A/HRC/7/32 page 18 Croatia, the Dominican Republic, Iraq, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Romania, Rwanda, Trinidad and Tobago and Yemen have adopted an integrated, multisectoral and participatory approach as recognized in the draft guiding principles. Trinidad and Tobago has mechanisms in place to oversee the implementation of central government decisions in terms of social programmes. In France, there is a law on the fight against exclusion, and on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (17 October), the President of France announced that fighting poverty would be considered a national priority. At the regional level, the European Union has adopted the European Social Charter, with a focus on the right to protection against poverty and social exclusion, and launched the Lisbon Agenda with the objective of facilitating the eradication of poverty by 2010. IV. SUGGESTED NEXT STEPS 118. A number of Governments and NGOs5 suggested that the draft guiding principles could be used as a stimulus and guide for implementing further policies and in assisting bodies monitoring the delivery of social services. They also expressed hope that the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly would adopt the draft guiding principles as soon as possible and proposed calling for a declaration on extreme poverty and human rights. The Government of France specifically recommended that the Human Rights Council establish a working group to examine in greater detail the content of the draft guiding principles. 5 France, Italy, Rwanda, Trinidad and Tobago; Comité Quart Monde Européen, Associazione ONG Italiane, NGO Committee for Social Development, Marangopoulos Foundation for Human Rights, Care International, University of Padova.
