With the mandate to promote and protect human rights, OHCHR concentrates its efforts on the fight against poverty, inequality, and discrimination through monitoring and direct action. OHCHR works to ensure that national institutions, laws, and programs comply with human rights standards, that governments implement the recommendations of UN human rights mechanisms and bodies, and that steps are taken to allow groups that are marginalized or discriminated against to participate in public policy decision-making and monitoring processes. Advertisements Examples includes various creative visual elements which attract consumers with more effectiveness than a newspaper advertising. While OHCHR does not have youth as a specific priority, in the Latin American context, it is working extensively on issues related to public safety and violence, and especially on organized crime, drug trafficking, and juvenile gangs, all of which are significant youth issues in the context. In 2008–9, OHCHR had a presence in ten countries of the region. No information was found in the public domain relating to expenditure on youth-related programming.
