A/HRC/43/31 113. The principle of international cooperation enshrined in the Charter imposes on Member States the duty to give full consideration to the principles of mutual benefits and win-win in all activities related to cooperation in the field of human rights, including and particularly in technical assistance and capacity-building. 114. Consideration should be given to the establishment of an exchange mechanism in the Human Rights Council that could enable States to disseminate their best practices in participation in technical assistance projects, and to summarize and exchange experiences in a timely manner so as to achieve the goal of strengthening national implementation of human rights and protection capacities. 115. The Advisory Committee recommends that technical assistance and capacitybuilding on human rights cooperation be focused, with the consent of the State concerned, on the universal periodic review. 116. The Advisory Committee also recommends that the Human Rights Council keep technical assistance, capacity-building and mutually beneficial cooperation under consideration in its future work, and consider the opportunity of appointing a special procedure with a mandate to report and advise on technical assistance, capacitybuilding and mutually beneficial cooperation, and contribute to the development of international standards on those subjects. 17
