OHCHR framework for a fundamental rights based approach (S-P-O indicators)
Structure • Acceptance and commitments to
human rights standards: laws and policies
Process • Efforts to transform
commitments into desired results: policy measures
Outcome • Results of efforts to
fulfill human rights holders’ experiences
9
Structure (indicators)
• Refer to the existence of legal and policy tools that comply with
EU and international standards in reference to the EU Framework
for National Roma Integration Strategies
• In each area the starting point are the specific commitments to
human rights standards, such as UN and Council of Europe
Treaties and Conventions, as well as the EU Treaties and the EU
Charter of Fundamental Rights.
• These commitments are summarized in the Council
recommendation of 9 December 2013 on effective Roma integration
measures in the Member States (2013/C 378/01)

The Sustainable Development Goal indicators
Advantages for Roma inclusion indicators:
• go beyond Europe 2020
• consider minorities and other vulnerable groups
• provide comparability with the general population
• include process indicators
Challenges:
• some indicators can only be approximated (e.g income)
• restricted comparability
• detailed breakdowns in survey data often not possible
• identifying process indicators for sub-groups and minorities

Concluding remarks
Application of S-P-O indicators framework to the SDGs
could boost their policy relevance and effectiveness
S-P-O puts more responsibility on the duty bearer
S-P-O links individual goals to human rights standards
and legal commitments
Links the achieved results to the policy cycle and
commitment in the respective countries
Crucial to develop human rights principles in data
collection and to raise awareness
