Human Rights Support Unit (HRSU)

Progetto concluso

The UNDP project “Justice and Human Rights in Afghanistan” (JHRA), of which SDC has been supporting the Human Rights Support Unit (HRSU) since 2009, expands its outreach in the area of rule of law during its second phase applying a comprehensive human rights based approach. It continues to build up the capacity of duty bearers but focuses more on civil society and linkages with the Afghan Government. SDC supports public participation and legal awareness in addition to HRSU.

Contesto

Although Human Rights are anchored in the Afghan legal and development framework, the human rights situation in the country remains bleak. Lack of awareness of human rights, misinterpretation of the international conventions and lack of establishment of the rule of law are the major reasons. The JHRA Project, implemented by UNDP and the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), started in 2009. As part of this project SDC has supported the establishment and consolidation of the HRSU. Prior to the end of the SDC phase in 2014, JHRA enters its second phase with a more comprehensive approach to address both right holders and duty bearers and the linkages between them. While SDC continues its support to HRSU, it can now upscale its engagement in the justice sector with an additional contribution for JHRA earmarked for public participation and legal awareness. The duration of the additional support lasts until the end of SDC phase to the main credit in November 2014.
