What are national frameworks to promote, protect and monitor implementation of the Convention?
The notion of a national framework to promote, protect and monitor the Convention is relatively open. The Convention recognizes that such frameworks might differ from country to country by allowing flexibility to establish the frameworks in accordance with each State’s legal and administrative system. However, the Convention also requires that whatever body is established must be independent. Normally, national frameworks will include at least establishing some form of independent national human rights institution such as a Human Rights Commission or Ombudsman’s Office. However, a framework could contain other elements such as courts.
