Draft:
Rights defenders might be involved in INSPIRED projects if reform projects' include rights' components. Their inputs are highly valuable in INSPIRED projects due to genuine practical knowledge of provisions preventing access to rights, be it in the national framework or related to the implementation of international commitments. Human Rights bodies enjoy legitimacy from the side of the Government, and from the citizens, thus participate in upholding and strengthening people's rights in different spheres.
Partner countries often fail to implement binding treaties on Human Rights due to lack of political incentives but also due to the difficulty of operationalising such provisions into national legislations. Involving such bodies in consultations helps participants to have impartial legal expertise on the issues tackled, and ultimately producing high-quality Roadmap.
