The Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) examined the relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of the field operations of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in terms of the implementation of its mandate to protect and promote human rights. The evaluation was conducted using surveys, interviews, on-site visits, case studies, direct observation, document reviews and secondary data analyses and was focused on four main questions relating to the criteria outlined below.
Human rights is one of the three pillars of the United Nations, and OHCHR plays a leading role in that regard with its broad mandate to protect and promote all human rights for all. The Office has four types of field presence to implement its mandate: regional offices, country offices, human rights advisers in United Nations country teams and human rights components in peacekeeping missions.
