A/HRC/43/31 delegation members in the sessions of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review and at the adoption of the review outcomes at Council plenary sessions. The fund allows delegation members to contribute by presenting national reports on the implementation of recommendations addressed to the State. The interactive dialogue held during the session of the Working Group is in turn facilitated, contributing to the formulation of recommendations that are constructive, specific, action-oriented and implementable. XIII. Recommendations 104. Technical assistance and capacity-building should be dispensed in line with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, in particular the principles of sovereignty and non-intervention, and in accordance with the will and real needs of the States concerned. 105. States proposing bilateral technical assistance and capacity-building in the field of human rights to other States should do so only at the request of the latter, and should pursue mutually beneficial cooperation and full respect of the requesting State. Proposing States should avoid applying any pressure to secure cooperation, which would be at the prevailing advantage of their interests. 106. Stakeholders with relevant resources for development cooperation should be advised to extend their technical assistance in a pragmatic manner, not by preaching so-called “universal” values. At the same time, cooperative partnership should be based on mutual trust in their firm determination to eliminate any of gross violations of essential human rights. 107. When advising on the introduction of a new system, the common basis should be, if available, multilaterally discussed texts as model laws and treaties or principles, in particular in the fields of law and policy. 108. In the spirit of strengthening international solidarity, States and relevant international institutions and stakeholders should increase their voluntary contributions to the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Technical Cooperation in the Field of Human Rights and the voluntary fund for financial and technical assistance in the implementation of the universal periodic review in order to increase their operational capacity. 109. States should regularly make and, if possible, increase their voluntary contributions to OHCHR for its activities with regard to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and regularly make and, if possible, increase their contributions for the voluntary fund for participation in the universal periodic review. 110. The Board of Trustees of the Voluntary Fund for Technical Cooperation in the Field of Human Rights and the voluntary fund for financial and technical assistance in the implementation of the universal periodic review has succeeded in gathering much information concerning the impact of technical assistance on the protection and promotion of human rights, and should continue its mission in the future, with the help and assistance of all stakeholders. 111. The General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and the specialized agencies of the United Nations should pay more attention to technical assistance and capacity-building for human rights in their deliberations on international issues relating to human rights, and provide the support and guidance necessary for their effective realization. 112. OHCHR, the Human Rights Council and the specialized agencies of the United Nations should encourage developing countries, in particular the least developed countries, to submit applications for technical assistance and capacity-building in order to strengthen their capacity to protect human rights and increase enjoyment of them by all residents in the States concerned. 16
