A/HRC/34/23 124. The implementation of the recommendations of the report of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights entitled “Practical recommendations for the creation and maintenance of a safe and enabling environment for civil society, based on good practices and lessons learned” (A/HRC/32/20) is critical. In particular, the High Commissioner recommended: allowing civil society to participate without discrimination; expanding the transparency of human rights mechanisms by, for instance, webcasting public meetings; setting up a robust legal framework compliant with international standards that safeguards public freedoms and effective access to justice; creating a political environment conducive to the work of civil society; and providing access to information and avenues for civil society in decision-making processes. 125. Good practices, such as desk-to-desk cooperation and the Addis Ababa road map on cooperation, should be replicated in other regions. 18
