Talk:United Nations special rapporteur

message: I'm not great in editing, but just wanted to have something changed. The possition is not just called 'Health', it is 'Special Rapporteur on the right to physical and mental health'. And since August 2020 this role is taken by Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng. More info can be found on the website: https://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Health/Pages/SRRightHealthIndex.aspx
Good luck for the person implementing this.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.255.56.194 (talk) 16:37, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

message: Wouldn't it make more sense to simply summarise this here, with the full text moved to Wikisource and linked to? As things stand it's a huge mass of dense text that makes the article hard to read. Loganberry (Talk) 02:01, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This article should be renamed "United Nations Special Investigator". As named "United Nations Special Rapporteur" it has been in effect placed in obscurity because it will be difficult to find in the Wiki. database. Needless to say Major world powers might one day be brought before the World court causing them embarrassment. This fact should not bias the presentation of the material.--Warrior777 14:20, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the title, and also the structure and content of the article (to some extent), should be changed. "Special Rapporteur" is only one of the three Special Procedure mechanisms of the Human Rights Council. The Special Procedures consist of three mechanisms: Working Groups (5 members of which one is Chairperson), Independent Experts (one per thematic or country mandate) and Special Rapporteur (also 1 per theme or country). As this article is already about the Special Procedures in general (its contents apply to all three mechanisms; its lead section expressly identifies "special rapporteur" as a class of special procedure, and it contains mandates from all three kinds of mechanisms). It would make much more sense to rename the page "Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council", explain the fact that there are three kinds or mechanisms for special procedures and complete the mandates list. I would also like to transfer the specific contents relating to Special Procedures and eliminate the list of mandates from the United Nations Human Rights Council article, just keeping the link to this article. --Manfercas (talk) 05:20, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: They do not. They only receive a budget to visit two countries and a per diem indemnity to travel to New Yok and Geneva to present their reports twice a year. Otherwise, some are largely funded by private foundations and some countries, while others can barely support their operating costs. GuydeBerg (talk) 09:41, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct. This Wiki page focuses on private entities and singles out Ford Foundation and Open Society Foundations. It's worth at least mentioning that governments contribute too, note that it is all transparent through an annual report of all Special Procedures, and possibly highlight some interesting examples (as done with the foundations).

replies: text: I am 100% in agreement. There is nothing in the presentation of this article that supports such a deviation from normal editing practices. I suspect this is an artifact from a copied original list. BD2412 T 15:47, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
