Rights Council. These milestones symbolize the lasting and ever-increasing value of
international human rights law and standards anchored in the principle of human
dignity. Nevertheless, large parts of these instruments await full acceptance and
implementation by all States.

It is encouraging that structures to protect and promote human rights at the
national level have generally improved. Many Member States have established
national mechanisms for comprehensive reporting and follow-up to the
recommendations of the international human rights mechanisms and have worked
with United Nations country teams to better align their development assistance plans
to human rights principles. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provides a
new, multidisciplinary framework to pull the most vulnerable out of poverty and
create greater well-being. Implementing the 2030 Agenda through a human rightsbased approach is essential to fully realize these goals. It will require sustained
cooperation between Member States and other international partners to effectively
ensure that no one is left behind.

In the commitments made at the World Humanitarian Summit and the highlevel plenary meeting of the General Assembly on addressing large movements of
refugees and migrants, States recognized the centrality of human rights to the many
challenges facing the world today. It is fundamental to build upon this positive
momentum to ensure that the promises of these initiatives are fulfilled and that
national and international responses to crises result in greater human rights
protection for all.
