A/HRC/44/28 Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict (CRC/C/OPAC/VUT/CO/1, para. 18). 3. Special procedures of the Human Rights Council Special procedure mandate holders have consistently promoted cooperation in the implementation of their mandates and have underlined the important role of international cooperation in the field of human rights. Mandate holders have engaged with various stakeholders at the local, national, regional and international levels and promoted cooperation among all of them. Throughout the year, mandate holders have sought closer cooperation with the wider United Nations system and agencies, programmes and funds, and with regional mechanisms, including by raising awareness of their mandates and conducting joint activities with the overall objective of ensuring that human rights have the place they deserve. Special procedure mandate holders have also contributed to bringing a human rights perspective to various processes, such as the Sustainable Development Goals, migration and climate change. Through their thematic reports and recommendations made after their visits to countries, mandate holders have also addressed issues of importance for international cooperation. The list of themes addressed by special procedures, their recommendations to States and other stakeholders and information on relevant activities by mandate holders are available in A/HRC/43/64 and Add.1 and A/HRC/43/65. For example, special procedure mandate holders have been assessing and giving concrete recommendations to States on how to integrate human rights in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals by addressing the issue in their thematic reports, issuing open letters, participating in meetings, and raising matters related to the Goals during country visits. In several reports, they have also addressed cross-cutting issues such as the environment, conflict prevention, humanitarian issues and migration. V. Possible ways to face the challenges to the promotion and protection of human rights, including the right to development, and opportunities to overcome them The present report is submitted against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented crisis with profound human rights implications. The year 2020 also marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of the United Nations (see General Assembly resolution 73/299), and the 100th anniversary of the League of Nations. These anniversaries provide an opportunity to emphasize the meaning of “we the peoples” for today; to recommit to the spirit and values, principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations; and to reimagine the role of the United Nations as a proponent of ideas, a catalyst for action and a driver of multilateral solutions to global problems, including the unfolding human crisis caused by COVID-19. States must reaffirm their commitment to the universality of human rights, under which, across all political and economic systems, all States share a common obligation to respect all human rights – civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to development. Now more than ever, States must work together to create a social and international order which enables everyone, everywhere, to live with freedom from want and freedom from fear. OHCHR continues to review and adjust its work to best respond to evolving political, economic, social and institutional challenges, including growing inequalities, rising nationalism, climate change, environmental degradation and declining multilateralism. The Office is committed to taking full advantage of the opportunities provided by the 2030 Agenda, the United Nations development system reform and the Secretary-General’s focus on prevention and his call to action to advance all human rights for all people. Everyone must act together to heed all aspects of this call, which gain new urgency in light of COVID-19. Income inequality, the unequal sharing of the benefits of economic growth, and lack of access to basic services are among the root causes of many of the mass protests that the world has witnessed recently. Now these gaps are also exacerbating the impact of COVID14
