other international human rights instruments and domestic law?
c. Should a binding instrument incorporate procedural rights and substantive  rights of victims, or only focus on procedural rights?

International Cooperation:   
...
a. Is your country a Party to any multilateral, regional or bilateral  agreement on international cooperation for mutual legal assistance or for recognition and enforcement of judgements or other similar conventions? If so, please provide examples on their implementation and effectiveness?
b. Does your delegation considers that a future binding instrument resulting  from mandate of Resolution 26/9 should encompass a section on international  cooperation? If so, please provide suggestions on what should be covered under this section.

proceedings in cases of violations of human rights by business enterprises?
