A/HRC/21/32 OHCHR with documented information, including the preliminary findings of the special commission of inquiry on the Al-Houla incident. The Government did not address the question of an OHCHR field presence in its note verbale. 77. On 1 June 2012, at the nineteenth special session of the Human Rights Council, all special procedures mandate holders presented a joint statement in which they deplored the alarming deterioration of the situation of human rights in the Syrian Arab Republic, emphasizing that all available information indicated that crimes against humanity, and possibly other crimes under international law, had been committed. The mandate holders called on the authorities to provide full and unhindered access to, inter alia, the special procedures. 78. Requests for visits to the Syrian Arab Republic by special procedures mandate holders of the Human Rights Council, including those by the Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association and the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons, remained pending. On 13 July 2012, the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions addressed a request to visit to the country. M. Efforts by the Secretary-General 79. In paragraph 19 of its resolution 19/22, the Human Rights Council invited me to take the measures necessary to support the efforts of the League of Arab States to achieve a peaceful solution to the situation in the Syrian Arab Republic. 80. It should be recalled that the Plan of Action of the League of Arab States of 2 November 2011, and the League’s decisions of 22 January and 12 February 2012, were endorsed by the General Assembly in its resolution 66/253. In this context, I continued to support the efforts of the Joint Special Envoy of the United Nations and the League of Arab States, whose mandate was based on resolution 66/253 and therefore reflected all relevant decisions of the League of Arab States. A detailed account of my efforts in this context was presented in my letters dated 25 and 27 May 2012 to the Security Council (S/2012/363 and S/2012/368), as well as in my report on the implementation of Security Council resolution 2043 (2012) (S/2012/523). 81. During the period under review, I consistently called on all parties to step back from the ever-deepening confrontation and to cooperate with UNSMIS. I urged them to recommit in good faith to the fulfilment of their obligations under the six-point plan of the Joint Special Envoy, following the path outlined by the Action Group on 30 June 2012 with a view to paving the way for an inclusive Syrian-led political process to address the legitimate aspirations and concerns of the Syrian people. 17
