A/HRC/45/42 branch in North Darfur. Together with the National Human Rights Council of Morocco, UNDP organized a study tour for the Sudanese Commission to Morocco. V. Cooperation between United Nations human rights mechanisms and national human rights institutions A. Human Rights Council 87. In coordination with the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions, OHCHR continued to support the engagement of national human rights institutions with the Human Rights Council and its mechanisms. 88. During the forty-second and forty-third sessions of the Human Rights Council, and in accordance with the rules of procedure of the Council, which enable the participation of national human rights institutions compliant with the Paris Principles, 34 national human rights institutions and the Global Alliance delivered 51 statements (9 in writing, 19 in person and 23 by video), submitted documentation, participated in general debates, organized parallel events and/or interacted with special procedure mandate holders (see annex I). At the forty-fourth session of the Human Rights Council, eight institutions, as well as the Global Alliance and the Asia-Pacific Forum for National Human Rights Institutions, delivered 14 statements (3 in writing, 1 in person and 10 by video) (see annex I). 1. Universal periodic review 89. In accordance with Human Rights Council resolution 16/21 and General Assembly resolution 65/281, the universal periodic review stakeholders’ report contains, where appropriate, a separate section for contributions by the national human rights institution of the State under review that is accredited in full compliance with the Paris Principles. A status institutions are also entitled to intervene immediately after the State under review during the adoption of the outcome of the review by the Council plenary. 90. In November 2019, during the thirty-fourth session of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review, five A status national human rights institutions submitted written contributions. During the thirty-fifth session of the Working Group, in January 2020, three A status national human rights institutions submitted input (see annex II). 91. Given the role that national human rights institutions can play in the follow-up on the implementation of recommendations stemming from the universal periodic review, OHCHR continued to support and encourage their participation in this process. 2. Special procedures 92. In accordance with Human Rights Council resolution 16/21 and General Assembly resolution 65/281, A status national human rights institutions are entitled to intervene immediately after the State concerned during the interactive dialogue between the Human Rights Council and the special procedure mandate holders, following the presentation of a country mission report by the latter. In addition, A status institutions may also nominate candidates as special procedure mandate holders. 93. When special procedure mandate holders conduct missions, national human rights institutions usually share independent analysis and information on issues and on the situation of the persons and groups concerned, facilitate contacts and convene meetings with civil society. In some cases, they host the press conference of the mandate holder(s) at the end of the visit. When preparing reports, special procedure mandate holders usually request input from national human rights institutions, which usually generates a very high response rate. 13
