A/HRC/12/WG.2/TF/2 page 5 treaty. Cuba, on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement, recalled that the mandate of the task force did not include the elaboration of any type of recommendation or reflection on the legal form that a future instrument on the right to development should take. Cuba considered it to be clear from Assembly and Council resolutions that there should be a separate instrument in the form of a convention, to be proposed in due course, according to a process to be determined by Member States. The Chairperson-Rapporteur of the task force agreed that the task force did not intend to pronounce itself on a legal instrument, although several of its members had published their views on the topic. The Chairperson of the Working Group agreed that considering a legally-binding instrument was not currently the mandate of the task force and that it would be discussed by the Working Group. However, if this were to become its mandate, the task force would be well-placed to assist the Working Group. IV. PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSION A. Continued dialogue with global partnerships reviewed at previous sessions 1. African Peer Review Mechanism 15. Raymond Atuguba provided an update on the African Peer Review Mechanism, noting that, currently, 29 countries had acceded and six countries had completed their reviews. As examples of positive developments, he referred to the current constitutional review process in Ghana (the second time in 16 years, owing mainly to proposals after the review process for that country) and the improvement of data collection in Nigeria, an essential measure for the monitoring and evaluation of the activities of the Government. Mr. Atuguba concluded with recommendations on how the task force could use the Mechanism to enhance its work. 16. Noting the absence of a representative from organizations responsible for the Mechanism, the Chairperson of the Working Group suggested considering other modalities for dialogue, including a special mission to seek their views and cooperation. 2. Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness 17. Presenting the results of the survey conducted and related consultations held in the leadup to the Accra high-level meeting held in September 2008, the representative of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) noted the shortcomings on the ownership, inclusive partnerships and results agendas, as well as some progress made in relation to aid predictability, untying aid, approaches to fragile States and aid conditionality. There had been a perceptible change in the relationship between donor agencies and partner countries, characterized by transparency and a greater degree of trust and accountability. OECD stressed the importance of developing countries’ ownership of the Paris Declaration agenda. The Chairperson-Rapporteur noted as positive outcomes the explicit acknowledgment of the primacy of development effectiveness as a measure of aid effectiveness and gender equality, human rights and environmental sustainability, all of which are part of the right to development criteria.
