A/HRC/41/21 information is gathered, the level of accomplishment of each recommendation or right is assessed via statistical analysis. In this way, both progress towards implementation and obstacles to implementation are identified. Another benefit of the portal is improved coordination and internal human rights information management between line ministries in the context of international reporting processes. This experience highlights the significant potential value added of information systems and mechanisms for reporting on, and the implementation of, human rights. Such national online platforms represent a crucial methodological foundation for the construction of human rights indicators, and for linking the development and human rights agendas. 9 B. Giving practical content to the commitment to leave no one behind, focusing on those furthest behind, in policies and practices 21. As highlighted above, the 2030 Agenda reaffirms the responsibility of all States “to respect, protect and promote human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction of any kind as to race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, disability or other status”.10 Indeed, the overall commitment to leave no one behind will only be achieved through the implementation of all Goals: including by ensuring equality and preventing discrimination, both of which are key human rights principles and priorities for OHCHR. Enhancing equality and countering discrimination is also a global and thematic expected accomplishment of the programme of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. There is therefore a useful convergence of agendas between the targets for Sustainable Development Goals 5, 10 and 16 with the OHCHR priorities in the area of enhancing equality and countering discrimination. For example, the commitment of Member States in target 10.3 of the Sustainable Development Goals, on reducing inequalities and eliminating discriminatory laws, policies and practices, is very much in line with these priorities. 11 Some practical examples of the work of OHCHR with States in this area follow. Identifying who is left behind 22. In Kenya, the National Bureau of Statistics and the National Commission on Human Rights were able to start identifying groups that may be at higher risk of not enjoying their civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, that is, those at risk of being left behind. An analysis of recommendations made to Kenya by the international human rights mechanisms led to a preliminary list of 25 population groups – including indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, slum dwellers, and women from the poorest regions – that may be at risk of being left behind in Kenya. Addressing racial discrimination 23. In October 2018, the Parliament of Tunisia adopted a law on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination, the first such law in the Arab world and the second on the African continent. There were also consultations with civil society. OHCHR provided technical advice to the ministerial group charged with preparing the draft law, and to the parliamentary commission on human rights and freedoms to ensure conformity of the text with international standards. OHCHR continues to support the country’s efforts to address discrimination regarding, for example, equality in inheritance, and the rights of persons with disabilities. 24. In Central America, the Government of Panama adopted the Law to Establish the National Secretariat for the Development of Afro-Panamanians.
