A/HRC/12/42 page 18 counties proved difficult. Meanwhile, HRPS is continuing its own training programme and reviewing the “training of trainers” initiative. The Section has also targeted training LNP officers from the Women and Children Protection Section on child protection and juvenile justice. 40. New recruits into the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) have also received human rights training, conducted by HRPS in coordination with Dyncorp, the security firm contracted by the Liberian Government to train its army. C. Support for institution-building initiatives 41. The Ministries of Justice, Education, Labour, and Health and Social Welfare, as well as the legislature and the TRC, have received sustained technical support from the Section. Partly due to the persistent efforts of the Section, the legislature finally adopted amendments to the INCHR Act in May 2009. HRPS is engaged with government and civil society actors in supporting the establishment of the INCHR and initiating the development of a national human rights action plan. 42. As the Section increases its focus on economic, social and cultural rights, relevant governmental institutions and stakeholders, including the United Nations Country Team, are receiving support on the application of a human rights-based approach to the implementation of the PRS. In May 2009, HRPS in collaboration with OHCHR organized a training workshop aimed at building capacity in the area of business and human rights. Staff of HRPS and the Country Team, as well as 45 representatives of government ministries, national and multinational corporations, trade unions and civil society organizations participated in the training. HRPS and OHCHR also made a significant contribution to mainstreaming human rights into the security sector reform through the designee of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, who successfully advocated for ethnic and geographic representation as well as a 20 per cent gender balance in recruiting the future armed forces of Liberia. 43. Building on the momentum created by the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities by Liberia on 30 March 2007, HRPS developed a project with the Liberian Government, NGOs and OHCHR on the implementation of rights under the Convention. Under the leadership of the Human Rights and Disabilities Task Force of which HRPS is a member, phases 1 and 2 of the project were implemented. Preparatory meetings and regional consultation workshops were held, during which a human rights and disabilities issues paper was agreed and drafted. Phases 3 and 4 which entail holding a national workshop to validate the paper and a high-level stakeholders’ social dialogue on the paper remain to be carried out. Through this participatory process, it is intended that consensus and commitment will be built within the Government of Liberia, the private sector, the United Nations family and donors, as well as national and international civil society, on the development of a national strategy for the implementation of the Convention in Liberia, based on the issues paper, considered as a key reference. 44. Significant work was done in collaboration with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in support of efforts by the Ministry of Education to institutionalize peace, citizenship and human rights education in the curricula for grades 1 to 12.
