A/HRC/39/21 IV. Participatory rights of institutions with A status in United Nations mechanisms and processes 42. The Human Rights Council and the General Assembly, in their respective resolutions 16/21 and 65/281 on reviewing the work and functioning of the Human Rights Council, have granted increased opportunities and visibility to national human rights institutions with A status. In particular, under the universal periodic review, the stakeholders’ reports include a section dedicated to the contributions of national human rights institutions. Moreover, during the review of a Member State, institutions with A status are entitled to intervene immediately after the presentation of that State during the adoption of the outcome by the Human Rights Council plenary. Institutions with A status are also able to intervene immediately after the State concerned during the interactive dialogue between the Human Rights Council and special procedure mandate holders following their presentation of their country mission reports. Furthermore, institutions with A status may nominate candidates for special procedure mandates. 43. In its resolution 72/181, the General Assembly encourages all relevant United Nations mechanisms and processes, in accordance with their respective mandates, to further enhance the participation of national human rights institutions compliant with the Paris Principles and to allow them to contribute. 44. Thus, in March 2018, the Commission on the Status of Women encouraged its secretariat to continue its consideration of the enhanced participation of national human rights institutions with A status. In June 2018, national human rights institutions were accredited to the Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In July 2018, the Open-ended Working Group on Ageing invited national human rights institutions compliant with the Paris Principles to contribute to its ninth session, in accordance with the rules of procedure of the General Assembly. Institutions with A status were also invited to contribute to the global compact for migration at all stages of its development. V. Conclusions and recommendations 45. The Paris Principles, and the general observations of the Subcommittee on Accreditation interpreting them, remain the basis upon which the Subcommittee accredits national human rights institutions. 46. The interdependence and indivisibility of human rights require that the mandate of national human rights institutions be broad, as set out in the Paris Principles, to include the promotion and protection of all human rights — civil, political, economic, social and cultural — for everyone. 47. The abolition of the C status accreditation classification in 2015 should not imply that all institutions reviewed for accreditation be granted at least B status, as this would undermine the credibility of accredited A status institutions and of the accreditation process. 48. Members of the Subcommittee participate as impartial, objective and independent experts, without consideration of national, regional and/or political considerations, as required by the rules of procedure. 49. Regional networks of national human rights institutions attend the sessions of the Subcommittee on Accreditation as observers. They should not advocate for a particular accreditation classification nor voice their opinions on the recommendations formulated by the Subcommittee. To ensure the credibility of the 8
