- State under Review
- Recommendation
While the RMI does have offices established to oversee the fulfillment of RMI's obligations to the CRC and CEDAW, there is no body or office specifically established to comprehensively address human rights. It is hoped, however, that with technical and financial assistance from the international community, such a national human rights institution will be established, or, alternatively, the establishment of a regional human rights office. Such an office would enhance RMI's public awareness and training efforts with respect to human rights. Until such an office is realized, the Government and Non-Governmental Organizations have conducted various awareness programs on human rights, but only on specific thematic areas such as health, youth, and women issues. Despite being limited, it is important that these programs continue to assure awareness of at least these issues. For the consultations on this Report, although people were aware of their rights, they did not fully understand what those were and role the Government played in ensuring the protection and promotion of those rights. More to the point, there is more awareness on land rights than other rights.
