A/HRC/27/41 C. Establishment and strengthening of judicial and accountability mechanisms Togo: integrating a human rights-based approach to transitional justice 45. At the Government’s request and within the framework of the 2006 General Peace Agreement, OHCHR supported the process that led to the creation of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) in February 2009. As the lead entity within the United Nations system in the area of transitional justice, OHCHR, in coordination with the United Nations Resident Coordinator, the United Nations country team, UNDP and international donors, provided advice and capacity-building support by organizing national consultations to strengthen ownership and inclusive participation in the truth, justice and reconciliation process; supporting the drafting of legal and administrative frameworks for the establishment and functioning of the TJRC, in line with international human rights standards; and providing training to TJRC officials and staff. 46. In 2012, the President of Togo officially validated the core report and recommendations of the TJRC. OHCHR, in partnership with some civil society organizations, is preparing a compendium of the TJRC recommendations for wider dissemination and advocacy outreach initiatives, including in rural and remote areas. The Office is working closely with the Ministry of Human Rights on the drafting of a white paper on the implementation of the TJRC recommendations and the establishment of a mechanism to follow up the TJRC, in line with international good practices. Colombia: strengthening reparation and land restitution processes 47. In 2011, in order to address the need for comprehensive reparation measures for the victims of human rights violations committed in the context of the armed conflict in Colombia, the Victims and Land Restitution Law as well as decree-laws 4633, 4634 and 4635 were adopted. Within the framework of two bilateral cooperation agreements signed in 2012 with the Land Restitution Unit and the Victims Attention and Comprehensive Reparation Unit, OHCHR-Colombia supports the authorities by issuing periodic reports on the status of implementation of the laws. Government partners have underlined the relevance of the recommendations contained in those reports, which provide policy options to improve compliance with international human rights standards, particularly on reparation and restitution. 48. OHCHR technical assistance has improved institutional coordination with a view to supporting the sustainability of land restitution and the exercise of economic, social and cultural rights without discrimination for the returned communities. Between December 2011 and October 2013, 277 rulings were handed down by the tribunals. OHCHR continues to provide support to the authorities in promoting inter-institutional coordination, including at the local level, for the planning and execution of return efforts and the inclusive participation of victims in the development of public policies. A number of serious challenges remain to be addressed, such as the limited capacity to work in areas still affected by internal armed conflict, and violence against claimants and human rights defenders.
