A/HRC/28/48 ownership of peacebuilding initiatives, UNAMA/OHCHR has played a facilitation role, supporting civil society to lead this inclusive, rights-centred process that enables the voices of Afghans to be heard and considered by the new Government and policymakers. As an integral part of the initiative, 34 provincial road maps have been completed and are being used an advocacy tool by local civil society groups. 47. On 10 June, UNAMA assisted Afghan civil society by coorganizing a press conference to launch the summary report of phase II of the Afghan People’s Dialogue on Peace, entitled “Building the Foundations for an Inclusive Peace Process”.4 The 40-page report summarises the views of the 4,648 Afghan men, women and young people from all 34 provinces of the country who participated in phase II of the Dialogue. In the report, it is stated that disarming and disempowering local militias, tackling widespread corruption and impunity among the police and judiciary, resolving ethnic tensions, tribal disputes and factional conflicts that fuel broader armed conflict, respecting human rights and providing equitable development assistance and service delivery across the country were essential to achieving lasting peace. The report also contains a 10-point national road map for peace on the basis of these findings. On 12 October, the People’s Dialogue steering committee sent an open letter to the Office of the President, requesting a discussion of the national road map for peace. VI. Support to national institutions Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission 48. On 28 January 2014, the findings of the five-yearly accreditation review of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission by the Subcommittee on Accreditation of the International Coordinating Committee of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights were published, with a decision on its status deferred for one year. The decision was accompanied by a statement of concern regarding the selection and appointment process for Commissioners, the dependence of the Commission on international donor funding, and the disparity in the ratio of female to male staff members. 49. Since then, the Commission has made efforts to address the concerns raised. These include obtaining a presidential order to amend the selection and appointment process, in order to establish a transparent, participatory and pluralistic process more in line with the principles relating to the status of national institutions (Paris Principles); implementing a comprehensive gender policy to improve female representation of the staff; and obtaining the Government’s commitment to increase its 2014 budget allocation to the Commission. The Commission was reviewed for re-accreditation by the Subcommittee on Accreditation from 27 to 31 October 2014. The outcome was pending at the time of writing. UNAMA/OHCHR urges the new Government to ensure the Commission’s continued independence, credibility and effectiveness. UNAMA/OHCHR also reiterates its recommendation to publicly release the Commission’s conflict-mapping report as a way of promoting peace and reconciliation. 50.
