A/HRC/16/20 46. In relation to the global food crisis, OHCHR actively participated in the SecretaryGeneral’s High-Level Task Force on the Global Food Security Crisis and contributed to the update of the Comprehensive Framework for Action for United Nations agencies and Bretton Woods Institutes by integrating the right to food and a human rights-based approach as one of the strategic entry points to address world food and nutrition security. 47. OHCHR also continued to advocate for bringing the human rights dimension to the centre of the climate-change debate, highlighting that climate change-related effects are felt not only by States and economies, but also – and more fundamentally – by individuals and communities. A human rights-based approach demands the participation of affected communities, attention to non-discrimination, and accountability of all duty-bearers to the rights-holders who experience the consequences of policies and practices. The importance of considering the human rights implications of climate change-related effects has been emphasized by my Office through a number of public statements, including during the sixteenth Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, held in Cancun, Mexico, in December 2010. 48. OHCHR organized a consultation on land and human rights in November as an emerging issue. The outcome of this consultation will guide our work in the coming years. In addition, OHCHR published three new fact sheets: on the right to adequate food, with FAO; on the right to water, with WHO and UN- Habitat, and on the right to adequate housing with UN-Habitat. Since 2009, OHCHR issues an ESCR Bulletin for internal circulation and in October 2010, OHCHR launched a public edition for external partners, to inform on the work of the Office on these rights and provide useful materials, tools and case law. 49. Consistent with Member States’ commitments in the 2005 World Summit Outcome and 2010 Millennium Development Goals Summit Outcome, OHCHR has been leading interagency efforts under the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) to further integrate human rights in United Nations operational activities for development and to strengthen policy coherence, coordination and capacity in the United Nations system to better respond to national priorities.. Such a holistic approach to the United Nations mission would help to bring together the three pillars of the United Nations work, in line with relevant intergovernmental agreements, and uphold the indivisibility of human rights including the right to development. 50. OHCHR contributed to the preparatory processes of the High-Level Plenary Meeting on the Millennium Development Goals in New York, which supported Member States’ in achieving the inclusive catalogue of human rights commitments in the Summit Outcome document. The commitments covered a wide range of issues affecting dutybearers at all levels, including in relation to maternal mortality and morbidity, the rights to food and health, the right to development and the important action agenda on trade, aid and debt relief. At the Summit itself, I was honored to participate in and address Roundtable Five on ‘addressing the special needs of the most vulnerable’, as well as side events on maternal mortality and smarter global partnerships under Goal 8. 51. In the lead-up to the Summit, OHCHR contributed substantively to intergovernmental discussions, research and policy work on the MDGs, through convening an expert seminar in March 2010, extending strengthened support to special procedure mandate holders on MDG issues within their mandates, and increased engagement with and contributions to the UNDG MDG Task Force’s preparatory work and thematic reports on MDGs. Supporting States in the implementation of their Summit commitments, and strengthening partnerships between human rights and development actors, will be important priorities in the future. 11
