A/HRC/22/39 F. Integration of human rights into security sector reform 39. Guinea has undertaken institutional, legal and regulatory reforms to strengthen the legal framework ensuring that defence and security forces uphold human rights. The purpose of these measures is to remedy deficiencies in security sector institutions, in particular by improving discipline and professionalism, increasing respect for the rule of law and the criminal justice system and placing the sector under judicial authority. 40. Accordingly, human rights considerations have been incorporated into the regulations and laws governing the defence and security forces, namely, the code of conduct of the defence forces, the Armed Forces regulations, the Code of Military Justice and the national strategy for the security sector. The inclusion of human rights results in part from the training programmes set up by OHCHR — human rights modules were introduced in the curricula of police and gendarmerie academies and military training centres, for example — education centres, and in part from its technical advice input to the drafting of legal documents. 41. OHCHR also carried out capacity-building activities for officials responsible for enforcing human rights laws. For example, as part of its support for security sector reform, and notably the strengthening of the criminal justice system, it ran training programmes for at least 200 investigative police officers in Conakry, Kankan, Kindia, Labé and Nzérékoré. 42. Observer missions have been one of the primary means of educating security forces about human rights. Through its offices in Conakry and Nzérékoré, OHCHR deployed its teams countrywide and in 2012, was thus able to carry out several dozen missions across the country, either routine monitoring missions or investigations, when warranted by violations, such as in Beyla, Boffa, Boke, Dubreka, Guéckédou, Kamsar, Kankan, Kindia, Kissoudougou, Faranah, Labe, Siguiri and Zoghota. Moreover, OHCHR has been visible in places where there was a high risk of violations, especially at demonstrations, and in regular visits to places of detention, and also at high-profile trials, such as the one following the attack on the presidential residence. After every such observer mission or investigation, OHCHR prepared a confidential report containing recommendations for the authorities, to encourage them to take corrective measures and put an end to violations. 43. Efforts are still needed at the institutional level regarding cooperation with the justice system and public relations. In that connection, the launch on 5 December 2012 of the programme on democratic and civil oversight of the defence and security forces in Guinea is a promising start. Its goal is to increase transparency and good governance in the defence and security forces by building oversight capacity, establishing communication mechanisms and drafting and disseminating legal texts. 44. The comments made above regarding the impunity of the security forces, especially in relation to the events of 28 September 2009, will be taken into consideration in the implementation of the human rights due diligence policy on United Nations support to nonUnited Nations security forces9 in conjunction with other types of support provided to the national security forces by the United Nations system, including assistance financed by the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund. 9 GE.13-10258 This policy stipulates that the United Nations cannot provide support to national security forces when there is a real risk that beneficiaries might commit serious violations of international humanitarian law, international human rights law or international refugee law or when the relevant authorities are not taking the necessary measures to correct or mitigate the risk. 11
