• engage with those sub-regional organizations with human rights initiatives, especially to highlight the need for a machinery to review the human rights situation, provide redress where the national level is unable or unwilling to deliver justice, and support effective implementation of human rights standards consistent with international law;
  
  
• continue to support the pillar on national human rights institutions and its network - the Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions -as part of the regional programme, based on a sustainable partnership relationship;
  
  
• shift the other three pillars of the current Asia-Pacific framework ( i.e. on national human rights action plans, human rights education and economic/social/cultural rights/the right to development) to country programming, as appropriate, and interlink with the UNCT on a national and/or regional/sub-regional basis, it' countries wish to promote the pillars;
  
  
• use the regional framework to encourage States to accede to human rights treaties and implement them, as well as to followup the various recommendations of the human rights
  treaty bodies and special procedures, in cooperation with the OHCHR presence in the Asia-Pacific region and other UN agencies;
  
  
• enable actions to be planned and implemented with a variety of stakeholders - governmental, inter-governmental and non­governmental, and in a spirit of UN inter-agency cooperation;
  
  
• report back on developments half way through the five-year cycle by holding a high level mid-term review workshop (about two and a half years after the cycle begins) and a final review workshop (at the end of the five years), without the need for annual Asia­Pacific workshops;

               6) Support the decentralization process of the OHCHR to have sub-regional offices in the Asia-Pacific region with adequate back-up in terms of resources and personnel; the current Asia-Pacific regional OHCHR office in Bangkok should become the sub-regional office for South-east Asia; step-by-step, sub-regional offices should be set up for the Pacific (now approved to be set up in Fiji), South Asia, (South-) West Asia, North-east Asia and Central Asia;

               7) Expand the OHCHR presence through national human rights advisers attached to the UNCT at the national level gradually in key countries and set up stand-alone offices , where appropriate, supported by the sub-regional offices; the latter could also have some thematic advisers attached to them to support the national advisers and OHCHR presence at the national level, e.g. on the issue of administration of Justice reform;

        8) Promote cooperation and complementarity between the OHCHR and UNCT, bearing in mind that a key value-added of the OHCHR is in regard to human rights protection - the protection of individuals and peoples from the negative impact of the human rights situation, and the encouragement of State and non-State actors to comply with international human rights standards;

              9) Maximize the role of the OHCHR in relation to areas under its mandate where other UN agencies are unable or unwilling to tread, even though they are all now supposed to mainstream human rights into their programming, and ensure that the OHCHR acts as a check­and-balance to promote respect for human rights by the UN family;

             10) Systematize the programming and implementation processes by mainstreaming a participatory, gender-sensitive and victim-responsive approach, with consistent monitoring, evaluation and follow-up, based upon effective preventive actions, protection of human rights and access to redress.
