Independent Expert appointed by the Secretary-General on the situation of human rights in Somalia Mr. Shamsui Bari (Bangladesh)* Special Representative of the Secretary-General on the situation of human rights defenders Ms. Margaret Sekaggya (Uganda)*

* The mandate holders on these positions were appointed in the past by the SecretaryGeneral in conformity with relevant resolutions of the Commission on Human Rights. At the same time, the IB text stipulates that the review, rationalization and improvement (RRI) of each mandate would take place in the context of the negotiation of the relevant resolutions. It is therefore understood that a decision on the mandate holders will be made depending on the final result of the RRI process of each of these mandates.
