A/HRC/10/54 page 16 65. The Conference unanimously adopted the Nairobi Declaration (see annex III), which provides institutions with guidelines in performing their role in the administration of justice. The Declaration stipulates, inter alia, that institutions will strive to undertake initiatives towards the strengthening of the administration of justice within their mandate, and encourage cooperation in this area at the regional and international level, including through OHCHR and the wider United Nations system; engage in strategic partnerships with civil society organizations to implement their activities in the administration of justice; and develop and implement a strategy to strengthen the administration of justice. The Declaration also requests that OHCHR prepare a report, which would include best practices presented during the Conference. 2. Subcommittee on Accreditation 66. OHCHR provided secretarial support to the meetings of the Subcommittee on Accreditation, held in April and November 2008 (for a list of national human rights institutions with accreditation status as at December 2008, see A/HRC/10/55, annex I). A report of the Secretary-General (A/HRC/10/55) provides more information on the accreditation process and recent improvements. III. COOPERATION BETWEEN UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS MECHANISMS AND NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS A. Human Rights Council 67. OHCHR has been supporting an enhanced role for national human rights institutions with regard to the Human Rights Council, in line with Commission on Human Rights resolution 2005/74 and past practice of the Commission. Council resolution 5/1 opens many opportunities for institutions and their regional coordinating mechanisms to participate in Council sessions and to engage with its various mechanisms. Institutions accredited by the International Coordinating Committee for compliance with the Paris Principles, the Committee itself and regional coordinating bodies of institutions may participate and address the Council in an independent capacity and on all agenda items. They may also submit written statements, issue documentation (with a United Nations document symbol) and have separate seating arrangements. 68. With regard to Council mechanisms, institutions have been given a clear and significant role by resolution 5/1, for example with regard to the universal periodic review, where one of the three types of documents for review will consist of information provided by stakeholders, including national human rights institutions. Institutions may play a crucial role in all phases of the universal periodic review, from the submission of documentation to attendance of the review and follow-up to recommendations. They can also play an important role in the Advisory Committee as well as, more specifically, the complaint procedure. 69. A workshop for national human rights institutions and non-governmental organizations on the universal periodic review was held on 19 and 20 November, in Nairobi, to share good practices on reporting, participating in the review and follow-up under the review. The meeting was organized by Rights and Democracy, OHCHR, the Francophonie and the Commonwealth Secretariat. Various human rights institutions that had participated in the review process shared their experience.
