A/HRC/28/42 24. OHCHR has provided extensive support to the Equality Council, including in the development of its strategic plan and operational structure. In that context, OHCHR held training courses on national and international anti-discrimination standards and on the freedom of religion and belief legislation in place in the Republic of Moldova. OHCHR also organized further training for judges, prosecutors, lawyers and members of the Equality Council on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The awareness-raising campaign was well received and an increasing number of cases relating to gender equality, discrimination and hate speech are now being adjudicated by Moldovan courts. Paraguay: capacity development for inclusive and rights-based poverty reduction 25. In 2013/2014, at the Government’s request, OHCHR, through its Human Rights Adviser, supported the work of the Secretariat for Social Action to integrate human rights into its policymaking and implementation. The eradication of poverty is a government priority and the Secretariat is the main implementing agency for the relevant policies, working directly with communities in rural areas and among indigenous peoples. 26. OHCHR technical support has allowed the Secretariat for Social Action to revise its institutional framework, so as to integrate human rights into its policies, methodologies and communication materials, including its website. OHCHR also contributed by running an intensive training programme and assisting in the development of a special protocol on indigenous peoples’ rights and their participation in decision-making, following consultations facilitated by OHCHR with indigenous peoples. It will be the first protocol of its kind in the region directly addressing key issues relating to consultation and participation. 27. The project has benefited from continuous political support from the highest levels, and has been successful in gradually integrating a stronger human rights perspective into the way the Secretariat carries out its functions. Work is now under way to introduce a human rights indicators framework, based on detailed disaggregated data, for the monitoring of poverty reduction programmes. In 2015, community leaders and families will also be trained in how to take a more active and informed role in decision-making and policymaking that affect their lives. Further support is also in the pipeline to mainstream gender into the work programme in close cooperation with the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women). State of Palestine: an inclusive and rights-based framework for development 28. In 2011, the Ministry of Justice of the Palestinian National Authority requested OHCHR assistance in developing a rights-based framework for the national development agenda. Broad-based national consultations, aimed at identifying rights-based targets for prioritization in the national development plan that was being drafted in parallel, were launched at a large public conference in Ramallah on 10 December 2012. In follow-up to the conference, a team of Palestinian consultants, with OHCHR support, analysed development gaps and needs from a human rights perspective, including through broadbased consultations and validation workshops, which provided input from a range of stakeholders, including government officials and representatives of the Palestinian human rights institution, civil society, community-based organizations, labour and employers’ unions, academia and affected groups, as well as United Nations entities and the diplomatic community. The result was a comprehensive guidance document setting out ways to incorporate human rights more effectively into the Palestinian National Development Plan 2014–2016 and other future development and recovery frameworks. 29. The guidance document was finalized by the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Planning and Administrative Development and OHCHR in January 2014, and launched at a 8
