A/HRC/32/43 (j) Additional reference to General Assembly resolution 2625 (XXV), on the Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, as well as a reference to the unitary system of international law and peremptory norms, without having to name all of them specifically, would be beneficial. It was stressed that the international legal system was aimed at the people who were served by States and that therefore people and individuals should remain the rights holders and States the duty bearers; (k) Finally, it was noted once again that there should be a more precise definition of non-state actors. Civil society, including its responsibility with regard to promoting and building international solidarity, should also be better reflected in the draft, and in the operational paragraphs rather than in the preamble. VII. Conclusions 44. The Independent Expert on human rights and international solidarity has summarized in the present report the proceedings of the five regional consultations on the proposed draft declaration. She wishes to express her gratitude to all those who participated in the consultations: the States who sent their representatives; the independent experts of the United Nations treaty body system and Human Rights Council special procedures mechanisms; representatives of the United Nations entities, including the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights; and the human rights experts from regional and national institutions, academia and non-governmental organizations. The Independent Expert expresses her gratitude for their cooperation, assistance and willingness to engage, and for the invaluable contributions they have made to this project. 45. The next step in the way forward in the work of the mandate of human rights and international solidarity is to systematically organize the comments and recommendations of a general nature on the concept, structure and substance of the proposed draft declaration, and the specific inputs resulting from the review of articles conducted in each of the five regional consultations. This consolidation is under way, while at the same time the Independent Expert has been reflecting on each comment and recommendation and giving consideration to the value it will add to refining the proposed draft declaration. 46. The Independent Expert will consult and seek advice on issues relating to which there may be conflict of opinion and/or issues of a legal nature may be involved. She will then make a first attempt to revise the proposed draft declaration, informed by the outcomes of the five regional consultations, as appropriate. Subject to the availability of resources, the Independent Expert would like to convene an expert meeting to examine the first revision of the document, with a view to giving specific recommendations for its finalization before submission of a final draft declaration by the end of her term in June 2017, as requested by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 26/6. 47. The Independent Expert has noted a number of recurring issues that have emerged from the regional consultations which have not been resolved, including the qualification of “non-state actors” and the identification of rights holders and duty bearers as having the right to international solidarity, and also the definition of the right itself. The Independent Expert will give due consideration to all the recurring issues and invite further inputs and suggestions in this regard. She will explore these 18
