In a statement, the DFA said the UN Joint Program (UNJP) document produced as a result of the negotiation outlines the objectives, strategies, indicators and targets, and governance mechanism of the three-year program on human rights.
The UNJP was developed following a series of intensive consultations between Philippine government agencies and participating UN agencies, and with inputs from the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) and civil society groups as part of an inclusive process.
The DFA expressed its appreciation to the UN Resident Coordinator (UNRC), the Department of Justice (DOJ), different lead government agencies, and other relevant stakeholders for formulating what it described as a “substantive, credible and forward-looking UNJP” that seeks to enhance the capacity of national institutions and actors to promote and protect human rights and strengthen the country’s compliance with its international human rights obligations.
