Recognizing further the constructive role and contribution of all branches of State, as
well as of national human rights institutions, civil society, academia and other relevant
stakeholders in the strengthening of national mechanisms for implementation, reporting and
follow-up, and encouraging their continued participation in and contribution to these
mechanisms,
Bearing in mind that States should integrate their obligations and commitments
under international human rights law into their national legislation and public policies in
order to ensure that State action at the national level is effectively directed towards the
promotion and protection of all human rights and fundamental freedoms, in order to
contribute to the prevention of human rights violations,

Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the United Nations

the State concerned, particularly with a view to supporting the establishment or the
strengthening of national mechanisms for implementation, reporting and follow-up;

Encourages States to establish or strengthen national mechanisms for
implementation, reporting and follow-up for further compliance with human rights
obligations or commitments, and to share good practices and experiences in their use for the
elaboration of public policies with a human rights approach;
3.
Requests the Office of the High Commissioner to organize five regional
consultations to exchange experiences and good practices relating to the establishment and
development of national mechanisms for implementation, reporting and follow-up, and
their impact on effective implementation of human rights obligations and commitments, in
consultation with all relevant stakeholders;
4.
Also requests the Office of the High Commissioner to prepare a report with
the conclusions and recommendations made at the regional consultations in order to
