A/HRC/33/21 including control of the unethical marketing of drugs; control of the use of antibiotics in livestock; education of the public; and discovery of new antibiotics. Developing countries required funds and technology, as well as access to existing and new antibiotics at affordable prices. 37. Finally, the challenge of meeting the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals was closely connected with the right to development. However, in the absence of adequate means of implementation, the Goals would remain only noble aims. There was a need for international cooperation in the provision of finance and technology to developing countries; establishing appropriate international rules in trade, finance, investment, intellectual property and technology; and increased sensitivity in policy-making in developed countries. The approach and instruments of the right to development would complement the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. In turn, the fulfilment of the Goals would be helpful for the realization of the right to development. B. Interactive discussion 38.

The speakers who took the floor affirmed that the realization of the right to development was a necessity and required political will to ensure a better future for all. The right to development must not be reduced to a secondary right; it must be central to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and not be limited to the goals of eradicating poverty and ensuring access to adequate housing, among others.
