Policy Advisory Services The Policy advisory services include the issuance of human rights advisories, position papers, statements and comments on existing and proposed legislations, local ordinances, and programs and practices of government bodies. This extends to the formulation of policy guidelines, implementing rules and regulations on new and/or special human rights laws, and such other program measures. The Commission conducts legal research and policy studies to translate international human rights treaties and standards into domestic laws. Under the program, the Commission prepares independent reports on the government’s implementation of the HR treaty provisions. 9
