9.
The strategic framework for the period 2014–20151 sets an objective to contribute to
the effective realization of the right to development as a means to advance the promotion
and protection of the effective enjoyment of all human rights by all.
10.
In this regard, OHCHR seeks in particular:
(a)
To integrate the promotion and protection of the right to development into
global partnerships for development and, as appropriate, in the policies and operational
activities of relevant actors at all levels;
(b)
To promote and protect the realization of the right to development;
(c)
To enhance awareness, knowledge and understanding of the right to
development at all levels.
11.
OHCHR has adopted a multidimensional strategy to support the implementation of
the right to development, which focuses on:
(a)
Ensuring the realization of the right to development throughout the human
rights programme and by the relevant bodies of the United Nations system through
strengthened and effective evaluation and monitoring to that end, and taking into account
the need for sustainable development;
(b)
Enhancing substantive support for the Human Rights Council and its
subsidiary mechanisms relating to the right to development, including support for the openended intergovernmental Working Group on the Right to Development;
(c)
Building stronger partnerships and collaboration with relevant actors,
including Member States, multilateral institutions and civil society, including nongovernmental organizations, so that support given to human rights bodies relevant to the
right to development, as well as funds and specialized agencies, will have increased focus
on its practical implementation;
(d)
Encouraging the promotion and protection of the right to development in
global development partnerships, as reflected in Millennium Development Goal 8 (aid,
trade and debt reduction), through advocacy, networking, technical advice and the
establishment of partnerships and other kinds of cooperation;
(e)
Promoting the implementation of the right to development in technical
assistance to requesting States and, taking into account a human rights-based approach, in
national development strategies, such as poverty reduction strategy papers, where they
exist, national Millennium Development Goals strategies and United Nations development
frameworks, through close cooperation with Member States and United Nations agencies,
funds and programmes;
(f)
Identifying obstacles to the implementation of the right to development at the
international, regional and national levels and promoting awareness about the content and
importance of that right, including through increased engagement, research, advocacy and
informational and educational activities;
(g)
Promoting cooperation at the international and regional levels in
mainstreaming the right to development, including by undertaking activities aimed at
effectively strengthening the global partnership for development among Member States,
development agencies and international development, financial and trade institutions.
