A/HRC/23/25 (d) Explore ways to ensure greater synergies between the Commission complaint procedures and Human Rights Council mechanisms. This could include inviting the Chair of the Commission to address the Council and to exchange views when the Council considers the question of violence against women. (e) Encourage Human Rights Council geographic and thematic special procedures to follow up on, and incorporate into their work, the findings and recommendations in resolutions and agreed conclusions relevant to the Commission, as well as the patterns of injustice and discrimination against women identified by the Working Group on Communications. (f) Ensure adequate consideration to findings and recommendations contained in Commission resolutions and agreed conclusions in the context of relevant Human Rights Council thematic and country-specific work and debates. 43. It is recommended that strengthened synergies and linkages are forged between the Human Rights Council and the Commission, so as to ensure that the human rights perspective, as it relates to violence against women, is integrated in United Nations discussions concerning the prevention of crime and the promotion of fair and effective criminal justice systems. The following recommendations may be considered in this regard: (a) As appropriate and feasible, encourage invitations to the Special Rapporteur and other relevant mandates to address Commission and the Crime Congress. (b) Promote close collaboration and consultation between Commission and the Special Rapporteur and other relevant procedures, including in the context of relevant Commission thematic discussions and open-ended working groups. (c) Promote and encourage the exchange and distribution of relevant Human Rights Council reports to the Commission under the standing item on the “use and application of United Nations standards and norms on crime prevention and criminal justice”. (d) Give adequate consideration to relevant Commission reports, studies and recommendations in the context of the thematic work of the Human Rights Council on violence against women. D.
