A/HRC/39/54 52. The Special Rapporteur encourages the Secretary-General to consider appointing one or more special representatives on unilateral coercive measures to limit and ultimately abolish the use of unilateral coercive measures, ensuring that sanctions are only applied through the Security Council in accordance with Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations. 53. Finally, the Special Rapporteur requests that Member States begin consultations on a draft declaration on unilateral coercive measures and the rule of law, incorporating the elements proposed in the annex to the present report, to be presented at an upcoming session of the General Assembly, to establish an international consensus on the minimum human rights protections which must be applied to the use of unilateral coercive measures. 17
