OFFICE OF THE HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS, REGIONAL OFFICE FOR EUROPE

Based in Brussels since 2009, the Regional Office for Europe is one of the 80+
field presences of the UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) around the world working
to advance the protection and promotion of human rights for all, supported by
headquarters in Geneva.





AGENCY OVERVIEW




The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN Human Rights) is
the leading UN entity on human rights. We represent the world’s commitment to
the promotion and protection of the full range of human rights and freedoms set
out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Both the High Commissioner and the Office have a unique role to:

 * Promote and protect all human rights: We speak out objectively in the face of
   human rights violations and help elaborate the standards that are used to
   evaluate human rights progress worldwide.
 * Help empower people: Our research, education, and advocacy activities,
   contributes to the increased awareness and engagement by the international
   community and the public on human rights issues. This means thousands of
   people in all regions of the world are empowered to claim their rights.
 * Assist Governments: Through our field presences, we help prevent abuses and
   contribute to defusing situations that could lead to conflict. Our monitoring
   and analysis feeds sensitive decision-making and development programming. We
   also provide capacity-building and legal advice to thousands, supporting the
   development and judicious enactment of laws and policies the world around.
 * Inject a human rights perspective into all UN programmes: We mainstream human
   rights into all UN programmes to ensure that peace and security, development,
   and human rights – the three pillars of the UN – are interlinked and mutually
   reinforced.

The Regional Office for Europe’s (ROE) primary function is to advance human
rights in the European Union (EU) through technical assistance, advocacy, and
reporting on human rights, based on the recommendations of UN human rights
mechanisms. ROE works to address human rights gaps in EU legislation, budgeting
and policy-making, seizing the impetus created by the Sustainable Development
Agenda. In addition, ROE strives for the integration of a human rights-based
approach in EU external action, migration policies and development cooperation.
The Office further fulfils an outreach, liaison between the UN Human Rights
Office globally and the EU institutions.

Key Areas of Work

The priorities of the Regional Office for Europe were decided following
consultations with a broad range of stakeholders. They are based on the global
priorities and theory of change of the UN Human Rights Office. The Regional
