A/HRC/44/28 OHCHR conducted several business and human rights peer learning workshops, providing opportunities for dialogue and cooperation. These workshops convened business representatives in a candid and practical dialogue on implementing the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in specific operational contexts. The workshops were held at the regional office for South-East Asia in Bangkok, in Moscow and in Pretoria. In the context of the OHCHR Accountability and Remedy project, 5 the Southern African subregional consultation covering Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe was jointly convened with rights holders, civil society and national human rights institutions and saw the participation of the human rights commissions of these three countries. In addition, a consultation focused on the role of national human rights institutions in access to remedy for business-related human rights harms. In “The highest aspiration: a call to action for human rights”, the Secretary-General envisions a world in which everyone can benefit from the new frontiers of the digital age, including through cooperation. Further to the 2019 report of the High-level Panel on Digital Cooperation,6 OHCHR is jointly leading follow-up to the human rights recommendations and is engaged in several system-wide efforts, including the Secretary-General’s strategies on hate speech and data. With a view to developing clearer guidance on human rights expectations from private companies as they develop and deploy digital technologies, OHCHR launched the B-Tech project, an inclusive and dynamic process of dialogue, consultation and research to advance respect for human rights in business practices in the development and application of digital technology.7 In the United Nations Network on Migration, OHCHR contributes to system-wide support to Member States in their implementation, follow-up and review of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration. The Office thereby supports human rights-based international, regional and bilateral cooperation and dialogue on migration in all its dimensions and by all stakeholders, towards realizing the rights and well-being of migrants and their communities of destination, origin and transit. Following the launch in 2017 by OHCHR of the “Faith for Rights” framework,8 the #Faith4Rights toolkit, as refined in 2019, contains prototypes of peer-to-peer learning modules, exploring the relationship between religions, beliefs and human rights. Taking the elimination of religious intolerance as a means to enhance international cooperation in human rights, the toolkit translates the Beirut Declaration on Faith for Rights and its 18 commitments into practical learning and capacity-building programmes. The 18 modules offer concrete ideas for learning exercises, share personal stories or provide inspiring examples of artistic expression. The Group of Five for the Sahel provides an institutional framework for coordination and regional cooperation in development policies and security matters in the Sahel region. OHCHR participated in strengthening human rights interventions there by seeking to build mechanisms, systems and policies required for greater protection and promotion of human rights in the region. OHCHR promotes human rights and the rule of law as the fundamental bases of national, regional and international counter-terrorism policies and strategies through technical assistance and capacity-building initiatives, monitoring, advocacy for and reporting on human rights compliance in the counterterrorism context. 1.
