follow up on universal periodic review third cycle recommendations, and that the country
will spare no efforts to ensure increasing multi-stakeholder and result-oriented action. To that
end, the role of the Inter-ministerial Committee for Human Rights (in Italian, CIDU) as the
national mechanism for reporting and follow-up of Italy was highlighted one more time.
412. Finally, the head of the delegation affirmed that, with the two-fold aim of meeting
growing international expectations with regard to human rights reporting and follow-up and
consistent human rights mainstreaming throughout national policies and legislation, CIDU,
that embodies the four key capacities of national mechanisms for reporting and follow-up,
namely “engagement, coordination, consultation and information management”, and is the
main coordination body of Italy for integrated reporting on recommendations by the United
Nations human rights mechanisms, intends to scale up its relevant action.

conclusions, its voluntary commitments and the outcome
416. The delegation stated that the third cycle of the universal periodic review of El
Salvador had been a positive experience. El Salvador demonstrated openness during its third
review, and was aware of the challenges that must be overcome to fully guarantee human
rights. It recognized that the universal periodic review allows for dialogue between countries,
towards mutual collaboration.

received. It thanked the troika composed by Burkina Faso, Japan and Mexico for their
support. El Salvador also expressed satisfaction at the recognition received from various
States of the progress that it had made in the field of human rights.
418. The recommendations received by El Salvador were also subjected to an internal
consultation process, with the participation of the three State fundamental bodies, and various
national institutions. Through this process, each recommendation was examined and valued
under a human rights-based approach. El Salvador recognized the need to articulate national
GE.
