A/HRC/14/33 42. OHCHR/UNAMA (Afghanistan) undertook field-based research to contribute to a better understanding of how human rights perspectives can contribute to poverty alleviation. The report, entitled “Willful Neglect: The Human Rights Dimension of Poverty”, employs the enjoyment of the right to food as the entry point to examine poverty. 43. In Serbia, an important joint work was undertaken by the Human Rights Adviser, in close collaboration with the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) and other key partners, on the evictions and relocation of informal Roma settlements in Belgrade. This work included, inter alia, an expert mission to assess the situation, dissemination of information on international standards related to forced evictions, assessment of relocation sites and collaborative work with the authorities. 44. Human rights field presences have also supported processes of legal protection and reform of legislation related to the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights. For example, OHCHR-Uganda has engaged in advocacy for the establishment of functional land adjudication bodies, training for land adjudicators on due process, non-discrimination, and gender standards, and advocacy at the national level for prioritization and resource provision for oversight and review of local land adjudication. 45. In October 2009, OHCHR Regional Office in Panama organized a regional seminar for parliamentarians. A day was devoted to the Optional Protocol to the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. In follow-up to the seminar, the Regional Office has been in contact with parliamentarians in El Salvador and Costa Rica to promote the ratification of the Optional Protocol. 46. The Human Rights Adviser in Ecuador promoted the justiciability of economic, social and cultural rights, organizing activities with the National Assembly, the Ministry of Justice, the judiciary, universities and civil society organizations. A book on judicial protection of social rights and an interactive CD-ROM toolbox on these rights were published and distributed. A session with the National Assembly was devoted to promote the ratification of the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. 47. Field presences have helped with the development and implementation of national public policies relevant to economic, social and cultural rights. In 2009 OHCHR-Cambodia undertook work at policy level to encourage development partners and the Government to develop comprehensive national guidelines on resettlement. Advice was also offered to development partners and the Government on the human rights and legal aspects of two key policy documents developed in 2009: a Circular on Illegal Settlements in urban areas and a Law on Expropriation. Several tools and materials on land and evictions were published. 48. OHCHR-Uganda’s support was sought by the Ministry of Health to contribute with a human rights review of sector policies and plans. In addition, technical advice was provided to the draft mental health bill which was revised in line with the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and international human rights standards. OHCHR has also engaged in advocacy for the establishment of functional land adjudication bodies, training for land adjudicators on due process, non-discrimination, and gender standards, and advocacy at national level for prioritization and resource provision for oversight and review of local land adjudication. 49. In the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the Human Rights Adviser disseminated widely and brought to the attention of partners general comment No. 20 of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights on non-discrimination in economic, social and cultural rights. This informed the Government’s draft of a comprehensive antidiscrimination law which includes discrimination in the area of economic, social and cultural rights. 10 GE.10-12597
