Council: Under the terms of paragraphs 2, 2 (g), and 5 of resolution 6/28, the Human Rights (a) Decided to extend the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism for a period of three years; (b) Requested the Special Rapporteur to report regularly to the Council and to the General Assembly; (c) Requested the Secretary-General and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to provide all the necessary human, technical and financial assistance to the Special Rapporteur for the effective fulfilment of his/her mandate. 2.
