A/HRC/4/8 page 12 also rendered the interaction between international actors more and more interdependent, and has engendered a more humane approach, including that of upholding the rights of people in the light of human rights. 48. The independent expert in his second report has concentrated on three major areas of focus which reflect global issues and their challenges. International solidarity need to be more developed in international relations for the sake of human rights. Global responses to natural disasters, diseases and agricultural pests are tangible issues, which profoundly affect human life and need more concerted efforts to address them. Third-generation rights are not new, and need to be acknowledged in United Nations human rights instruments to better address global challenges. By means of this second report, the independent expert intends to bring about further acknowledgement of international solidarity as a right of peoples. The independent expert sees the duty of solidarity as an imperative prerequisite of globalization. 49. The report of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to the 2005 session of the Economic and Social Council (E/2005/65) addressed the human rights dimension of the Millennium Declaration and in particular the links between human rights and the Millennium Development Goals, since human rights and the goals share similar motivations and are complementary in their approaches. The independent expert calls for more resources to be available to developing countries for the purpose of meeting the Millennium Development Goals. 50. It has been argued in this report that the international community must accept international solidarity as the right of peoples. In addition, this report also introduces potential actions, by proposing practical measures as a set of examples. This report also adds new potential issues, such as avian influenza as one of the potential pandemic diseases. The independent expert has also been willing to highlight issues that have received less international attention, such as agricultural pests, with the intention of supporting efforts on poverty eradication and fighting hunger. -----
