A/HRC/31/82 (b) The international community is now in a position to assume that unilateral coercive measures are counterproductive with respect to all dimensions of human rights, affecting mainly developing countries. There is broad agreement that such measures are illegitimate, illegal and immoral, and do not reflect the purposes of promoting and protecting human rights as reflected in the Charter of the United Nations; (c) The practice of imposing sanctions on developing countries raises the issue of the right of access to medicines and the right to food. The ideology behind sanctions should, like the sanctions industry itself, which includes government officials, lawyers and other parties concerned, be defeated mercilessly. The ideology should be replaced by a more humane approach that will lead to the delegitimization of unilateral coercive measures; (d) There is the need for more discussion on the different aspects of unilateral coercive measures, including accountability and remedy for victims that had endured them for years. All special procedures should address the issue from the perspective of their specific mandate. More collective efforts are needed at the international level to achieve further consensus based on respect for, and the protection and fulfilment of, all human rights, including the right to development; (e) The Secretary-General should be urged to appoint a panel of experts to address these issues, aimed at building-consensus and proposing solutions. 11
