A/HRC/43/64 launched by the Secretary-General in June 2019. Following the launch of the Strategy, the Special Rapporteur continued to advocate with the Senior Adviser on Policy of the Secretary-General, the President of the General Assembly, United Nations entities and Member States on the need to secure the long-term sustainability of the Strategy and maintain its implementation as a top-level priority across all pillars of the United Nations system. 34. Special procedures have been assessing and giving concrete recommendations to States on how to integrate human rights in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals by addressing the issue in their thematic reports, issuing open letters, participating in meetings and raising matters related to the Goals during country visits. The Special Rapporteur on the right to education and the Special Rapporteur on the right to development were panellists at the high-level political forum on sustainable development held in 2019. 35. In relation to cooperation with regional organizations, special procedures have consolidated their joint activities with such bodies. The table in “Facts and figures with regard to the special procedures in 2019” (A/HRC/43/64/Add.1, chap. XX) contains the list of regional bodies and organizations with which special procedures have engaged. This engagement has taken various forms, including participation in respective meetings, issuance of joint statements and joint activities such as joint reports, seminars and visits. 36. The road map agreed by the special procedures of the Human Rights Council and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in December 2018 and the Addis Ababa road map agreed by the special procedures of the Human Rights Council and the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights continued to be implemented. 37. Special procedures decided to provide a short document in advance of the presentation of their report to the Human Rights Council highlighting the main issues raised and the elements on which they would welcome the views of States and other stakeholders. The objective of the initiative, which was subsequently welcomed by the President of the Council in his statement PRST/13/1, was to enhance interaction during the dialogues of the special procedures with the Council. J. Follow-up activities 38. Recommendations from the special procedures system, especially following country visits, continued to be used by Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) field presences and United Nations country teams. The Universal Human Rights Index contains all recommendations issued by human rights mechanisms in relation to countries and are also linked to the Sustainable Development Goals. 39. Mandate holders continued to prioritize follow-up and implementation of their assessments, conclusions and recommendations. They issued 188 follow-up communications to cases previously transmitted to States and non-State actors, observations on communications reports and follow-up press releases. They also undertook follow-up visits, sent questionnaires and presented reports to follow up on the implementation of recommendations made after country visits, and convened expert meetings and consultations. A non-exhaustive list of follow-up activities is contained in “Facts and figures with regard to the special procedures in 2019” (A/HRC/43/64/Add.1, chap. XIII). 40. The Coordination Committee of Special Procedures stressed the importance of follow-up with various high-level representatives of the United Nations system, in particular in the context of the new system of resident coordinators and the role they can play in ensuring that United Nations country teams support the implementation of recommendations by special procedures. Engagement with the Development Coordination Office continued to ensure that concerted efforts were made to implement recommendations. K. Cooperation with special procedures 41.
