A/HRC/25/19 63. OHCHR has remained an active member of the Global Migration Group, including in the context of the Group’s internal review process. Through its input, OHCHR sought to enhance and strengthen inter-agency coordination of migration and to bolster the Group’s mandate to promote the wider application of all relevant instruments and norms relating to migration. OHCHR is currently the chair of the working group on migration, human rights and gender recently established by the Group, and leads a number of activities within the “human rights and gender equality” stream of the Group’s multi-annual work plan. OHCHR also continued its efforts to heighten attention to human rights within the work programme of the Global Forum on Migration and Development. 64. OHCHR advocated for the inclusion of the human rights of migrants within the post-2015 development agenda, including in the context of the thematic consultations on population dynamics and on inequalities, and relevant technical briefs submitted to the open working group. The Office’s input highlighted that migrants should be visibly integrated into the new agenda as full and equal subjects of development. 65. OHCHR provided technical assistance to States and regional and subregional organizations on the application of a rights-based approach to addressing trafficking. In Ukraine, in March 2013, OHCHR officially launched the Recommended Principles and Guidelines on Human Rights and Human Trafficking. In May, four training courses on countering trafficking were held in Belarus, which brought together law enforcement officials from 13 Member States. OHCHR also engaged with the Inter-agency Coordination Group against Trafficking in Persons to promote the United Nations Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons.14 E. Violence and insecurity 1. Human rights, peace and security 66. Progress was achieved in making human rights issues and considerations a guiding element of United Nations peacekeeping operations. I have appreciated the continued opportunity to brief the Security Council on human rights protection in armed conflict and on specific country situations. This critical interaction seems to confirm the growing recognition by the Council of the centrality of human rights to the peace and security agenda. 67. OHCHR worked further to ensure the strengthening of human rights mandates of peace operations in the resolutions adopted by the Security Council. It contributed to system-wide country-specific task forces, and undertook advocacy with States for the firm integration of human rights into efforts to restore peace and security. We encouraged greater efforts to prevent the exposure of men, women and children to serious human rights violations in situations of violence and conflict, including more sustained efforts to pursue accountability of perpetrators and redress for victims. 68. OHCHR continued to monitor situations of human rights and to investigate human rights violations in often challenging conditions. In March 2013, owing to lack of access to the Syrian Arab Republic, OHCHR deployed a team to neighbouring countries to collect information on human rights violations committed in the context of the conflict. In January and June, OHCHR released two casualty figure analyses, which were part of a unique effort to obtain an estimation of the number of casualties in the conflict since March 2011. 14 General Assembly resolution 64/293, annex. 13
