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.

Portugal updated the Council on its voluntary commitment to establish a national human rights commission, which would be an inter-ministerial body with the competence to coordinate the implementation at the national level of all its international human rights obligations and voluntary commitments. It would ensure not only the follow-up to the universal periodic review exercise, but also the timely and adequate reporting to all international human rights bodies. It would also ensure the translation of all its international commitments into obligations at the national level, thus leading to national legislation and to the set-up of concrete policies and plans. The institutional set-up of the commission would be approved by the Council of Ministers on 18 March 2010.
