§ 81<br />
Mandate<br />
Expert Panels and <strong>Sanctions</strong> Monitoring Mechanisms (Panels/Mechanisms)<br />
are independent bodies established by the Security Council<br />
for a limited time in order to discharge their respective mandates.<br />
While their work is to be conducted with broad independence, they<br />
are intended to support the monitoring role of the <strong>Sanctions</strong> Committees<br />
by providing specialized expertise and information regarding<br />
compliance and non-compliance with sanctions regimes. Experts,<br />
nominated by the Security-General in their personal capacity,<br />
should endeavor to understand the scope and purpose of their<br />
role and responsibility within their respective mandate. Of particular<br />
importance is the need for each Panel/Mechanism to clearly<br />
understand the <strong>Sanctions</strong> Committees and UN Security Council<br />
objectives: particularly, whether the Panel/Mechanism mandate is<br />
to identify and investigate violations generally, monitor memberstate<br />
compliance, or both.<br />
§ 82<br />
Consultations<br />
a) With <strong>Sanctions</strong> Committees and Their Chairs<br />
Throughout the term of their mandate, Expert Panels and Monitoring<br />
Mechanisms should conduct on-going consultation with the<br />
relevant <strong>Sanctions</strong> Committees and their Chairpersons. Consultations<br />
with <strong>Sanctions</strong> Committees and their chairs will be particularly<br />
useful in clarifying the terms of reference at the outset and as<br />
a source of substantive political and strategic advice to the experts<br />
when formulating the public presentation of their findings. The<br />
Committee Chairpersons can provide considerable guidance for the<br />
Panels/Mechanisms, especially on procedural concerns, however, in<br />
substantive matters, the Committee’s consensus is necessary. Bilateral<br />
contacts between the Committee Chairpersons chairs and the<br />
other members could, therefore, facilitate consultation with Panels/<br />
Mechanisms. Also, the <strong>Sanctions</strong> Branch should organize a full orientation<br />
and briefing with all relevant UN departments at the outset<br />
of their work. It is recommended that the Panel/Mechanism<br />
arrange for meetings with other international organization and agencies<br />
on their own initiative.
