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.
