The mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the negative effects of unilateral coercive measures was created because human rights organizations referred to the negative consequences for the population through UN sanctions , e.g. the sanctions against Iraq , in order to avoid serious violations of human rights and serious violations of international humanitarian law , Ensure justice , provide remedial action, and restore confidence in the institutions of the state to promote the rule of law in accordance with international human rights .

The UN mandate

The UN Human Rights Council created this mandate on October 3, 2014 by means of a resolution in which the mandate was also defined. It is limited to three years and is extended regularly. The last extension of the mandate took place on October 9, 2017.

The expert is not an employee of the United Nations , but is given a mandate by them. To this end, the UN Human Rights Council issued a code of conduct. The independent status of the honorary mandate holder is crucial for the impartial performance of his or her duties. The term of office of a mandate is limited to a maximum of six years.

It prepares thematic studies and elaborates guidelines for improving human rights. The special rapporteur makes country visits at the invitation of states and can make recommendations in an advisory capacity. It examines notifications and makes suggestions to the states on how they can remedy any irregularities. He also carries out follow-up procedures in which he checks the implementation of the recommendations. To this end, he prepares annual reports for the attention of the UN Human Rights Council.
