A/HRC/39/35 in local and global choices and to act in a responsible way. Switzerland suggested that the fourth phase should be linked to the Incheon Declaration and its framework for action for the implementation of target 4.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals, with a focus on global citizenship education. As main target sectors, it proposed the general public, decision makers in economy and politics, and leaders of educational institutions. 22. The Government of Thailand saw the World Programme as an inspiring and helpful action guide for States and other stakeholders aiming to increase awareness and understanding of human rights. It suggested that the fourth phase focus on synergies and mutually reinforcing linkages between human rights and the Sustainable Development Goals, and in particular target 4.7. It proposed that the target sectors be members of parliament and politicians, business professionals, health-care personnel and, in view of their contribution to human rights protection, science, technology, engineering and mathematics students and professionals. It also encouraged all stakeholders to continue to strengthen their efforts to implement the previous phases of the World Programme, and highlighted the importance of effective coordination between OHCHR, UNESCO and United Nations country teams to ensure coherence and effectiveness in the implementation of the World Programme. III. Responses from national human rights institutions 23. The Office of the National Ombudsman (Defensor del Pueblo de la Nación) of Argentina stressed that the fourth phase should focus on strengthening implementation of the previous phases and of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In accordance with national priorities, the fourth phase could target education personnel, members of professional associations, trade unions, the business community and social organizations, and also health professionals and staff members of health-care institutions. 24. The Australian Human Rights Commission recommended a focus on modern slavery, given its global scale and prevalence.

The National Human Rights Institute (Instituto Nacional de Derechos Humanos) of Chile proposed that the fourth phase focus on strengthening methodological guidance to support the integration of the principles of equality and non-discrimination in compulsory formal education and higher education, and in the training of public officials and those responsible for educational processes in the above sectors. Such a focus would contribute to the universalization of human rights and help to reduce the vulnerability of marginalized groups, particularly in the light of the growing intolerance towards migrants and displaced persons. The implementation of the previous phases of the World Programme had not yet been completed; during the fourth phase, the development of legally binding instruments in the area of human rights education and training might therefore be regarded as a way to strengthen existing commitments. 26. The Office of the Ombudsman (Defensoría del Pueblo) of Colombia suggested that the fourth phase focus on the thematic issues of development, globalization and citizen participation; equality, inclusion and non-discrimination; and security and coexistence. In educational processes, special emphasis should be given to the right to peace, the rights of victims, and also to collective, environmental and cultural rights. It proposed, as target sectors, preschool, basic and primary education personnel, designers and creators of virtual media and social networks, public officials, and victims of internal and international armed conflicts. 27. According to the Danish Institute for Human Rights, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the prevention of violent extremism and the limited implementation of the previous phases of the World Programme should be taken into consideration when deciding on the thematic focus of the fourth phase.
