A/HRC/24/20
31.
The Chairperson summed up a menu of options discussed during the
workshop, to be considered by the Human Rights Council in accordance with political
feasibility and financial possibility. The options proposed during the workshop
included devoting an annual human rights mainstreaming panel discussion of the
Human Rights Council to the issue of “unilateral coercive measures and human
rights”; drawing up guidelines to prevent, minimize and redress the adverse impact of
unilateral coercive measures on human rights; tasking the Advisory Committee with
an overall review of independent mechanisms to assess unilateral coercive measures
and to promote accountability; strengthening the capacity of OHCHR in this field;
and setting up a working group, a special procedure or mandating an existing special
procedure to deal with this thematic issue.
