A/HRC/8/13
page 19
62. States should cooperate openly and without reservation with the special procedures of
the Human Rights Council in this area. In the sphere of the Global Counter-Terrorism
Strategy, I encourage all States to issue a standing invitation to all special procedures of the
Human Rights Council, in particular to the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and
protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism.
63. Finally, States should strengthen the national capacities of their human rights
institutions; provide training to their law enforcement authorities - including intelligence,
customs and immigration services - on international human rights laws and standards,
with proper remedies to ensure accountability. Failure by States to safeguard human rights
in this area will lead directly toward increased instability and decreased legitimacy of
Governments, to polarization in and between societies and to increasing radicalization.
