A/HRC/17/39 A new special procedure 68. At the expert workshop on the right of peoples to peace, convened by OHCHR in Geneva on 15 and 16 December 2009, an expert suggested creating the mandate of Special Rapporteurs or independent expert on the right to peace.78 A new working group 69. The Spanish Society for the Advancement of Human Rights Law suggested setting up a working group as a monitoring mechanism. The Santiago Declaration mentions in article 15 a working group on the human right to peace, which would be composed of 10 members, with the functions of promoting the observance and implementation of the Declaration. In its mandate, the working group would have the competences (a) to promote worldwide observance and awareness of the human right to peace; (b) to gather, assemble and respond effectively to any relevant information from States, international organizations and their organs, civil society organizations, national human rights institutions, concerned individuals and any other reliable source; (c) to carry out in loco investigations concerning violations of the human right to peace and to report to the pertinent bodies; (d) to address recommendations, appeals and urgent actions to the States Members of the United Nations, requesting them to take appropriate measures for the effective realization of the human right to peace, giving due consideration to those recommendations and appeals; (e) to draw up, on its own initiative or at the request of the General Assembly, the Security Council or the Human Rights Council, the reports it deems necessary in the event of an imminent threat to or serious violation of the human right to peace; (f) to present an annual report of its activities to the General Assembly, the Security Council and the Human Rights Council; (g) to contribute to the elaboration of definitions and norms concerning the crime of aggression and the limits of legitimate self-defence; and (h) to submit to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court or other competent international criminal tribunals reliable information about any situation in which it would appear that crimes falling within the jurisdiction of the Court or of another international criminal tribunal have been committed. A new open-ended working group 70. At the above-mentioned expert workshop, one expert suggested an open-ended working group of Member States, open to the participation of civil society organizations.79 71. The Advisory Committee does not recommend a specific mechanism at this time, electing rather to await comments and proposals arising from the discussion. VIII. Conclusion 72.
