A/HRC/22/27 Declaration means to them and their communities, and on whether the Declaration is still relevant and meaningful to their context. They also raised creative ideas to help promote awareness of the Declaration and support its implementation. D. Regional and country engagement activities 33. Throughout 2012, the OHCHR Regional Office for Europe continued engaging on the rights of Roma and Travellers in Europe. In January, the Regional Office hosted a twoday meeting in Brussels of the Roma Civil Society Group on the Right to Health, as part of a broader inter-agency initiative on Roma women’s and children’s health led by the World Health Organization. In June, the Regional Office held a colloquium in Rome on a human rights-based approach to Roma inclusion and Roma active citizenship, with representatives from States, European Union institutions and civil society. 34. Through continuous engagement with national and local authorities in several countries as well as with civil society partners, the Regional Office consistently argued for the right to culturally appropriate accommodation for Travellers, and for respect for United Nations guidelines on forced evictions, the rights of the child and inclusive, nonsegregating solutions for Roma. 35. The Regional Office for the Pacific supported the Government of Fiji by hosting stakeholder consultations on the State report to be submitted under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. The consultation brought together Government entities responsible for the drafting of the report and civil society organizations working on issues relating to racial discrimination and national, religious and linguistic minorities in Fiji. Similarly, the Regional Office is engaging with the Government of Fiji to follow up recommendations from the universal periodic review, including those relating to minorities. 36. OHCHR-Colombia has been supporting a project aimed at collecting, in a transparent and inclusive manner, the visions, positions and recommendations of Colombian ethnic groups with regard to their right to consultation. Using a methodology validated with Colombian ethnic representatives and based on discussions involving more than 3,300 persons from, inter alia, indigenous, Raizal, Palenquero, Roma and Afrodescendant communities, OHCHR contributed to strengthening the individual ethnic organizations and helping rights holders claim their rights. As a direct consequence of the project, a number of ethnic communities initiated a process of internal reflection and discussion that led to the adoption of regional guidelines and protocols on ways they are to be consulted by external actors. OHCHR is using the recommendations resulting from the participatory process in political dialogue with relevant institutions in the current debate on a possible legal framework to be adopted on the right to consult. 37. The Human Rights Advisor in the Republic of Moldova worked extensively with Government and civil society representatives to support the adoption in May 2012 of the State’s first comprehensive anti-discrimination law (Act on Ensuring Equality). Following the mission by the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, OHCHR worked with UNDP to provide key civil society actors with grant support to monitor freedom of religion or belief in the Republic of Moldova. Other OHCHR activities in the Republic of Moldova included: providing support in the creation of a network of Roma community mediators; supporting the national human rights institution to help build strategic discrimination cases, following a March 2011 recommendation by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination urging that the national human rights institution use its legal powers to advocate in courts on behalf of victims of discrimination (CERD/C/MDA/CO/8-9, para. 12); and supporting a joint study (UNWomen/UNDP/OHCHR) on the situation of Roma women in the Republic of Moldova. 9
