A/HRC/24/55 B. Enhancing coordination with the special procedures system 34. Mandate holders welcomed and endorsed draft guidelines on a gender sensitive and family-friendly environment for the work of special procedure mandate holders, prepared by two mandate holders in close consultations with the Coordination Committee. Noting the challenges faced by mandate holders with infants or young children, the draft guidelines suggested that United Nations staff rules on breastfeeding be applied to mandate holders; that adequate access to United Nations premises be provided to mandate holders’ infants and their caregivers; and that appropriate designated areas for breastfeeding be made available on United Nations premises. The draft guidelines urged consideration of additional budgetary provisions to cover the costs of caregivers when a mandate holder travelled with an infant and permission for mandate holders to travel with young children older than one, subject to security and other conditions. It was proposed that requests for such assistance be reviewed by the Coordinating Committee, which would make recommendations to the Secretariat. The meeting called on the Secretariat to support their implementation. 35. Mandate holders continued to discuss transparency of financial support provided to them from external sources to safeguard their independence, impartiality and integrity. They agreed to identify general trends and patterns of external support, which would provide a basis for responding to concerns related to external funding. 36. Other working method issues discussed were coordination of joint statements and of country visits and a harmonized approach to frequently raised questions on challenges confronting mandate holders and the possibility of the development of tools to ensure consistency among mandate holders in this context. The Secretariat’s response to personal attacks against mandate holders was also discussed. VII. The twentieth anniversary of the adoption of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action 37.
