The Special Rapporteur's vision of the mandate 2017, para. 42
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In his sixth and final thematic report to the Human Rights Council (A/HRC/35/28), the previous mandate holder addressed the role and achievements of civil society. In the report, he mapped and quantified the myriad ways in which civil society had improved societies globally in the past decade, by protecting civil and political rights, advancing development objectives, moving societies towards freedom and equality, achieving and upholding peace, regulating corporate behaviour, protecting the environment, delivering essential services and advocating economic, social and cultural rights. The current mandate holder, who presented the report to the Council on 6 June 2017 (see para. 4 above), considers it to be the ideal springboard for the work ahead. She notes with satisfaction that the report received wide support from, and was generally endorsed by, delegations during the interactive dialogue at the thirty-fifth session of the Council.
