A/HRC/40/34 measures and chains of responsibility in government. Second, Burkina Faso produced reports for the universal periodic review and treaty bodies that contained material useful for the voluntary national review, and it was using treaty body reporting as input for its upcoming review. 43. To illustrate the value of recommendations from human rights mechanisms for the Sustainable Development Goals, Mr. Bambara referred to Goal 4, which required that all children complete primary and secondary school by 2030. Recommendations from the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in 2016 and the universal periodic review in 2018 would help Burkina Faso to achieve this Sustainable Development Goal. 44. The office in Burkina Faso that drafted reports to the treaty bodies endeavoured to ensure consistency with work on the Sustainable Development Goals. In addition, efforts were being made to address the challenges of consultation with State and non-State actors, including the national human rights institution. 45. The national human rights action plan of Burkina Faso focused on Sustainable Development Goals and pursued better synergy between the human rights implementation plan, treaty body recommendations and the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals by merging and consolidating human rights recommendations and applying to them to relevant Goals and relevant targets of the Goals. 46. Ms. Grambye’s presentation 9 focused on lessons learned from the country-level experience of the Danish Institute for Human Rights and on the development of tools and methodologies for work on human rights and Sustainable Development Goals. She noted that the Danish Institute for Human Rights had been engaged with the 2030 Agenda from the outset, seeing the Agenda and human rights as potential mutual reinforcers. Ms. Grambye summarized the lessons learned as “the five Cs” – convergence, convenience, complementarity, coherence and consensus – five key elements that paved the way for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and realizing human rights in an integrated manner. 47. Ms. Grambye illustrated the key element “convergence” using the online database of the Danish Institute for Human Rights,10 which linked articles of human rights conventions with targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. The database showed that 92 per cent of the 169 targets of the Sustainable Development Goals were linked to specific articles in international human rights instruments. 48. Ms. Grambye stated that the lesson learned that related to the key element “convenience” was that the substantial links between human rights and the Sustainable Development Goals meant that reporting by States to human rights bodies could double as Sustainable Development Goal reporting. States could rely on high-quality analysis and recommendations received from the human rights monitoring mechanisms to guide Sustainable Development Goal implementation. To make this treasure trove easier to use, the Danish Institute for Human Rights, in collaboration with OHCHR, had developed a database based on an algorithm that made machine-readable the thousands of recommendations from the universal periodic review, treaty bodies and special procedures and linked them to specific targets of the Sustainable Development Goals, for specific countries and vulnerable groups.11 49. Ms. Grambye noted that integrated approaches were convenient and enhanced efficiency and accountability. They involved the key element “complementarity” in that they combined a whole-of-government approach with a whole-of-society approach. The Danish Institute for Human Rights had also developed a platform to assist companies in understanding how their due diligence in human rights could contribute to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals. 50. Ms. Grambye stated that, with regard to the key element “coherence”, combining human rights obligations with Sustainable Development Goal commitments provided a 9 10 11 8 See www.ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/SDGS/2030/EvaGrambye.pdf.
