Summaries of all documentation received from institutions are prepared by the secretariat and shared with the relevant institutions prior to review. National human rights institutions are given one week to point out any factual errors in the summaries. The summaries and comments are subsequently brought to the attention of the members of the Subcommittee. 11. The following may attend meetings of the Subcommittee as observers: representatives of the secretariat of the Network of African national human rights institutions; the secretariat of the Asia Pacific Forum of national human rights institutions; the secretariat of the European Network of national human rights institutions; the Network of the Americas; and the representative of the International Coordinating Committee. 12.

The General Assembly, in its resolution 67/163, encouraged the Ombudsman, mediator and other national human rights institutions to request, in cooperation with OHCHR, their accreditation by the International Coordinating Committee in order to enable them to interact effectively with the relevant human rights bodies of the United Nations system. 14. By 23 May 2014, the number of accredited national human rights institutions had reached 106. Of these, 71 had “A” status, 25 “B” status and 10 “C” status (see annex). 15. During the three sessions under review, the Subcommittee on Accreditation issued recommendations emphasizing the need for a clear, transparent and participatory selection process of members of national human rights institutions, as required by the Paris Principles and by the Subcommittee in its general observations on the International Coordinating Committee. It also stressed the importance of the provision of adequate core funding by the State to ensure the independence and financial autonomy of such institutions. In addition, the Subcommittee recognized the importance of members of national institutions being granted immunity against legal liability for actions taken in their official capacity. It furthermore stressed the need for greater cooperation by and engagement of national human rights institutions with regional and international human rights systems. 5
