A/HRC/30/29 efforts and collectively condemn such acts and take all measures necessary to ensure that all individuals and groups, without exception, may cooperate freely and safely with the United Nations, its mechanisms and representatives in the field of human rights. 48. I welcome the steps taken by the different parts of the United Nations, in particular the President of the Human Rights Council, the special procedures and the human rights treaty bodies, in developing ways of addressing the issue of reprisals in a more coherent and systematic manner, and encourage them to continue to coordinate their efforts in resolving this system-wide issue. I also welcome the efforts made by a number of States to provide protection to those individuals and groups engaging with the United Nations in the field of human rights, including during the sessions of the Human Rights Council in Geneva. Nonetheless, more concerted action is still urgently needed to address this issue at all levels. I urge all concerned to work cooperatively together to ensure that the current deadlock facing Council resolution 24/24 is overcome without further delay. In the meantime, I emphasize that the United Nations will continue to work for a solid and coordinated response to reprisals throughout the United Nations system as a whole. 49. In 2014 I also called upon States to take action at the national level and to refrain from, to take all appropriate measures to prevent the occurrence of, to ensure accountability for and to consider the establishment of a national focal point to address all acts of intimidation or reprisal against individuals and groups who seek to cooperate, are cooperating or have cooperated with the United Nations, its representatives and mechanisms in the field of human rights. I urge all States to follow up and provide information, as appropriate, to the Human Rights Council on all measures taken, including on cases mentioned in the present report. In this context, I also recommend that the Council devote sufficient time to the discussion of the present report, and welcome the initial statements made by a number of States during the twenty-seventh session. 50. I encourage all stakeholders, including international and regional organizations, Member States, national human rights institutions, civil society and academic institutions, to continue to contribute to the future consideration of this issue by the Human Rights Council and the United Nations system as a whole. 16
