The UN mandate

The UN Human Rights Council created this position on October 13, 2011 by means of a resolution in which the mandate was also defined. This UN mandate is limited to three years and is regularly extended. The last extension of the mandate took place on October 5, 2017.

The expert is not an employee of the United Nations, but is given a mandate by the UN, and the UN Human Rights Council has issued a code of conduct for this purpose. The independent status of the electorate 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 Representative 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 .
