Outputs Undertake legal interventions in instances where there are human rights matters that directly relate to areas of the Commission’s expertise Results Performance measure Standard 2013–14 Quantity At least 2 legal interventions undertaken Quantity measure met Quality Commission’s legal interventions conform and promote international human rights standards, as assessed by external peer review External peer review finds that legal interventions conform and promote international human rights standards The Commission decided that it would undertake at least two legal interventions during 2013–14. The Commission participated as an intervener in six new or ongoing proceedings during the year compared with three in the previous year. Details of these are outlined in the ‘Legal interventions’ section of this report. External review of the three substantive legal submissions prepared prior to the end of the reporting period confirmed that the interventions to which these submissions related: a fulfilled the Commission’s obligation to conform and promote international human rights standards b provided a very important contribution to the courts and tribunal determining the matters. Other legal interventions were not reviewed due to the intervention happening close to the year end. In the previous year, external peer review by lawyers briefed to work on the cases found that the legal interventions conformed and promoted international human rights standards. Annual Report 2014 69
