19. OHCHR participated in the work and meetings of the United Nations Inter-Agency
Taskforce on Gender and Trade, and provided input to the World Investment Report 2007 issued
by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). OHCHR is also in
the process of preparing a publication designed to facilitate a better understanding of the
interplay between human rights and trade in plain language that is understandable to human
rights practitioners, trade practitioners and the broader public. Furthermore, the
High Commissioner also recently contributed a chapter entitled “Placing human rights in the
Geneva consensus” to a book entitled WTO and Global Governance to be published by the
United Nations University this year.
20. OHCHR published a compilation of good governance practices for the promotion of
human rights which illustrates specific governance reform initiatives that have had a positive
impact on the protection of human rights. The publication consists of 21 case studies on
governance reform initiatives selected from more than 120 submissions received from
Governments, national human rights institutions and non-governmental organizations.
