This strategy will include key objectives aligned with current requirements, most notably strengthening cooperation and capacity-building for civil society organizations, in addition to intensifying training programs targeting employees in various government sectors, thereby contributing to the consolidation of justice and equality and the promotion of a human rights culture.

The Bureau also discussed proposals for establishing new advisory working groups concerned with various general rights and freedoms, similar to the existing advisory group specialized in civil society organizations active in the field of human rights.
