A/HRC/15/28
Summary
In accordance with Human Rights Council resolution 12/4, in the first quarter of
2010 the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)
prepared a draft plan of action for the second phase (2010-2014) of the World Programme
for Human Rights Education, in consultation with the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), on the basis of, inter alia, relevant United
Nations instruments and documents, the plan of action for the first phase (2005-2009) of
the World Programme, and OHCHR published material.
In April, the draft plan was submitted for review to relevant intergovernmental
organizations, in particular UNESCO, and non-governmental actors including experts and
practitioners from all accredited national human rights institutions, academic institutions
and other civil society organizations. OHCHR received 22 replies with comments, which
have been taken into consideration in the further elaboration of the draft.
In May 2010, OHCHR addressed a note verbale to all governments, inviting them to
comment on the draft. OHCHR reviewed and finalized the draft in light of the replies
received as at 28 June from Canada, Italy, Japan, Spain and Switzerland.
