Risk Assessment and Recommendation of Collective Protection measures Committee

The Committee on Risk Assessment and Recommendation of Measures is an inter-institutional space created in 2015 as part of the Collective Protection Protocol headed by the National Unit of Protection UNP. The purpose of the committee is to study the cases presented by the UNP and, eventually, to assign the respective security schemes to individuals or groups whose integrity is threatened, such as social leaders, journalists, human rights defenders, women's groups, among others. In addition to the officials of state entities and representatives of the UN, four delegates from each of the target populations of the Prevention and Protection Program are part of the committee, who are exclusively involved in the analysis of the cases of the population group they represent.

Institutional design

?

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?

Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?

Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
