- In case the General Assembly fails to establish an expert committee, the Human Rights Council should establish one on the basis of their mandate; and
- To transmit to the General Assembly any and all relevant material, in particular reports provided to it regarding the implementation of the Mission’s report and information on domestic investigations by the responsible parties.
