A/HRC/30/22 human rights obligations. That was especially relevant in the context of State-driven processes at the United Nations, including the negotiations on the post-2015 development agenda. 42. In her report to the twenty-seventh session of the Human Rights Council, the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences (A/HRC/27/53), outlined the priorities on which she intended to focus during her tenure. Among them, she identified the structural and systemic causes of poverty and inequality, which rendered the poor and marginalized most vulnerable to slavery and labour exploitation. IV. Conclusions and recommendations 43. United Nations human rights mechanisms are paying increasing attention to issues at the core of the right to development. 44. During the reporting period, relevant work undertaken by OHCHR and the United Nations human rights mechanisms, including special rapporteurs and treaty bodies, centred principally on the post-2015 development agenda, the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, to be held in Paris, the Third International Conference on Financing for Development Conference, to be held in Addis Ababa, and the functioning of international financial institutions. 45. Consideration should be given to identifying possible synergies between the processes established to monitor progress and accountability in the implementation of the sustainable development goals and targets and in the progressive realization of the right to development. In that regard, it would be important for the Working Group on the Right to Development to consider coherence and consistency between the sustainable development goals and targets and the Declaration on the Right to Development. 46. The continued political impasse within the Working Group on the Right to Development represents an obstacle to the work of the United Nations in making progress on the right to development. 47. In 2016, the international community will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the United Nations Declaration on the Right to Development, at the same time as it embarks on the implementation of the new sustainable development goals. This is an opportunity to evaluate the progress made to date in the realization of the right to development, to identify obstacles and consider avenues for enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of processes and efforts aimed at ensuring the effective enjoyment of the right to development by all people, everywhere. 11
