A/HRC/8/13 page 19 62. States should cooperate openly and without reservation with the special procedures of the Human Rights Council in this area. In the sphere of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, I encourage all States to issue a standing invitation to all special procedures of the Human Rights Council, in particular to the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism. 63. Finally, States should strengthen the national capacities of their human rights institutions; provide training to their law enforcement authorities - including intelligence, customs and immigration services - on international human rights laws and standards, with proper remedies to ensure accountability. Failure by States to safeguard human rights in this area will lead directly toward increased instability and decreased legitimacy of Governments, to polarization in and between societies and to increasing radicalization. -----
