A/HRC/8/52 page 155 436. The regional preparatory conference for the Durban Review Conference would be held in Brasilia, from 17 to 19 June. The conference would bring together delegations from South and Central America, the Caribbean region and representatives of civil society to discuss what the region expected from the Durban Review Conference and how it could contribute to the review process. 437. From 25 to 28 November, the third World Congress against the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents would bring together more than 3,000 people in Rio de Janeiro to explore the challenges of implementing an intersectoral approach to the global fight against the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents. Brazil invited all States and representatives of civil society present to come together for the third Congress so that efforts could be combined to combat that crime. 438. With regard to the Council, Brazil was committed to launching a set of human rights voluntary goals by December 2008. Brazil and the co-sponsors of the initiative continued to count on the cooperation of all States in the elaboration of these goals in commemoration of the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 439. Furthermore, on the eve of the twentieth anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Brazil expected that a resolution would be consensually adopted at the next session of the Council. The draft guidelines on alternative care for children without parental care should be adopted by the Council and transmitted to the General Assembly. The guidelines were an important complement to the system of child protection established by the Convention. 440. Brazil also mentioned the holding of the first National Conference of Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals and of the third Film Festival on Human Rights and Cinema in South America, among many other initiatives. Brazil stated that its voluntary commitment to creating a national system of human rights indicators and the elaboration of annual reports on the situation of human rights, taking into account the follow-up to the universal periodic review, would be fundamental tools for the domestic monitoring of human rights. 441. Brazil also highlighted that, in the last week of May, a second public hearing, as a follow-up to the one held before the conclusion of its national report, had been held by the Commission of Human Rights and Minorities of the House of Representatives. On that occasion, civil society organizations were able to express their opinions regarding the universal periodic review process and make comments on the participation of Brazil in international human rights forums. 442. Brazil pointed out that its commitments before the Council meant concrete actions in Brazil; along the way, the Government was open to a transparent and objective dialogue with civil society, because no public policy could be effective without its participation. Non-governmental organizations in Brazil had been partners of the Government in the improvement of human rights standards. 443. Brazil thanked all countries that had participated in the review of the Brazilian report, and expressed its gratitude to the members of the troika and to the States that had recently supported the re-election of Brazil to the Council.
