Description
Transparency and participation in the National Plan on
Human Rights Education
Commitment start and end date: September 2018 to June 2020.
Institution or actor responsible for the implementation: the Presidency of the Republic –
Secretariat of Human Rights.
New commitment.
Theme: Culture – Education, Human Rights
Commitment description
What is the commitment? To consolidate the institutional framework of the National Plan on
Human Rights Education as a public policy that addresses actions
for the development of a human rights culture, incorporating
mechanisms to monitor and follow up the commitments undertaken
by the participating institutions, along with participation and access
to information.
What is the problem that the
commitment will address?
The culture of commitment to the dignity of all individuals and to
the recognition and respect of human rights is only partially rooted
in societies and institutions. The concept of three estates and of
contempt for certain groups continue to have a strong presence in
cultural traditions. Racism, the stigmatization and exclusion of
people living in poverty, sexism, xenophobia and homophobia are
just some of its manifestations. Moreover, today we are
experiencing backward trends, whilst the efforts made by various
actors to build a culture of human rights are not sufficient to
counteract them and advance in the development of a culture of
human rights. There are disjointed actions that do not interact with
each other and that are not linked to a political debate on the
strategic projection of a public policy in this area. There are few
operational plans in institutions that correlate with the PNEDH.
There are no institutionalized mechanisms for monitoring and
follow-up, nor for access to information, accountability and
participation associated with the PNEDH.
How will the commitment
contribute to solving the problem?
The commitment will contribute to institutionalizing the PNEDH
from a human rights and open government perspective. First, it will
define a set of agency commitments in operational plans with
goals and indicators, which will make it possible to monitor the
implementation of these commitments. The mechanism for
monitoring commitments and goals will be institutionalized and
public access to information will be guaranteed through a web
platform that will present, in a clear and accessible manner,
information on the degree of fulfilment of the commitments. The
formulation, implementation and evaluation process of the PNEDH
will include civic participation through round-table discussions
which will bring together civil society, the academia, international
organizations and other relevant actors.
OGP value to which this The commitment contributes to transparency since it helps to
improve the quality of the information and public access to it. It
commitment will contribute. also contributes to accountability and participation, firstly through
the implementation of mechanisms to hold public institutions
accountable for their actions, favoring citizen control; and secondly
through the creation and improvement of opportunities enabling
individuals and civil society organizations to participate in public
discussions on relevant policy issues. It will also create and
improve opportunities for individuals and civil society organizations
to influence public policy decision-making.
Additional information
The Education Act assigned the National Commission for Human Rights Education (CNEDH)
the task of proposing general lines of action on the subject. The CNEDH's main purpose is to
formulate and develop the National Plan on Human Rights Education (PNEDH). The PNEDH
development process was taken forward through a participatory process during 2013 and
2014. The input obtained served as a basis to draw up the "Foundations for a National Plan
on Human Rights Education" document, approved by the Coordinating Commission of the
National System of Public Education in 2015 (CCSNEP). In December 2016, the PNEDH was
approved by the CCSNEP. The PNEDH outlines a medium and long-term national strategic
vision aimed at guiding public policies on human rights education in Uruguay.
The Secretariat of Human Rights of the Presidency of the Republic was created by Law No.
19 149 in October 2013 to be the guiding authority of the human rights approach in public
policies of the Executive Branch. In this capacity, its general tasks include: promoting,
designing, supervising, coordinating, evaluating, monitoring and disseminating public policies
with a human rights approach and, in particular, coordinating those policies, the
implementation of which will be carried out in accordance with the Law. In this role, it has
been working since its creation in coordination with SNEP for the design and implementation
of the PNEDH.

Nota editorial: El texto completo del compromiso se encuentra en el Cuarto Plan de Acción Nacional de Gobierno Abierto de Uruguay 2018-2020, disponible aquí: https://goo.gl/XAMbNr
Fecha de inicio: Septiembre 2018 Fecha de término: Junio 2020
Contexto y objetivos
La Ley General de Educación (Ley N.º 18.437) [85], aprobada en 2008, estableció la creación de la Comisión Nacional para la Educación en Derechos Humanos (CNEDH) con el cometido de proponer líneas generales en la materia. La CNEDH se conformó en 2009, con el cometido principal de la formulación y desarrollo del Plan Nacional de Educación en Derechos Humanos (PNEDH).
