A/HRC/31/3 Burundi. The OHCHR Human Rights Case Database, an Office-wide professional case management tool, was rolled out to three additional offices and a new module for profiling alleged perpetrators was developed. 3. Sexual and gender-based violence, trafficking and related exploitation 97. OHCHR supported the development and implementation of laws against sexual violence (for instance in Afghanistan, Burundi, the Central African Republic, Iraq (Kurdistan region) and Nigeria); promoting victims’ and witnesses’ participation in peace processes and reconciliation (in the Sudan (Darfur) and the Central African Republic); and assisting victims of sexual violence (in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guatemala, the Sudan and Tunisia). OHCHR sought to strengthen national capacities to investigate sexual and gender-based violence in Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia and the Sudan. In Kosovo, OHCHR advocated for the allocation of funds to address gender-based violence in the municipality of North Mitrovica and supported the women’s caucus in the municipal assembly. Also in Kosovo, through United Nations joint programming, OHCHR supported the development of a draft regulation on the verification of the status of victims of conflict-related sexual violence. 98. The United Nations Mission in Liberia and OHCHR assisted national counterparts to establish centres that provide comprehensive services to survivors of sexual and genderbased violence. In Mauritania, OHCHR and United Nations partners contributed to enhancing national capacity to address sexual and gender-based violence and provided legal advice on a draft law to combat such violence and better protect survivors. 99. To promote a human rights-based approach to addressing trafficking in persons, OHCHR provided technical and capacity-building assistance to States and civil society groups, including in Belarus and Thailand. In the framework of the International Labour Organization campaign to promote the ratification of the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29), OHCHR engaged in efforts to raise awareness about forced labour and its linkages with human rights and human trafficking. 100. OHCHR has successfully mainstreamed human rights into anti-trafficking joint policy positions, as in the Inter-Agency Coordination Group against Trafficking in Persons, and in evaluating responses to trafficking. In September, OHCHR convened an event against trafficking for organ removal in partnership with Belarus, with the participation of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the World Health Organization and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. 4. Humanitarian action 101. OHCHR remained engaged with the Inter-Agency Standing Committee and the Global Protection Cluster, co-leading the team charged with prioritizing protection. In 2015, a major independent review of protection in humanitarian action was completed. 102. OHCHR led the protection clusters in Liberia (in relation to Ebola), Mauritania and the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and co-led them with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Ukraine and the Pacific region. As part of OHCHR efforts to integrate human rights in the humanitarian response of the United Nations to the crisis in the Syrian Arab Republic, three human rights advisers were recruited to support the Humanitarian Coordinator in the country, the Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Syria Crisis and his deputy. Rapid and surge deployments in the framework of humanitarian action included missions to Nepal (following the earthquake), Ukraine, Mauritania and Yemen. In Rakhine State, Myanmar, OHCHR assisted humanitarian actors in integrating human rights into their response. 16
