Country Experiences of Monitoring (Guatemala & South Africa)
In Guatemala, the Human Rights Ombudsman (PDH) prepares an extensive annual report and submits it to the National Congress. These reports highlight the monitoring findings of investigations into human rights violations such as gender based violence, the denial of fair trial rights, and denial of access to food, education, and healthcare.
In South Africa, the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) conducts preliminary need assessments through public hearings regarding public interventions and strategies and administrative practices and programmes. The SAHRC then prepares a report based on these assessments for the national parliament.13
