A/HRC/32/52 of the documents needed to complete their file). While recognizing that the deadline for registering as a victim cannot be extended indefinitely, the Independent Expert is sensitive to the legitimate grievances raised by victims’ associations and recommends that the authorities develop some form of recourse for those who have not yet been able to register. 33. This recommendation is based on the need to take into consideration the difficulties surrounding data collection, including contexts in which the interested parties are illiterate, poor or residing in relatively isolated locations. The recommendation is also made in recognition of the fact that the denial of victim status for actual victims constitutes a revictimization that undermines the process of national reconciliation. 34. Upon the submission of the report of the National Commission for Reconciliation and Compensation of Victims, the President of the Republic instructed the Minister for Solidarity, Social Cohesion and Victim Compensation to proceed with its publication, together with the report produced by the Dialogue, Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The Independent Expert welcomes this positive development. The publication of the reports will have a cathartic effect for the direct and indirect victims of the violence that has plagued the country. However, the reports should be accompanied by an awareness-raising campaign focusing on the importance of the work done by the two commissions, their laudable objectives and the inevitable limitations of the reports. D. National Human Rights Commission of Côte d’Ivoire 35. Following the appointment of the former president of the National Human Rights Commission of Côte d’Ivoire as Minister for Human Rights and Civil Liberties, the members of the Commission elected a new (again, female) president. Having published its 2013 and 2014 annual reports late last year, the Commission is now readying its 2015 report for submission to the President of the Republic and subsequent publication. The Independent Expert reiterates the importance of publishing these annual reports on time and on a regular basis, along with reports on sectoral issues that merit more in-depth examination. Efforts should be made to improve the quality of these reports on an ongoing basis and to maximize their visibility among civil society and the public authorities (especially parliamentarians and ministerial departments responsible for security, justice and social cohesion). 36. The institutional workplan for the period 2016-2018 has been aligned with the current five-year plan. Its basic aims are to strengthen and revitalize the national and regional structure of the Commission and to continue its human rights promotion and protection activities. While this programme is ambitious and requires substantial human, financial and logistical support, it seems that current accounting standards sometimes hinder the Commission’s work. The Independent Expert draws the attention of the Ivorian authorities to the importance of providing the Commission with an adequate annual budget and of streamlining procedures for the execution and control of budget disbursements. Human rights protection is a task that often demands urgent responses that are difficult to reconcile with convoluted administrative procedures. 37. Cooperation between the Commission and UNOCI continues through monthly bilateral meetings at which the two organizations exchange information and propose actions related to the promotion of human rights. The impending departure of UNOCI raises the possibility that it will leave a vacuum in its wake, and careful thought must therefore be given to the urgent steps that must be taken to ensure continuity in the protection of human rights. The Commission (along with the Ministry of Human Rights and Civil Liberties) is one of the largest institutions to take on this task, which is fraught with challenges. The Independent Expert believes that the upcoming constitutional reform may be a good opportunity to provide the country with a national institution that is more fully aligned with 10 GE.16-10958
