The OHRC, in collaboration with various United Nations agencies in the Sultanate of Oman, conducted a workshop to introduce the OHRC and its terms of reference, as well as to identify the role, tasks and work of agencies of United Nations organizations and to build bridges of cooperation with them. The workshop involved participation from OHRC specialists and representatives from civil society associations, including the Children First Association and the Association of Children with Disabilities.
The workshop covered a number of topics, including the definition of the OHRC and its activities at the national and international levels and the existing cooperation with the United Nations mechanisms. The role of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) was also reviewed, as well as the UNICEF office and the roles it plays in the field of children’s rights. The role of UNESCO in supporting literacy projects, science programs and cultural and historical projects was also reviewed, in addition to the role of the Food and Nutrition Organization (FAO) and its efforts to help countries achieve food security.
This workshop is based on the OHRC efforts to expand channels of cooperation and build relations with all mechanisms related to the OHRC work, exchange ideas and information to crystallize a clear vision of the framework for action in the field of protecting and promoting human rights, and extract appropriate ideas for capacity building. This is in addition to improving reports and opening a renewed window to see developments related to human rights issues.
