A/HRC/46/36
implementation of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) and reviews by the
Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women and United Nations
counter-terrorism entities which profess to mainstream gender into their work;
(f)
Seriously review and consider the office and capacities of the
Ombudsperson, including the terms of contract, its capacity and the operating
procedures of the office, which are significantly deficient from a human rights and rule
of law standpoint and necessitate reform, and address the rights of individuals,
including women and girls, which remain inadequately protected across listing regimes;
the obligation to fix that deficit lies with Security Council members;
(g)
Repatriate, rehabilitate and prosecute (as warranted) the women and
children who are in the camps in the Syrian Arab Republic and in detention in Iraq,
which remains an insistent human rights necessity; and States must fulfil their
international human rights obligations, particularly their obligations under the
Convention on the Rights of the Child, without delay.
B.
United Nations bodies
40.
The Special Rapporteur recommends that:
(a)
Counter-terrorism entities, such as the Office of Counter-Terrorism and
the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, adopt a clear and precise
definition of gender mainstreaming in their work and that such a definition should
concur with the definition used by the United Nations treaty bodies and UN-Women
and ensure that gender mainstreaming is consistent with States’ obligations, including
human rights;
(b)
Technical support and capacity-building work by United Nations entities
in the counter-terrorism arena must fully observe due diligence in respect of the
negative effects of terrorism on the rights of women and girls; and United Nations
entities must not contribute to commodification, stereotyping and/or the infliction of
direct harms on women and girls by counter-terrorism and extremism regulation;
(c)
United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact entities
must ensure that gender mainstreaming is meaningfully and practically integrated into
their work, specifically that the human rights and equality of women and girls are
advanced; and the misuse of counter-terrorism measures against women human rights
defenders and women-led civil society organizations must be adequately addressed by
United Nations entities in the counter-terrorism context.
C.
Family courts and care professionals
41.
The Special Rapporteur recommends that:
(a)
Cases involving the removal, wardship or State care of children on the
basis of extremism should be published, and the principle of open justice and
transparency, consistent with the practice of the State in other contentious family law
regulations, should apply;
(b)
The use of intelligence information or forms of proceedings in family
regulation, e.g., closed material proceedings, but not shared with legal representatives
of family members in the process of severing the most fundamental of human
relationships – the legal relationship between a child and a parent – is inconsistent with
the protection of the family, the rights of the child and due process norms under
international law and should be ended.
