A/HRC/39/26 60. Finally, the principle of accountability ensures that rights holders may seek redress when duty bearers have not fulfilled their obligations. Remedies are not limited to court interventions, as national judicial systems may be significantly compromised, weakened or entirely inexistent. Access to effective remedies must recognize and remove the specific barriers women and girls may face in seeking justice. This includes establishing confidential and non-biased processes to receive and address complaints and make meaningful changes to services. Lastly, an effective remedy must also include gendertransformative, victim/survivor-centred and comprehensive reparations. VI. Recommendations 61. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights notes with appreciation the numerous initiatives stakeholders have undertaken around the world to implement a human rights-based approach to reducing preventable maternal mortality and morbidity. Given the guidance’s value to complement and inform emergency preparedness and response in a world facing increasingly complex and protracted humanitarian crises, with disproportionate and devastating impacts on maternal mortality and morbidity, the High Commissioner recommends that the Council remain seized of this important issue. In particular, the High Commissioner notes that strengthened efforts would be needed in order to enhance understanding on how a human rights-based approach to eliminating preventable maternal mortality and morbidity can be operationalized in humanitarian settings. 62. The following recommendations are made to States, humanitarian actors and other stakeholders, as relevant: (a) Disseminate and promote implementation of the technical guidance and related tools developed by OHCHR as widely as possible at the national and subnational levels, as well as the international and regional levels; (b) Bring laws and policies concerning sexual and reproductive health, including international assistance policies, in line with international human rights standards; (c) Include analysis on how the technical guidance has been implemented by the State when reporting to international and regional human rights mechanisms, including in the context of the 2030 Agenda and the World Humanitarian Summit; (d) Ensure a more holistic integrated approach that places the individual woman and girl at the centre of humanitarian preparedness and response, and recognizes the need to overcome siloed approaches and fragmented programming; (e) Prioritize full implementation of the Minimum Initial Service Package for Reproductive Health at the onset of humanitarian emergencies, with particular attention to women and girls in situations of vulnerability, and ensure a transition, as soon as possible, towards comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services; (f) Establish clear referral pathways that place the individual health user and her views, experiences and needs at the centre, are known by affected populations, promote an integrated approach, and include attention to a continuity of care and follow-up; (g) Ensure meaningful participation of women and girls in identifying and determining needs, priorities for funding and service, processes for access and delivery, and crisis response, in recognition of their agency; (h) Fund and promote reliable transparent, collaborative and disaggregated data collection on the availability, accessibility, appropriateness and quality of sexual and reproductive health services for all women and girls of affected populations, including host populations; (i) Consider the systematic integration of sexual and reproductive health and rights into the mandates of investigative bodies established by the Human Rights 16
