Overview
The Office of the United Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) Emergency Response Teams (ERTs) were created in 2017 and are located within its Regional Offices (ROs). The ERTs were originally designed to respond to the need of OHCHR for Early Warning and Early Action. Currently, ERTs are located in the ROs in West Africa (WARO, Dakar, Senegal), Southern Africa (SARO, Pretoria, South Africa), Southeast Asia (SEARO, Bangkok, Thailand), Central America (ROCA, Panama City, Panama), South America (ROSA, Santiago, Chile) and Central Africa Sub-regional Centre (CARO, Yaoundé, Cameroon).
