A/HRC/43/37 information on shortfalls or barriers to further progress, and request international capacity-building and technical assistance to help them overcome such barriers. It will also provide a space for recipients of international support for human rights capacitybuilding and technical assistance to report back regularly to their international partners and give them an opportunity to document good practices. 61. The creation of a mechanism combining all the existing efforts and initiatives to enhance the implementation of human rights recommendations would be invaluable. It is therefore recommended that the Council set up a human rights recommendations implementation facility,16 to be administered by OHCHR. States could seek support to assess their specific needs and to identify possible partners to help them meet those needs, including through the development and delivery of assistance and support for capacity-building. Training materials, case studies, and information on good practices would be made available. In addition, assistance to States would be provided to facilitate access to assistance from regional and multilateral agencies, bilateral donors and other stakeholders offering various programmes, as appropriate, with a view to ensuring a comprehensive and holistic approach to the implementation of human rights recommendations. In addition, the facility would advocate with States for increased funding for the funds administered by OHCHR, to be made available to States that cannot meet their human rights obligations through other means. Furthermore, the facility would use the proposed voluntary platform for dialogue and cooperation on human rights capacity-building and technical cooperation to enhance dialogue and cooperation for the implementation of human rights recommendations under agenda item 10. The facility would operate under the guidance of a governance structure, consisting of an advisory committee composed of one member from each region. Such a committee would draw up application procedures for assistance by the facility, develop detailed criteria for assistance and screen all requests. C. Need for enhanced early warning/action capacities 62. In assessing the preventive role of the Council and its mechanisms, due regard should be given to their capacity to respond promptly to human rights emergencies, in line with General Assembly resolution 60/251. Such capacity first requires sufficient information through early warnings about emerging situations of concern. In addition, the type of situations that should trigger early warnings needs further definition. Within the Council, there have been proposals for a range of criteria, including calls to action by the Secretary-General, OHCHR or special procedures; whether a State facilitates or obstructs the access of humanitarian actors, human rights defenders and the media; and whether a State cooperates with treaty bodies and the Council. While these are useful signals, the first requirement ought to be the existence of a pattern, rather than isolated instances, of human rights violations. Furthermore, violations must be of a serious or grave nature. Thus, spikes in enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings or emerging patterns of torture and ill-treatment should trigger attention. The targeting by State or non-State actors of human rights defenders, journalists or civil society organizations, who are often the main transmitters of information about human rights emergencies, is also of particular concern as this may also lead to information about any deterioration in the situation not reaching the international community. 63. The Council’s mechanisms have an early warning potential. The High Commissioner also has a critical role to play in bringing early signs of human rights emergencies to the attention of the Council. She does so through statements delivered at the start of each Council session, as well as under agenda item 2. Nevertheless, the early warning capacity of her Office should be strengthened through the setting up of a roster of human rights experts available for deployment at short notice, notably to investigate human rights violations, and through increased capacity to receive and thoroughly analyse early warning signs emanating from all sources, including from special procedures, national human rights institutions, civil society, human rights 16 14 This could be modelled along the lines of the Trade Facilitation Agreement Facility of the World Trade Organization.
