A/HRC/10/54 page 26 15. Discussed the UPR mechanism and stressed their commitment to actively participate in the process in cooperation with both Government and civil society. Forum Councillors expressed their appreciation to Rights and Democracy for facilitating dialogue on this issue and to the OHCHR and Commonwealth secretariat for their offers to provide practical support. Forum Councillors requested that the APF cooperate in these efforts to ensure APF members can engage effectively in the UPR mechanism. In doing so they noted the experiences of the NHRIs from India, Indonesia, the Philippines and the Republic of Korea who have already participated in the first and second sessions of the UPR mechanism and agreed to develop documentation highlighting ‘best practices’ for dissemination to all APF member institutions. Forum Councillors also welcomed the proposal of the Human Rights Commission of the Republic of Korea to develop guidelines for the monitoring of the implementation of UPR recommendations. 16.
