D. Remarks by the Independent Expert 55. The Independent Expert reiterates that the preceding paragraphs comprise only a summary account of some of her observations from her country study mission in Brazil. As such, the summary does not reflect other information that was gathered during her visit. To provide a broader frame of reference and a closer examination of the practices of international solidarity in the international cooperation programmes of Brazil, a full report will be forthcoming in this respect, and will be submitted to the 24th session of the Human Rights Council in September 2013. 56. Given what she has observed and learned from her first country study mission to Brazil, the Independent Expert commends the Government of Brazil for its policy and practice of solidarity in its international cooperation programme in all its modalities, both in South-South and triangular cooperation contexts. She is impressed by the iterative reference to solidarity as the driving force of Brazilian cooperation, across all ministries and offices of Government without exception which are involved in cooperation projects. 57. From this first country study mission, the Independent Expert has come to realize that in examining the interface between good practices of international solidarity in international cooperation and the realization of human rights, partnerships should be studied from both angles for a full validation of the impact of such practices. She hopes therefore, that her next country study mission will be to one of the partner countries of Brazil in Africa. V. Other activities 58.