La construcción del PNEDH fue un proceso participativo de debate que se desarrolló durante 2013 y 2014, con instancias virtuales y presenciales en todo el país. A partir de los insumos del debate, se elaboró el documento “Bases hacia un Plan Nacional de Educación en Derechos Humanos” [86] presentado en 2015. Durante 2015 y 2016 la CNEDH se dedicó a la elaboración de un plan operativo anual y al desarrollo de algunas de las acciones que culminaron con la aprobación del PNEDH en 2016.
El PNEDH es, según se establece en el propio documento, un conjunto de “propuestas de políticas públicas de educación en Derechos Humanos desde una mirada estratégica. La educación en Derechos Humanos va más allá de una incorporación de la temática en planes y programas educativos. Se trata de poder construir un espacio educativo donde esos derechos sean respetados, sean protegidos, sean promovidos y garantizados” [87].
De acuerdo a lo planteado en el texto del compromiso y lo manifestado por la persona referente [88] del Gobierno, actualmente en las instituciones existen muy pocos planes operativos que se correlacionen con el PNEDH. Tampoco existen mecanismos institucionalizados de monitoreo y seguimiento, ni de acceso a la información, rendición de cuentas o participación asociados al PNEDH.
Este compromiso, a cargo de la Secretaría de Derechos Humanos de la Presidencia de la República, busca responder a esas carencias. Para cumplir su objetivo, se propone replicar el modelo de desarrollo de los planes de gobierno abierto de Uruguay a través de las siguientes acciones: convocar a las instituciones de educación públicas y privadas y organizaciones de sociedad civil que realicen acciones de educación en derechos humanos a que registren compromisos voluntarios en un plan operativo junio 2019-junio 2020; realizar mesas de diálogo y desarrollar un mirador del plan siguiendo el modelo del Mirador de Gobierno Abierto desarrollado por AGESIC. Las acciones descritas permiten calificar este compromiso como relevante para los valores de acceso a la información y participación ciudadana.
En el marco de la cocreación del plan de acción, la Secretaría de Derechos Humanos presentó el compromiso en la Mesa Diálogo “Derechos Humanos y Políticas Sociales” el 13 de julio de 2018 [89]. La persona referente del Gobierno manifestó que el compromiso no surge como una demanda externa específica, sino que surge como una “oportunidad que encuentra la CNEDH, que la Secretaría de Derechos Humanos también integra como invitada permanente, de encontrar en la modalidad de gobierno abierto una herramienta para comenzar a concretar algo de lo que al PNEDH le estaba faltando”.
Las acciones propuestas en este compromiso son lo suficientemente específicas para que se puedan verificar por medios objetivos. La implementación de las acciones implica un impacto moderado en tanto se propone implementar un mecanismo de cocreación de compromisos en el marco de una política de gobierno, con diversidad de actores estatales y de la sociedad civil así como generar herramientas que podrán facilitar el monitoreo de los mismos, pero no implica necesariamente un cambio en la política.
Siguientes pasos
El compromiso es una buena apuesta para generar procesos de cocreación, participación y monitoreo, a los cuales sería importante darle seguimiento en un próximo plan para continuar aumentando su ambición.
La puesta a disposición de información en un sitio accesible y de simple visualización es un paso adelante, pero la publicación no garantiza que vaya a haber un ejercicio de monitoreo por parte de la sociedad civil organizada o de la ciudadanía. Tomando en cuenta esto, las investigadoras del IRM consideran que el alcance en términos de gobierno abierto se podría acrecentar en un próximo plan sumando algunas acciones que de forma proactiva potencien la participación y el monitoreo ciudadano. Entre las posibles acciones se pueden mencionar:
- Relevamiento exhaustivo y contacto con las organizaciones de la sociedad que trabajan en las temáticas de derechos humanos en todo el país.
- Desarrollar acciones que apunten al fortalecimiento de las capacidades de las organizaciones para el desarrollo de monitoreos y su sostenibilidad.
- Creación de un grupo permanente multiactoral de seguimiento del plan.
- Difusión del plan y sus compromisos a todos los niveles de la sociedad.
