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.

The RMI is a party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). The Women in Development Office and the Child Rights Office have been set up under the Ministry of Internal Affairs to implement the provisions of both conventions and ensure the fulfillment of RMI's obligation. The RMI submitted its initial country report as well as its 2nd Periodic Report to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, but has yet to do so with respect to CEDAW. Although the RMI has ratified only 2 of the core human rights conventions, it is envisaged that the RMI will be in a better position to ratify other conventions. The fact of the matter is, however, that due to capacity and resource constraints, full implementation of the 2 human rights conventions ratified thus far has been difficult already. In the same token, it should be noted that where the construction of a written law is open to more than one interpretation, an interpretation which is consistent with the RMI's international obligations will be preferred. The goal to ratify other human rights conventions remains nevertheless.
