A/HRC/45/43 calendar year, on or before 1 June of that calendar year. In exceptional circumstances, the Secretariat may decide to alter these dates after having consulted with members and observers. 32. Section 6.6 of the rules of procedure, relating to failure to comply with deadlines, was amended to modify the deadline for submitting an application for reaccreditation. It now indicates that if a national human rights institution fails to submit an application for reaccreditation within six months of receiving notice, its accreditation status may be suspended or may lapse in accordance with article 19 of the Statute. 33. Section 6.7 of the rules of procedure, relating to submissions from third parties, was amended to introduce new deadlines. It now indicates that for national human rights institutions scheduled for review at the Subcommittee’s first session of a given calendar year, third-party submissions must be received by the secretariat on or before 1 October of the preceding calendar year, and for those scheduled for review at the second session of a given calendar year, on or before 1 June of that calendar year. The provision further indicates that the dates for the relevant session of the Subcommittee will be set for no earlier than four months from the deadline for receipt of relevant information and documentation, and that in exceptional circumstances, the secretariat may decide to alter these dates after having consulted with members and observers. IV. Participation by institutions with A status in United Nations mechanisms and processes 34. The Human Rights Council and the General Assembly, in their respective resolutions 16/21 and 65/281 on reviewing the work and functioning of the Human Rights Council, have granted increased opportunities and visibility to national human rights institutions with A status. In particular, under the universal periodic review, stakeholders’ reports contain a separate section dedicated to contributions by such institutions. Moreover, during the review of a Member State, institutions with A status are entitled to intervene immediately after the presentation of that State during the adoption of the outcome by the Human Rights Council plenary. Institutions with A status are also able to intervene immediately after the State concerned, during the interactive dialogue between the Human Rights Council and special procedure mandate holders, following their presentation of their country mission reports. Furthermore, institutions with A status may nominate candidates for special procedure mandates. 35. In its resolution 39/17, the Human Rights Council encourages all relevant United Nations mechanisms and processes, including those related to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its high-level political forum, to strengthen the independent participation of national human rights institutions compliant with the Paris Principles, in accordance with their respective mandates. Furthermore, under Sustainable Development Goal 16 – to promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels – indicator 16.a.1 of the global indicator framework for the Sustainable Development Goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (General Assembly resolution 71/313, annex) refers to the existence of independent national human rights institutions in compliance with the Paris Principles. 36. Following up on these provisions, in March 2019, the Commission on the Status of Women encouraged its secretariat to continue its consideration of the enhanced participation of national human rights institutions with A status. Similarly, in April 2019, the Open-ended Working Group on Ageing invited national human rights institutions fully compliant with the Paris Principles to contribute to its tenth session. In June 2019, national human rights institutions were accredited to the Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Institutions with A status were also invited to contribute at all stages to the Peoples’ Summit on Climate, Rights and Human Survival, in September 2019, and during side events at the twenty-fifth Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, in December 2019. 7
