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. 14
