I have the honour to deliver this statement on behalf of a Like Minded Group of countries.

We have followed with interest the updates by special procedures mandate holders and the Coordinating Committee on the progress in the improvement of their working methods. We emphasize the need that all special procedures mandate holders discharge their duties within their mandates, and in an impartial and objective manner.
