A/HRC/24/55
54.
The International Coordination Committee of National Human Rights Institutions
encouraged NHRIs to send information to special procedures mechanisms, inform them
when they were under threat and increase participation of mandate holders in conferences
and events convened by national institutions or the Coordination Committee. The
International Coordination Committee intended to develop a compilation of good practices
of collaboration with special procedures. NHRIs regularly encouraged States to issue
standing invitations to special procedures. It was suggested that the Manual of Operations
of the Special Procedures be improved by adding guidance on working with NHRIs, and
that future induction sessions for new mandate holders include information on interaction
with such institutions. NHRIs and special procedures mechanisms could have greater
impact through mutual reinforcement particularly if there was timely coordination.
55.
Mandate holders suggested that NHRIs could disseminate their recommendations on
special procedures mechanisms, including through their annual reports. Mandate holders
also noted that special procedures could be consulted in the process of accreditation of
national institutions. It was recalled that NHRIs had an important role in monitoring human
rights violations.
