(f) The Special Rapporteur recommends that all States include adequate
guarantees to ensure compliance with human rights, including the requirement of legality

74. With specific reference to the United Nations and its human rights mechanisms, the
Special Rapporteur makes the following recommendations:
(a) The Special Rapporteur recommends that all relevant special procedures and
mechanisms of the Human Rights Council and human rights treaty bodies consider the
protection and promotion of human rights within their mandates, with a special focus on
economic, social and cultural rights, in the context of measures to combat terrorism, and
coordinate their efforts as appropriate, in order to promote a consistent approach to this
subject. He recommends that the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for
Human Rights continue to update its digest of jurisprudence on the protection of human
rights while countering terrorism and include in that compilation a new section on treaty
body and special procedures practice with regard to economic, social and cultural rights;
(b) The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Committee on Economic, Social
and Cultural Rights and other treaty bodies that have economic, social and cultural rights
within their mandates develop a systematic practice of addressing counter-terrorism
measures by States while monitoring the implementation of respective treaties. In
particular, the Special Rapporteur recommends that the Committee on Economic, Social
and Cultural Rights adopt a general comment on economic, social and cultural rights and
combating terrorism.
