A/HRC/2/2 A/HRC/Sub.1/58/36 page 83 remedy to victims of gross violations of human rights. The reforms contained in Economic and Social Council resolution 2000/3 of 16 June 2000 have been unsuccessful and should be modified. HRCC, sitting as a collegial body in plenary meeting, should be assigned once again the function of reviewing the decisions taken by the present Sub-Commission’s Working Group on Communications (as originally established by Economic and Social Council resolution 1503 (XLVIII)). A WG of the Human Rights Council, succeeding the Working Group on Situations of the Commission, should have a preparatory role, aimed at facilitating the Council’s consideration of the situations referred to it, rather than a filtering role; (ii) UPR. If so requested by the Council, HRCC could play a role, provided that this was not to the detriment of its thematic work (see further below); (d) Promote coherence across the human rights system as a whole, by establishing close cooperation and coordination between all parts of the human rights system, and other parts of the international system as appropriate (e.g. the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, the International Law Commission). It is absolutely essential for the intersessional WGs of HRCC to report to HRCC to ensure coherence. In order to achieve this goal, without prejudice to other forms of cooperation and coordination, the expert body should meet for one meeting a year with the thematic special procedures established by the Human Rights Council to examine possible input to be provided by each subsystem to the work of the other so that the Council receives from both of them coherent and well-thought-out proposals, and to consider issues of common interest within the mandate of the expert body (e.g. the identification of thematic or procedural lacunae). The special procedures would continue to report to the Human Rights Council with regard to the exercise of their mandates. The expert body should be represented, on the basis of equal status, at coordination meetings of the special procedures; (e) Contribute to the promotion of human rights by means of active participation not only in activities fostering human rights education at all levels but also by its members participating, in an individual capacity, in the delivery of technical assistance to Member States requesting such international cooperation from OHCHR; and (f) Identify lacunae, challenges and implementation needs and provide follow-up. This would be facilitated by, first, assisting the widest possible participation in the work of the body; second, by giving HRCC the mandate to ensure the coherence of the human rights system as a whole; third, by ensuring that HRCC maintained a general debate, as a separate agenda item; fourth, by ensuring that HRCC maintained a separate agenda item entitled “Identification of lacunae, challenges, implementation needs” and, finally, by ensuring that HRCC maintained a separate agenda item on the follow-up of previous initiatives in the field of human rights. 23. All activities undertaken by HRCC that may have administrative and/or financial implications cannot be undertaken without the explicit authorization of the General Assembly, acting on a recommendation from the Council. 24. HRCC would submit an annual report on its activities to the Council.
