A/HRC/43/64 47. The fact that a number of mandate holders had again been subjected to public and ad hominem attacks for carrying out their work is of serious concern. Inciting hatred and violence against a mandate holder is unacceptable. 48. The Human Rights Council should provide a space to discuss issues related to cooperation, including challenges, good stories and examples of cooperation. In this context, special procedures have started documenting good stories and examples illustrating the impact of their work to illustrate the various ways in which they contribute to the promotion and protection of human rights at all levels. The non-exhaustive compilation of examples collected so far shows that this impact can take many forms. It could, for example, result in the revision of a law, the adoption of a new policy decision, a change in the attitude of a country towards a specific issue, a positive outcome for specific individuals, the documentation and the end of a specific human rights violation, a successful contribution to United Nations processes, such as those involving migration and climate change, the development of new standards or, more generally, raising awareness about a human rights issue and facilitating dialogue and advocacy on these issues. These good stories are available on a dedicated web page6 that will be updated regularly. III. Coordination Committee of Special Procedures 49. In 2019, the Coordination Committee of Special Procedures continued to facilitate coordination among mandate holders and interaction with a range of stakeholders. It pursued efforts to respond to requests from mandate holders and other stakeholders and to act as the main body representing special procedures, including by strengthening the visibility of the special procedures system. The Committee had face-to-face meetings three times a year. 50. The Coordination Committee held consultations with a wide range of stakeholders, including the Secretary-General, the Senior Adviser on Policy, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, various senior representatives of the Department of Peace Operations, the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, including the Peacebuilding Support Office, the Department for General Assembly and Conference Management, the United Nations Development Programme, resident coordinators, members of the Security Council, members of the Peacebuilding Commission, States Members of the United Nations and civil society. 51. Meetings took place with the President of the General Assembly, the President of the Human Rights Council and the Chair of the Third Committee to raise awareness about issues related to special procedures and their contributions to intergovernmental processes. In addition, the Coordination Committee engaged with the Consultative Group regarding the selection procedure for mandate holders. 52. The Coordination Committee participated in various meetings related to the Human Rights Council and the place of human rights within the United Nations. In addition, the Committee and its Chair held a series of meetings with delegations and groups of delegations to maintain dialogue and provide a space where issues related to special procedures could be discussed. Informal conversations with States, civil society organizations and other stakeholders took place on 24 May and 16 December 2019. In cooperation with States, civil society organizations and national human rights institutions, the Committee also held an event on “Continuous improvement of the system and impact of the work of special procedures – sharing of examples” on 2 September. The constant efforts made to address the concerns raised by stakeholders led to adjustments and improvements to the system. 53. In May and December 2019, the Coordination Committee met in Geneva to discuss issues relating to the special procedures system as a whole. The Committee focused on the functioning of the special procedures system and related issues, particularly conflicts of interest, the independence of the special procedures, communications, acts of intimidation and reprisal, ad hominem attacks against mandate holders, cooperation with Member States and the status and visibility of the special procedures system within the United Nations.
