Resolution adopted by the Human Rights Council on 2 October 2015
30/24.
National policies and human rights
The Human Rights Council,
Guided by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations,
Guided also by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a common standard
of achievement for all peoples and all nations,
Recalling all relevant international human rights treaties, including the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social
and Cultural Rights,
Recalling also its resolutions 23/19 of 23 June 2013 and 27/26 of 26 September
2014 on national policies and human rights,
Recalling further that States emphasized in the Vienna Declaration and Programme
of Action and the 2005 World Summit Outcome 1 that they bear the responsibility, in
conformity with the Charter, to develop and encourage respect for human rights and
fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction of any kind such as race, colour, sex,
language, disability, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property,
birth or other status,
Bearing in mind that States should integrate their obligations and commitments
under international human rights law into their national legislation in order to ensure that
State action at the national level is effectively directed towards the promotion and
protection of all human rights and fundamental freedoms,
Noting that State action aimed at the promotion, protection and full realization of
human rights and fundamental freedoms at the national level is most effective when fully
integrated into national policies based on a human rights perspective,
Reaffirming that all human rights are inalienable, universal, indivisible,
interdependent and interrelated and that, therefore, national policies aimed at their
promotion and protection will also have a mutually reinforcing effect on their realization,
