The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights at a glance

What is it?
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is the United Nations office with primary responsibility for promoting and protecting the enjoyment and full realization, by all people, of all rights established in the Charter of the United Nations and in international human rights laws and treaties.

How does it work?
OHCHR undertakes a number of activities in the context of its human rights mandate and to support the broader United Nations human rights programme. It serves as the secretariat to all human rights treaty bodies, except the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. It also serves as the secretariat to the new Human Rights Council. OHCHR undertakes research and organizes consultations on key human rights issues and works towards achieving the realization of human rights in individual countries through country-level engagement.

Which NGOs can access it?
As a general rule, there are no specific criteria for the interaction of NGOs with OHCHR. With the exception of the Human Rights Council, consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) is generally not a requirement for NGOs to work with OHCHR.

How can NGOs work with it?
There are many ways in which NGOs can work with OHCHR to promote, protect and implement human rights. NGOs can engage with the human rights mechanisms for which OHCHR provides secretariat support, such as treaty bodies, special procedures, complaints mechanisms and trust funds. In addition, NGOs can provide information to OHCHR, work with it as partners in training and education, and follow up on human rights recommendations or observations made by special procedures mandate-holders and treaty bodies.
