Cooperation with the Counter-Terrorism Committee and its Executive Directorate 15. The Counter-Terrorism Committee and its Executive Directorate continue to take account of relevant human rights concerns in their work programmes focused on the implementation of Security Council resolution 1373 (2001) and 1624 (2005). On 24 October 2013, the Committee, under the chairmanship of Morocco, was briefed by the High Commissioner and discussed the impact of broad and abusive counter-terrorism laws on dissident voices, human rights defenders, journalists, minorities and indigenous peoples. The Committee also held thematic discussions on several issues relevant to resolutions 1373 (2001) and 1624 (2005) all of which had human rights aspects. This included consideration of adoption by Member States of special criminal procedures to investigate and prosecute terrorism-related offences and the human rights safeguards adopted in this regard, such as sunset clauses, the independent review of counter-terrorism legislation and consultations with civil society on draft counter-terrorism legislation. 16. Under the chairmanship of Lithuania since January 2014, the Counter-Terrorism Committee has held discussions on the use of the Internet for terrorist purposes and on respect for freedom of expression and the right to privacy, as well as a discussion on the need for counter-terrorism laws and policies not to unduly hinder humanitarian access to populations in need. The Committee also held an open special meeting on kidnapping for ransom and terrorist hostage-taking in which a member of the Human Rights Council Advisory Committee participated. In its revised process for assessing implementation of Security Council resolutions 1373 (2001) and 1624 (2014), the Committee routinely discusses with Member States a variety of human rights issues. In addition, the Committee recently conducted a preliminary analysis of gaps in the capacity of Member States to implement resolutions 1373 (2001) and 1624 (2005) that may hinder the ability of States to stem the flow of foreign terrorist fighters, as requested by the Council in its resolution 2178 (2014). This included gaps in compliance with human rights obligations and the rule of law, in particular those relating to the lack of clarity or precision in counter-terrorism laws, failure to ensure fair treatment and due process for persons accused of terrorist offences, and issues relating to compliance with international refugee law. 17. In accordance with General Assembly resolution 68/178, the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate continued to liaise with OHCHR, the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights while countering terrorism and other human rights mechanisms and mandate holders, including in relation to the preparation of and follow-up to country visits and the facilitation of technical assistance.
