A/HRC/4/96 page 15 D. Technical cooperation and advocacy 44. Under the comprehensive programme of assistance to Sierra Leone of OHCHR, UNIOSIL Human Rights and Rule of Law Section, in collaboration with the Sierra Leone Library Board (SLLB), established human rights and law reference libraries in Bo, Makeni and Kenema. Bo and Kenema libraries are now completed and ready for use. The beneficiaries are not only human rights groups but also legal practitioners, students and the general public. E. The National Human Rights Commission 45. On 11 December 2006, the Government appointed the members of the Human Rights Commission. Established by Act of Parliament in 2004, the Human Rights Commission of Sierra Leone (HRCSL) is mandated to receive and to act on complaints for human rights violations; to monitor, to investigate, to document and to report on the human rights situation; and to promote awareness of human rights through information and education. It also has the mandate to oversee compliance with treaty obligations, to promote conformity of national laws and practices with international standards. The HRCSL has also been designated as the “Follow-up Committee” to facilitate and to monitor the implementation of the TRC recommendations. 46. OHCHR Office in Geneva had earlier responded to a request for support from the Government by contracting a consultant who traveled to Sierra Leone on two occasions and provided advisory services with a view to the establishment of the Commission. With the full establishment of the HRCSL, its urgent task, among others, is to formulate a national plan of action for the promotion and protection of human rights; OHCHR will continue to provide support to the HRCSL in this regard. 47. The Commission is still in its inception phase; it has to develop minimum operational modalities and to arrange for logistics and other basic needs, and the Commissioners also require training. The beginning is crucial for the future and credibility of the Commission and, therefore, it needs the full support and a strong commitment from the Government and the international community in this context. OHCHR welcomes the initiatives of the Government to identify support to the Commission as a priority area in the context of the Peacebuilding Commission. F. The Peacebuilding Commission 48. Sierra Leone has been selected as one of the first countries to benefit from the newly established Peacebuilding Commission (PBC). The Government, in collaboration with the United Nations, identified four priority areas for support: (a) youth empowerment and employment; (b) strengthening governance; (c) justice and security sector reform; and (d) capacity-building and public service delivery. These priority areas were presented by the Vice-President of Sierra Leone in New York and approved by the PBC. Subsequently, concept notes covering the four priority areas were developed and submitted to PBC for approval in order to trigger the release of the country envelope.
