A/HRC/15/56 37. Concrete proposals for thematic meetings included racism and intolerance; economic, social and cultural rights; and trafficking. The practice of holding thematic forums, e.g. the Forum on Minority Issues established by the Human Rights Council (resolution 6/15), was praised. 38. Participants also suggested that regular bilateral or multilateral meetings be held in order to discuss jurisprudence, publications, reports, guidelines, technical cooperation, follow-up etc. The practice of the Fundamental Rights Agency of the EU in conducting interagency annual meetings with the participation of the United Nations, OSCE and the Council of Europe to identify synergies and possible joint activities and thematic coordination was commended. The meetings regularly held between the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child and the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child were proposed as a practice which should be expanded to other human rights mechanisms with similar mandates. 39. In addition, it was proposed that regular meetings be held between special rapporteurs of both international and regional human rights mechanisms and members of the United Nations human rights treaty bodies and special procedures mandate holders. Representatives from the Inter-American, African and European systems could participate in the annual meeting of treaty body chairs. Similarly, rapporteurs from regional human rights mechanisms could join the annual meeting of special procedures mandate holders of the Human Rights Council. 40. Another possibility that should be envisaged is the organization of judicial colloquiums with the participation of international and regional human rights mechanisms, judges at national courts, NHRIs and NGOs, with a view to deepening judges’ understanding of human rights mechanisms and encouraging them to incorporate international human rights standards in their decisions. 41. Finally, it was proposed that members of regional human rights mechanisms be invited to participate in interactive dialogues of the Human Rights Council and submit documentation. 3. Inter-secretariat cooperation mechanisms 42. Working level contacts also known as desk-to-desk cooperation between OHCHR and the Council of Europe have facilitated finding areas of cooperation between the international and European human rights systems, in particular on topics such as migration, arbitrary detention and the rights of the child. Participants recommended that this practice also be implemented in other regions. In addition, it was proposed that the possibility of staff exchanges between international and regional human rights mechanisms be explored. 43. Furthermore, it was recognized that memorandums of intent or of understanding between international and regional human rights can facilitate and formalize cooperation. 44. Sharing information can also be facilitated through field presences of both international and regional human rights mechanisms. For instance, OSCE field presences can exchange information with the United Nations treaty bodies and special procedures. Cooperation between OHCHR field presences, the United Nations country teams (UNCT) and regional human rights mechanisms can be enhanced. 10
