A/HRC/32/43 hold her consultation in the Pacific, closer to the small island developing States that were often left out of international discussions mainly because of their remote location and the difficulty of travelling there. A. Panel presentations and discussion on human rights and international solidarity 33. The first panel discussion addressed international human rights law and international solidarity, along with international cooperation and the duty of States regarding the realization of human rights. These presentations brought out a number of key points, including the fact that a right to international solidarity could be understood as a transformative toolkit, in the spirit of the new Sustainable Development Goals, for the implementation of international cooperation in the best interest of all, leaving no one behind. Solidarity was said to be part of the values of democratic societies and ultimately also reflected in the practices of States at the regional and international levels. From the perspective of international relations, there could be more than one understanding of the incentives or motivations of States with regard to cooperating in the field of human rights. From that followed the suggestion that it was important, while reviewing the draft declaration, to reflect on what incentives could be given to motivate States to uphold international solidarity. It was highlighted that, generally, agreements on solidarity only lasted as long as they benefited the parties engaged. For example, States might use advocacy for human rights to increase soft power, or might perceive solidarity and human rights as a means of enhancing their prestige or image. 34. The second panel focused on climate change and common but differentiated responsibilities, protecting cultural heritage from the adverse effects of climate change, international solidarity and the global partnership for development, accountability for international development funds, regional solidarity in relation to the Framework for Pacific Regionalism, and national solidarity and the role of civil society in building resilience. The presentations touched on various issues relevant to the Pacific region, some of them also linked to global issues. The view was expressed that the principle of common but differentiated responsibility with regard to environmental degradation, which embodied the principle of international solidarity, was a source of tension among States in the United Nations system. The notion of extraterritorial obligations of States also meant holding those responsible for environment-related crises in other countries accountable, including the so-called “big polluters” that were domiciled within those States. It was highlighted that environmental degradation could have an irreversible impact, leading to the loss of not only tangible cultural heritage, but also intangible cultural heritage, such as living traditions, through the movement and displacement of populations. Relocation of communities was identified as a possible cause of the loss of traditional cultural practices, collective identity and a sense of belonging. Moreover, the preservation of the cultural heritage of local communities was said to be a critical element in building resilience linked to disaster management and adaptation in response to extreme climate conditions. Adaptation also required a change in the way States interacted with each other; a right to international solidarity would provide lasting guiding standards. Examples were given of the work being done by Vanuatu to strengthen institutional capacity and good governance, including mechanisms for international aid accountability, through the insertion of anti-corruption clauses in aid agreements and the improvement of financial management and transparency concerning public aid. The Framework for Pacific Regionalism, adopted in 2014, was presented. It was underscored that the Framework articulated a regional vision integrating a set of regional values to guide policymaking and implementation, including the promotion and protection of human rights, to achieve the four goals of economic growth, sustainable development, good governance and security. Key features of that framework included the 13
