Complaints may also be addressed to the Special Procedures (Offices of the Special Rapporteurs), who will then communicate to Governments and others, such as intergovernmental organizations, businesses, military or security companies. In these letters, the experts “report on allegations of human rights violations they have received, regarding: • past human rights violations - which can be the object of a letter of allegation; • ongoing or potential human rights violations - which can be the object of an urgent appeal; • concerns relating to bills, legislation, and policies; • practices that do not comply with international human rights law and standards. The expert(s) will in the letter present the allegations and request clarifications on them. Where necessary, the experts request that the concerned authorities take action to prevent or stop the violation, investigate it, bring to justice those responsible, and make sure that remedies are available to the victim(s) or their families. The experts also recall the applicable human rights provisions in these letters.” https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/HRBodies/ComplaintProcedure/ ComplaintProcedurebooklet_E.pdf https://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HRC/ComplaintProcedure/Pages/ HRCComplaintProcedureIndex.aspx There are other procedures applicable to the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances; please consult their methods of work here: https://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/SP/Pages/Communications.aspx Intro video to UN HR complaints mechanisms https://slideplayer.com/slide/5708054/ 46
