6 PARTICIPATION IN INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS FORUMS 63 • Include a separate section with NHRI contributions in the stakeholders report during the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process; • Intervene immediately after the state under review, during the adoption of the outcome of the UPR review by the plenary; • Nominate candidates as special procedures mandate holders; and • Intervene immediately after the country concerned during the interactive dialogue, following the presentation of a country mission report by a special procedure mandate holder.39 In relation to the promotion of women’s rights and gender equality, NHRIs could use this access by, for example, highlighting women’s rights and equality issues in the UPR stakeholders report; including gender issues in its comments following state reports; nominating qualified women as candidates for special procedure mandates; and providing additional information on women’s rights and gender equality during the interactive dialogue. It is hoped that the HRC model for active engagement with NHRIs will encourage increased recognition in other international forums. In 2012, the Human Rights Council recommended to the General Assembly that it explores the feasibility of enabling A-status NHRIs to participate at its meetings, based on practices in the Human Rights Council. 40 Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council NHRIs are likely to have access to specific knowledge of the particular issues facing women in their countries, including in relation to the legal framework, cultural practices and obstacles to change. Depending on their mandates, expertise and relationships with women’s rights organizations, they may also receive information about alleged individual violations and the verification of these. They, therefore, have the potential to play an important role in submitting information to all special procedures mandate holders. 39 Review of the Human Rights Council, A/RES/65/281, adopted at the sixty-fifth session of the General Assembly on 20 July 2011.See in particular paras. 9, 13, 22(a) and 28. 40 National institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights, A/HRC/20/L.15, 29 June 2012, para. 16.
