards relating to Pre-trial Detention; a Manual on Human Rights Training for the Police (plus a pocket handbook on human rights standards for police and a trainer’s guide);
