A/HRC/21/45 57. Among practices to be studied are enhanced press freedom, access to the Internet worldwide, regular elections and election monitoring. Current developments in social media may contribute insights. In her statement at the fall session of the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination, held in New York in October 2011, the High Commissioner for Human Rights noted that ―human rights, democracy and the rule of law are as much a part of the UN brand as peacekeeping and development assistance‖. In her opening statement for the nineteenth session of the Human Rights Council, she stated: Much of this historic period has been marked by public demands of people to live a life of dignity and enjoyment of human rights. Although most striking in several countries of the Arab region where we have seen tens of thousands of women, men and young people take to the streets to voice their claims, popular movements denouncing exclusion, inequality, discrimination, absence of genuine political participation and lack of economic and social rights have emerged on all continents, as people have shown themselves unwilling to accept impunity and lack of accountability for the actions of Governments, international institutions and the transnational and national private sectors. People are demanding freedom: freedom from fear, and freedom from want. They are demanding respect of the rule of law – including in the economic sphere – and full participation in decisions that affect their lives. 58. With regard to an international order that shall be more equitable, the Independent Expert commends those countries that have met their commitments under the Millennium Declaration, in particular the Millennium Development Goals, as well as progress achieved in technology transfer and access to medical services and drugs. Foreign investment is necessary in developing countries, provided that the profits therefrom are equitably shared. Praiseworthy, too, is the growing consciousness that the products we buy at a grocery store or elsewhere should come from equitable production and trade, as illustrated by the growing popularity of fair trade coffee, flowers and other products. The mandate holder will endeavour to obtain more precise information on good practices through questionnaires and consultations. 59. Women‘s peace movements have raised major issues relating to war and conflict situations. Without doubt, these movements to wage peace have accomplished historical inroads in influencing public opinion and are reflected in Security Council resolutions 1325 (2000), 1820 (2008), 1888 (2009) and 1889 (2009), bringing a gender perspective into peace negotiations. 60. The Independent Expert is aware of State and private-sector programmes of cultural cooperation and mutual improvement of school textbooks and curricula. Textbooks should mainstream human rights and democratic values and eliminate stereotypes. 61. Among good practices in the United Nations system the Independent Expert will study the successes of OHCHR in providing advisory services and technical assistance to countries in transition to democracy, and the operation of the ILO tripartite system in achieving more equitable labour conditions worldwide. At Rio +20 (the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, held from 20 to 22 June 2012), the follow-up conference to the Earth Summit of 1992 and Agenda 21, the participating States committed themselves to a ―green economy‖, adopting an outcome document entitled ―The Future We Want‖, aiming at sustainable development. 62. The mandate holder will study the results of the Human Rights Council‘s universal periodic review, which is one step towards international democratic order through dialogue among stakeholders. The Governments–United Nations–civil society triangle should be further developed. Without a doubt, individuals and peoples have emerged as interlocutors 19
