A/HRC/43/31
113. The principle of international cooperation enshrined in the Charter imposes on
Member States the duty to give full consideration to the principles of mutual benefits
and win-win in all activities related to cooperation in the field of human rights,
including and particularly in technical assistance and capacity-building.
114. Consideration should be given to the establishment of an exchange mechanism
in the Human Rights Council that could enable States to disseminate their best practices
in participation in technical assistance projects, and to summarize and exchange
experiences in a timely manner so as to achieve the goal of strengthening national
implementation of human rights and protection capacities.
115. The Advisory Committee recommends that technical assistance and capacitybuilding on human rights cooperation be focused, with the consent of the State
concerned, on the universal periodic review.
116. The Advisory Committee also recommends that the Human Rights Council keep
technical assistance, capacity-building and mutually beneficial cooperation under
consideration in its future work, and consider the opportunity of appointing a special
procedure with a mandate to report and advise on technical assistance, capacitybuilding and mutually beneficial cooperation, and contribute to the development of
international standards on those subjects.
