Highlights of Results Highlights of results 6 OHCHR REPORT 2016 On 10 December, the UN Human Rights Office launched a year- long campaign entitled “Stand up for someone’s rights today.” For the launch, the High Commissioner took part in a Facebook Live session and turned on Geneva’s iconic Jet d’Eau, which was lit up with blue lights at night. The Office participated in the Geneva Lux Festival with a symbolic “tree of human rights” that was artistically illuminated in the Old Town of Geneva. Selfie stands were set up at the airport, downtown Geneva and at the Palais des Nations to inform people about the campaign. Other activities were organized elsewhere by UN Human Rights field presences, the United Nations family and the global human rights community. The “Stand up” campaign will continue to call for action on numerous occasions in 2017. © OHCHR OHCHR REPORT 2016 7 Highlights of results This section highlights the results to which the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR or UN Human Rights) made a meaningful contribution – along side the work of others – in 2016. The results are organized according to thematic priorities established in the OHCHR Management Plan 2014-2017 (OMP). The Office’s work is grounded in a theory of change and thematic expected accomplishments (see annex I) that define the intermediate results towards which the Office contributes in the pursuit of its long-term goal – all human rights for all. OHCHR’s current planning cycle will end in 2017. The majority of our expected accomplishments and targets set out in the OMP therefore are forecasted to be achieved by the end of that year. In 2016, an estimated 18 per cent of national expected accomplishments, planned to be realized by the end of the four-year planning cycle covering 2014-2017, were fully or partially achieved and good progress was made on 29 per cent of those expected accomplishments. Annex II provides an overview of the extent to which the targets have been achieved. For a general overview of OHCHR’s role in the human rights developments set out below, please refer to the end of this chapter. For a more detailed description of OHCHR’s specific role in these results, please refer to the chapters on OHCHR’s field presences and headquarter divisions that can be found on the USB key that is annexed to this report or on the Office’s website.

  • Overview of UNHCR's Operations in the Americas
    Regional update - Americas Executive Committee of the 19 September 2017 English High Commissioner’s Programme Original: English and French Sixty-eighth session Geneva, 2-6 October 2017 Overview of UNHCR’s operations in the Americas A. Situational context including new developments Colombia situation The Colombian Government has been implementing the peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) since December 2016. The FARC have since turned over more than 7,000 weapons and begun reintegrating into civilian communities. Within this context, UNHCR is supporting the United Nations’ efforts to help stabilize the FARC “demobilization zones” through inter-agency needs assessments and the development of a common response plan. However, the humanitarian situation remains challenging, with illegal armed groups resorting to violence and triggering displacement in remote areas. UNHCR continues to monitor and raise awareness of new displacement, including along the Pacific coast and in the border areas. In Ecuador, UNHCR provides ongoing technical assistance to the Government in relation to the regulatory decree of the human mobility law, which incorporates some of UNHCR’s recommendations. At their request, UNHCR is helping to draft legislation to facilitate the implementation of the law. In addition, the Office is providing technical assistance with other regulations, key protocols and resolutions. With the number of asylum claims, mainly lodged by Colombians and Venezuelans, increasing by 29 per cent when compared to the same period in 2016, UNHCR also supports efforts to strengthen the asylum system. Venezuela situation The deteriorating political and economic situation in Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) has continued to generate population outflows.

The incum- bent PRI thus entered the 2018 electoral season in a weak position, with reduced chances of defeating its main opposition candidate, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, of the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA). Keywords: economic performance, Mexican earthquake, public security, NAFTA, PRI, public opinion, Mexico RESUMEN El débil desempeño, la alta inflación y la devaluación del peso crearon un escenario de críti- cas hacia las decisiones económicas y fiscales del partido en el gobierno, el Partido Revolucio- nario Institucional (PRI), y de igual forma facilitaron que el presidente Enrique Peña Nieto tuviera una baja tasa de aprobación. El PRI inició el periodo electoral de 2018 en una posi- ción débil, lo cual redujo sus posibilidades de derrotar al principal candidato de oposición, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, del Movimiento de Regeneración Nacional (MORENA). Palabras clave: desempeño económico, terremoto mexicano, seguridad pública, TLCAN, PRI, opinion pública, México EDWIN ATILANO ROBLES • ALLYSON LUCINDA BENTON I. INTRODUCTION Ongoing weak economic growth, important social concerns, and deteriorating security conditions during 2017 put the incumbent Institutional Revolutionary Party (Partido Revolucionario Institucional or PRI) at a disadvantage ahead of the 2018 presidential race.
