THE OFFICE OF THE
HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS (OHCHR) AND PARTNERS

5.1 Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights
The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has prime responsi- bility for the overall protection and promotion of all human rights. Deriving its mandate from the United Nations Charter, the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action and the General Assembly, the OHCHR’s mission is to spearhead efforts of people worldwide for the promotion and protection of human rights so that everyone can live in a society shaped and governed in the image of the international human rights standards agreed upon by the United Nations.
In pursing this mission, the OHCHR has four strategic aims:
1. To enhance the effectiveness of the United Nations human rights machinery;
2. To increase United Nations system-wide implementation and co- ordination of  human rights;
3. To build national, regional and international capacity to promote and protect human rights;
4. To analyze, process and disseminate reports, recommendations and reso- lutions of human rights organs and bodies, as well as other relevant human rights information.
OHCHR is mandated to take a leading role in regard to human rights issues and to stimulate and co-ordinate human rights activities and programmes.
