OHCHR and prevention
OHCHR and prevention
The connections between human rights, development and peace have been reaffirmed in different UN resolutions, including the 2016 and 2020 resolutions of the General Assembly and Security Council on sustaining peace, and Human Rights Council (HRC) resolutions 38/18 and 45/31 on its contribution to the prevention of human rights violations.
The Council’s mandate, in resolution 60/251, highlights two mutually reinforcing areas of work:
- Deep-rooted, structural prevention: the Council “shall contribute through dialogue and cooperation, to the prevention of human rights violations”; and
- Rapid-reaction, operational prevention: it shall “respond promptly to human rights emergencies”, to de-escalate ongoing violations and avert specific threats of atrocities.
