A/HRC/32/43 emphasis on political decisions, and inclusiveness and consultation in framing policies for regional action, thereby promoting a participatory process. The establishment of a specialist advisory board, composed of independent representatives, to review proposals and define the agenda of the region was also mentioned. That approach was portrayed as reflecting solidarity at the regional level. B. Comments and recommendations of a general nature on the proposed draft declaration 35. Highlights of major issues, comments and suggestions of a general nature are summarized as follows: (a) It was said that the preambular paragraphs should provide an overview of the benefits of the draft declaration, and include how translating the principle of international solidarity into a right would add value to the human rights framework, making it more meaningful to people on the ground; (b) Once more a proposition was made to include in the preambular paragraphs the outcomes of the more recent major United Nations conferences, such as the United Nations summit for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda, the Climate Summit and the third International Conference on Financing for Development. The preambular paragraphs should also contain a rationale for how a right to international solidarity could provide a coherent conceptual and operational framework for regulating the spectrum of governance issues, including the negative impact of corruption and bad governance on development cooperation; (c) It was stressed that mechanisms of accountability were key to ensuring that solidarity cooperation addressed inequality and discrimination and that development aid reached intended beneficiaries to fulfil its purpose. Thus, the principle of accountability should be given more prominence by referring to it in the preambular paragraphs. Specific applications of accountability could then be dealt with in the relevant articles; (d) It was once again suggested to rearrange the operational paragraphs and place them under three or four appropriate subheadings for better conceptual logic and easier reading; (e) The recurring concerns about non-state actors were again raised, with an emphasis on the need for the accountability of non-state actors to be differentiated from that of the state, and for the term to be more precisely defined; (f) Considering the approach that national practices of solidarity could promote international solidarity, it was suggested that the proposed draft declaration refer specifically to the role of independent national human rights institutions in the protection and promotion of international solidarity at the national level; (g) It was stressed that climate and environment issues linked to the extraterritorial obligations of States deserved a stand-alone paragraph under the operational paragraphs; (h) The Independent Expert was requested to consider including in the draft, references to issues of foreign debt, as well as the rights of women and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons. 14
