strategic plans, provision of the SDGs data, development in linking human rights complaints and SDGs databases, and development of the SDGs-based human rights instruments.103 For indirect monitoring of the SDGs, the ICHR carries out the following activities: analysis of government budget based on human rights, receipt of human rights complaints, processing of human rights data, and periodical monitoring of human rights.104 In the webinar and interview, Farid also emphasized that the approach taken in the monitoring process was not only focused on the number of reports / complaints received by the ICHR.105 However, the underlying aspect which became the origin of the report also becomes a concern of the ICHR.106 4.2.4. What are the Challenges in Optimizing the Implementation of SDGs Activities? Externally, the challenge faced by the ICHR is the impression that the ICHR has a limited role in Indicator 16.a.1. and has nothing to do with the SDGs in general (Agenda 2030).107 Internally, the challenges faced were the full workload of the ICHR staff and the perception that the SDGs implementation was additional work.108 Further, the ICHR also has limitations for capacity building related to participation in international activities.109 According to Farid, the SDGs and Human Rights are mutually related, but Farid provides a note on human rights that are wider in scope than the SDGs.110 As a result of this, not all human rights issues can be covered by the SDGs.111 4.2.5. What are the Solutions to the Challenges Faced in the Implementation of SDGs Activities? In the interview session, Farid stated the importance of other national institutions related to the SDGs to realize that the role of the ICHR is actually more than just indicator 16.a.1.112 Farid on a different occasion also explained the need for stakeholders at the Palestinian national level to understand the role of the ICHR and the 2030 Agenda.113 On the internal challenges related to the 103 Ibid.
