A/HRC/12/42 page 17 34. During the period under review, HRPS produced daily, weekly and monthly reports and contributed to the regular periodic reports required under the UNMIL mandate. These reports informed the United Nations system of the human rights situation throughout the country with the aim of encouraging and facilitating appropriate actions by key stakeholders. In December 2008, HRPS published a public human rights report covering the period November 2007 to June 2008 with detailed recommendations to the Government and the international community. 35. The Section is in the process of drafting a thematic report on conditions of detention in Liberian prisons. Based on systematic verification and documentation, the report aims to draw attention to the challenges facing the corrections sector and to the violations and abuses that occur in prisons, and to recommend actions to address these deficiencies. B. Human rights awareness and capacity-building 36. Field officers undertook a range of grass-roots awareness-raising initiatives, mainly using UNMIL and community radio to tackle issues relating to the general human rights situation and issues of particular concern in each community.

The Human Rights Club initiative33 also continued to expand and clubs are now established in each county. Although the focus of the initiative has mainly been on establishing clubs in schools, in December 2008 HRPS met with a group of law students at the University of Liberia to discuss the possibility of reviving the Human Rights Club within the university. 38. The Section’s most significant communication initiative during the period under review was the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 60/Human Rights Day campaign which was conducted in all 15 counties. Focusing on public participation, activities were carried out under the theme “Dignity and justice for all of us”. Several activities organized to mark the 60th anniversary of Human Rights Day addressed the connection between women, violence and human rights as part of the 16-day campaign of activism against gender violence. The celebratory activities were organized in collaboration with various UNMIL sections and local government authorities and included participation from civil society, schools, human rights organizations and the United Nations Country Team. 39. The Section successfully implemented phase 1 of its initiative aimed at facilitating respect for the rule of law by providing human rights training to each intake of LNP recruits. It also commenced phase 2 of the initiative, the aim of which was to institutionalize this training both at the training academy and at the county level. However, identifying suitable participants in some 33 This initiative aims to engender a human rights culture among the youth through human rights education and awareness-raising among student members of the clubs established in Liberian high schools with technical support from the Section.
