D. Transparency 18. Effective implementation of the policy requires the understanding and cooperation of all stakeholders, including donor and programme countries, troop- and police-contributing countries and host countries of United Nations peacekeeping and political missions. Each entity mandated to or anticipating support for non‐United Nations security forces shall engage proactively with Member States and other relevant partners and stakeholders to explain the policy. 19. Before engaging in support to non-United Nations security forces, the responsible senior United Nations official[s] (e.g. Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Resident Coordinator, country representative) should inform the recipient authority/ies in writing of the United Nations core principles for support to non-United Nations security forces under this policy. In particular, recipients should be notified that United Nations support cannot be provided to units that fall under the command of individuals against whom there are substantiated allegations of grave violations of international humanitarian, human rights or refugee law. The recipient authority should also be advised of procedures or mechanisms to implement the policy, as outlined in section III below. It should be made clear to the recipient that, in order to sustain the support, the United Nations is obligated to continuously assess whether or not the recipient’s actions are consistent with the Organization’s obligations under the relevant bodies of law. While advocacy and communication may be undertaken by a specific United Nations entity, it should be coordinated to promote consistency across the United Nations in-country, and the most senior United Nations official in a given country (Special Representative of the Secretary-General and/or Resident Coordinator) should be kept informed of such steps. III. Ensuring effective implementation A. Elements of an implementation framework 20. Implementation of the human rights due diligence policy must take into account the specific mandates of the United Nations entity concerned, as well as the nature and extent of the support, and the political and operational context in which it is delivered.

Each United Nations entity providing support must develop an implementation framework in accordance with its management practices in order to ensure compliance with this policy. That framework should be clearly set out in a standing operating procedure or similar instrument. The framework should, where relevant, be reported to the entity’s mandating body. Such a framework should include, as required: (a) Resources required to effectively manage delivery of the support and to monitor and evaluate its impact; (b) Incentives or other accompanying measures aimed at improving compliance by the recipient with international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law; (c) Mechanisms for the effective monitoring of the recipient’s behaviour to detect grave violations of international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law and the recipient institution’s responses to any violations (such mechanisms should include procedures for regular reporting from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and from the offices of the Special Representatives of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict); The present policy is not intended in any way to hinder the normal work of the Organization aimed at encouraging respect for international humanitarian, human rights or refugee law, including developing capacity as well as investigating and reporting on violations of those bodies of law and interceding with relevant authorities to protest those violations, secure remedial action and prevent their repetition. The policy is intended to complement those normal processes. II. Human rights due diligence policy A. Scope of the policy 6. The human rights due diligence policy applies to all United Nations entities providing support to non-United Nations security forces. It therefore applies not only to peacekeeping operations and special political missions, but also to all United Nations offices, agencies, funds and programmes that engage in such activities. B. Definitions 7. For the purpose of this policy, “non-United Nations security forces” include: (a) National military, paramilitary, police, intelligence services, border-control and similar security forces; (b) (ii) Combined with a failure to take effective measures to investigate and prosecute the violators. 13. “United Nations” includes any office, department, agency, programme, fund, operation or mission of the United Nations. C. Risk assessment 14. Before engaging in support, the United Nations entity directly concerned must conduct an assessment of the potential risks and benefits involved in providing support. This assessment should include consideration of the following elements (where a United Nations entity has an existing mechanism in place, this may be used to conduct the assessment in accordance with paragraph 19 below): (a) The record of the intended recipient(s) in terms of compliance or non‐compliance with international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law, including any specific record of grave violations;
