OHCHR - United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights

Published purpose

The project supports the implementation and strengthening of the Human Rights Up Front (HRUF) initiative. The HURF initiative outlines the overall efforts and obligations to engage more proactively, strategically and creatively with the United Nations (UN) System Organizations, Member States, UN Country Teams, and other stakeholders in situations at risk, or subject to serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law. This includes the rights of women and girls and all marginalised groups disproportionately impacted in conflict situations. The project also supports the UN Office of the High Commissioner to significantly enhance its capacity to prepare and respond to potential and emerging crisis situations at the country level.
