A/HRC/6/22
page 12
Determined to take new steps forward in the commitment of the international community
with a view to achieving substantial progress in human rights endeavours by an increased and
sustained effort of international cooperation and solidarity,
Asserting the necessity for establishing new, equitable and global links of partnership and
intra-generational solidarity, and for promoting intergenerational solidarity for the perpetuation
of humankind,
Recognizing that the attention paid to the importance of international solidarity as a vital
component of the efforts of developing countries towards the realization of the right to
development of their peoples and the promotion of the full enjoyment of economic, social and
cultural rights by everyone has been insufficient,
Resolved to strive to ensure that the present generations are fully aware of their
responsibilities towards future generations, and that a better world is possible for the present and
future generations,
1.
Reaffirms the recognition set forth in the declaration adopted by the Heads of State
and Government at the Millennium Summit of the United Nations of the fundamental value of
solidarity to international relations in the twenty-first century, in stating that global challenges
must be managed in a way that distributes costs and burdens fairly, in accordance with basic
principles of equity and social justice, and that those who suffer, or who benefit least, deserve
help from those who benefit most;
2.
Expresses its determination to contribute towards the solution of current world
problems through increased international cooperation, to create such conditions as will ensure
that the needs and interests of future generations are not jeopardized by the burden of the past,
and to hand on a better world to future generations;
3.
Urges the international community to consider urgently concrete measures to
promote and consolidate international assistance to developing countries in their endeavours for
development and for the promotion of conditions that make possible the full realization of all
human rights;
4.
Recognizes that the so-called “third-generation rights” closely interrelated to the
fundamental value of solidarity need further progressive development within the United Nations
human rights machinery in order to be able to respond to the increasing challenges of
international cooperation in this field;
5.
Requests all States, United Nations agencies, other relevant international
organizations and non-governmental organizations to mainstream the right of peoples and
individuals to international solidarity in their activities;
6.
Decides, taking into account the urgent need to further develop guidelines, standards,
norms and principles with a view to promoting and protecting the right of peoples and
individuals to international solidarity, to request the independent expert on human rights and
international solidarity to continue discharging his mandate, subject to the review of this
mandate that will be accomplished by the Council in the near future;
