A/HRC/31/66 95. In relation to remedy, the State shall provide reparation to victims for acts or omissions which can be attributed to the State and constitute gross violations of international human rights law or serious violations of international humanitarian law. 69 Reparation should be proportional to the gravity of the violation and the harm suffered, and should include elements of restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction and guarantees of non-repetition, as well as access to relevant information concerning violations and reparation mechanisms.70 96. Practical recommendations: (a) States should ensure in law and practice that law enforcement officials do not have immunity from criminal or civil liability for cases of misconduct; (b) States should establish and fund additional levels of non-judicial oversight, including an effective internal investigations process and a statutory independent oversight body. Where there is reason to believe a crime has been committed, the matter should be immediately referred to the prosecuting authority for proper and full investigation; (c) A law enforcement officer who is under investigation, external or internal, should not be redeployed into the field until the investigation is complete and the officer is cleared of wrongdoing; (d) States should grant a broad mandate to an independent oversight body that possesses all competence and powers for effective protection of rights in the context of assemblies. The mandate should allow the body to investigate complaints from the public, to accept referrals from police and to initiate investigations itself where it is in the public interest to do so. The body should investigate all cases of use of force by law enforcement. The oversight body should have full investigative powers, and complaints should be dealt with in an objective, fair and prompt fashion, according to clear criteria; (e) States should encourage and facilitate law enforcement agencies to conduct ongoing non-adversarial peer review of policing operations, if possible by another law enforcement agency. Such reviews should be conducted in addition to and do not exclude the State’s obligation to establish independent judicial review mechanisms for the investigation and sanctioning of human rights violations; (f) States should consider the potential of information and communication technologies, such as body-worn cameras, in contributing towards accountability for violations by law enforcement personnel in the context of assemblies. III. Conclusion 97. Assemblies can play a vital role in the protection and fulfilment of human rights and the democratic life of society. They should not be viewed as a threat, but rather as a means of dialogue in which the State should engage. 71 Nonetheless, ensuring the protection of the full range of rights arising in the context of assemblies can present challenges. 98. These practical recommendations provide guidance on how States might fulfil their obligations to protect and promote human rights in the context of assemblies. 69 70 71 22 Principle 15 of the Basic Principles and Guidelines.
