A/71/304 and is underresourced. In addition, reporting to the high -level political forum is voluntary. 67. Another key mechanism is the Independent Accountability Panel, appointed earlier in 2016, which will monitor progress towards the Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health. The Special Rapporteur welcomes the appointment of the Panel and will follow its work with interest. 68. International human rights mechanisms, including the universal periodic review and independent mechanisms such as the treaty bodies and the special procedures of the Human Rights Council, should consider the role that the Sustainable Development Goals can play in supporting the realization of the ri ght to health and address obstacles to the enjoyment of the right to health that arise in the context of the Goals. The reviews undertaken by those bodies should be considered by the high-level political forum and the Independent Accountability Panel, and vice versa. 69. At the national level, and increasingly at the regional and global levels, judicial and quasi-judicial reviews are playing a role in supporting accountability for the right to health, including on issues at the heart of the Sustainable Development Goals, such as HIV/AIDS and maternal mortality. Litigation can play a special and potentially transformative role where the right to health has been violated. Remedies and redress 70. Remedies and redress are an essential dimension of human r ights accountability but are completely neglected in the 2030 Agenda. Remedies can be understood as “measures to put things right, as far as possible, if they have not gone as promised or planned”. 35 Where States are failing to meet their human rights obligations in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals, duty bearers are under an obligation to act. 71. Satisfaction and guarantees of non-repetition are critical to ensuring non-repetition and include, at the national and subnational levels, legislation, judicial remedies and redress, monitoring and enforcement mechanisms, improvements in policy formulation, budgets and planning, and right -to-health training of relevant duty bearers. Review processes should make recommendations for such remedies, and duty bearers should act on them. At the same time, remedies should be available to individuals whose right to health has been violated. Some remedies, such as restitution, rehabilitation and compensation, focus on redressing harm to individual or group rights holders. Judicial remedies are extremely important for redressing violations, and States and other actors should implement relevant recommendations. __________________ 35 16-13597 The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health, “A review of global accountability mechanisms”, in Maternal Mortality, Human Rights and Accountability, Paul Hunt and Tony Gray, eds.
