A/HRC/36/44 on Civil and Political Rights). It was suggested that sanctions should also be tested in the context of the Universal Periodic Review of the Human Rights Council. Another participant examined the relevance of the work of the International Law Association on Reparation for Victims of Armed Conflict, stressing that all victims of human rights violations are entitled to access to mechanism for reparations. Several participants stressed the importance of the right of access to a court, as called for by Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights and other instruments. 4. The second session focused on the United Nations Register of unilateral sanctions likely to have a human rights impact. The possible institutional features and practical modalities of functioning of such mechanism were extensively discussed, and participants generally agreed that such Register could possibly under certain conditions benefit from wide acceptance from the international community. The relevance of the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms as a possible precedent was examined, as well as possible guidance to be drawn from the practical operation of the Sanctions Committee and the Ombudsperson of the Security Council ISIL/Al Qaeda sanctions regime, and from the experience of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in relation to sanctions. Participants generally shared the view that unilateral sanctions were primarily to be reported (including information about the alleged impact on human rights of the measures) by targeted States, although reporting by targeting State was also possible. The depository of the Register would then notify the targeting state of the allegation by the targeted state of the alleged impact on human rights of the measures, and invite the targeting state to respond to the allegation and to include in the response, information on whether it has conducted an assessment of the possible inadvertent (or unintended) impact on human rights of the measures, and if so provide the result of such assessment, and whether it has taken any steps to mitigate such impact. It was also suggested that a focal point should be created by States for civil society organizations to be able to interact with their respective Government as regards possible notification of unilateral sanctions for inclusion in the Register. Also, the inclusion of a potential dispute settlement mechanism associated with the Registry was discussed, as well as the possibility that such dispute settlement mechanism be entitled to rule on reparation claims for adverse impact of sanctions on human rights. 16
