A/HRC/2/2 A/HRC/Sub.1/58/36 page 14 3. Notes that many States, including members of the Human Rights Council, have undertaken to ratify new instruments and welcomes this trend, which it hopes will be encouraged even more systematically; 4. Requests the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to disseminate the final report widely, including by officially transmitting it to the treaty bodies and the International Law Commission; 5. Recommends that the Human Rights Council should take into consideration the recommendations in the final report in the light of the tables contained in the addendum to the report (A/HRC/Sub.1/58/5/Add.1), particularly with regard to the need to ensure that the status of the international human rights instruments is periodically and systematically monitored under the Council’s universal periodic review procedure; 6. Recommends that technical assistance should be expanded, both within the United Nations and in the specialized agencies and regional organizations, so as to facilitate the universal ratification and effective implementation of the international human rights instruments, and that thought should be given to convening a seminar for this purpose with support from States and non-governmental organizations, as well as from the national human rights institutions that are directly concerned, in order to encourage dialogue with States on the ratification of universal treaties; 7. Recommends that the agenda should include a sub-item on the universal implementation of international human rights instruments and that collective discussions on the nature and scope of international human rights law should continue to be held within the Sub-Commission or the future expert advice mechanism; 8. Expresses the desire that the Sub-Commission or the future expert advice mechanism should be able to proceed with the questionnaire drawn up by the special rapporteur and should be in a position, with the help of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and with the cooperation of national human rights institutions, to produce a compilation of national legal precedents regarding the implementation of the international human rights instruments; 9. Recommends that a seminar should be organized on best practices, including the plans and programmes of action drawn up by States at the national level, and encourages further reflection on the legal and other obstacles to the universal implementation of the international human rights instruments. 21st meeting 24 August 2006 [Adopted without a vote.
