- State under Review
- Recommendation
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.

To this end, it plans to move ahead in making human rights a cross-cutting concern in the activity of all national institutions by incorporating it in national development plans and by allocating adequate funds for this purpose. Similarly, efforts will be made to establish human rights indicators that make it possible to collect readily compared institutional information and to evaluate improvements in effective protection. At the same time, work is under way to establish an inter-institutional human rights commission that would take an active part in drawing up national reports for the treaty bodies and the universal periodic review mechanism. The commission would also be responsible for disseminating, and ensuring implementation of, the recommendations of these bodies and other human rights mechanisms.
