A/HRC/22/32 session and a publication, OHCHR contributed to ensuring that the law complies with international standards on the independence and impartiality of the judiciary. In Kenya, the National Council on the Administration of Justice was established as a mechanism to ensure a coordinated approach to the administration of justice and secure the independence and accountability of the judiciary. OHCHR comments and suggestions were reflected in the draft bill which was adopted by Parliament. In Ecuador, the OHCHR Regional Office for Central America in partnership with UN Women and other actors supported the development of a protocol on the investigation of femicide with the objective of tackling the epidemic of violence against women in El Salvador and enhancing the investigative capacities of public prosecutors, judges and members of the police. 6. In addition to supporting legislative reform, OHCHR also provides support to States regarding policy reform. Activities, in particular related to the administration of the justice sector, include the 2011-2015 Strategic Plan of the Burundi Ministry of Justice, which contains reforms pertaining to judicial independence and accountability. Following advocacy work of the United Nations Office in Burundi, two key activities were undertaken in 2011: the organization of a national conference on justice, which will serve as a platform for recommendations on different issues related to judicial independence; and a study on the capacity-building plan for the Supreme Council of the Magistracy, which will serve as a preliminary step for wider reforms. 7. In Afghanistan, the Human Rights Support Unit was established within the Ministry of Justice to strengthen the Government’s capacity to fulfil its international human rights obligations under the human rights treaties it has ratified, which have also been incorporated into its Constitution. OHCHR/the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), supported the establishment of the Unit in 2011. The Office also conducted training on the human rights-based approach for newly recruited staff and provided policy advice and technical advice to the Unit for the development of an action plan to implement recommendations of the universal periodic review. In Guinea-Bissau, the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau facilitated the creation of an interdisciplinary committee to ensure the compliance of prisons and detention centres with international standards for detention. As a result of monitoring related to the administration of justice, the Government agreed to the creation of an integrated structure for the administration of the correctional system. OHCHR provided technical support to the drafting of the terms of reference for the structure in 2011. 8. Strengthening human rights compliance by judicial and law enforcement institutions is also a primary focus of activity for OHCHR. The joint OHCHR-Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) Rule of Law Indicators Project was launched in 2011, receiving the endorsement of the Rule of Law Coordination and Resource Group as a system-wide guidance tool. The project was implemented in Haiti and Liberia and the indicators were launched in South Sudan in late 2011. By March 2012, the implementation of the indicators was completed in all three countries. Through the project, national authorities are provided with the necessary information and guidance to assess and identify areas in need of reform, such as performance, integrity, transparency and accountability of national criminal justice institutions, and to ensure compliance with international standards regarding fair trial and the treatment of members of vulnerable groups. 9. OHCHR also organizes and facilitates human rights training sessions in field presences around the world for the judiciary, police and other security forces, including military forces in order to contribute to improving their compliance with international human rights standards. For instance, with the International Labour Organization (ILO), the OHCHR Regional Office for South America organized and conducted a two-month course in Peru in 2011 focused on the direct applicability or the interpretative value of 4
