A/HRC/28/31 • Reinforcing partnerships between regional mechanisms and national human rights institutions, independent monitoring mechanisms, organizations of persons with disabilities and State parties in order to overcome gaps in the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; • Strengthening general interaction, dialogue and sharing of best practices between international human rights mechanisms and regional mechanisms so as to achieve a common approach on disability issues; • Developing and sharing social development indicators concerning the human rights of persons with disabilities and increasing the production of relevant statistics and disaggregated data; • Standardizing and simplifying the procedures to be followed by member States with regard to reporting to regional and international human rights mechanisms; • Issuing reminders to State parties about their commitments at the treaty body reporting stage. IV. Conclusions 68. The workshop on enhancing cooperation between United Nations and regional human rights mechanisms generated valuable proposals and recommendations, in particular with regard to mainstreaming economic, social and cultural rights, and more specifically those of persons with disabilities and of women. 69. Support to United Nations and regional organizations from intergovernmental bodies was identified as crucial for the effective enhancement of cooperation. Participants encouraged intergovernmental organizations and States to allocate sufficient financial and human resources to facilitate effective cooperation. 70. Participants recognized the critical role played by OHCHR in advancing cooperation between international and regional human rights mechanisms. However, it was noted that the capacity of OHCHR to operate as a facilitator and coordinator of cooperation, including through the focal points network, was affected by financial constraints. 71. Cooperation between human rights mechanisms was identified as a way to save resources for the United Nations and regional human rights mechanisms. The need to further develop joint activities and exchange of information was underlined. V. Recommendations 72. The universality and indivisibility of all human rights should be the common factor guiding the promotion and protection of human rights by international and regional human rights mechanisms. 73. The biennial workshops and annual meetings of the focal points on cooperation should be continued. It was proposed that the next meeting of the focal points on cooperation be held in 2015, and the next workshop be held in 2016. 74. Cooperation should be strengthened between the United Nations human rights system and regional human rights mechanisms, under the auspices of OHCHR. Staff should be allocated to coordinating interaction between United Nations and regional human rights mechanisms and facilitating cooperation among focal points. 14
