Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
In 2003, then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan published a report “Strengthening of the United Nations: an agenda for further change" (A/57/387). The Report called for the strengthening of national human right promotion and protection systems through enhanced inter-agency coordination and support to UN country teams in providing such assistance to interested Member States. The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, in cooperation with the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) and the Executive Committee for Humanitarian Assistance, prepared a Plan of Action detailing the manner in which UN agencies would cooperate with in-country staff to integrate the human rights and development agendas. The Plan of Action evidences that UN human rights and development officials have adopted a holistic view of human security that includes both the “duty to protect” and the “duty to fulfill.” To access a copy of this document, please click here.
