A/HRC/39/56 33. The representative of Indonesia, expressing agreement with the Non-Aligned Movement and OIC, noted that discussion of a set of standards, criteria and operational subcriteria had continued for some time without concrete results. There should be a political commitment and willingness from all Member States towards the realization of that very important right. International cooperation and global partnership should be recognized by all States as essential elements. Indonesia had made efforts towards realizing the right to development at the national, regional and global levels. 34. The delegate of Azerbaijan expressed agreement with the Non-Aligned Movement and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and spoke of the need for more publicity and visibility with regard to that event and ongoing discussions on the right to development. The exchange of different views would yield concrete results to better promote international cooperation for the realization of the right to development. Azerbaijan expressed hope that the present effort would yield concrete results. The delegate stressed that the 2030 Agenda was the central part of the development agenda at all levels and highlighted that, with mass-scale migration and people on the move, there was a need to strengthen international solidarity and cooperation for the realization of the right to development. 35. The delegate of the Philippines expressed agreement with the Non-Aligned Movement. The Philippines appreciated the progress made in the formulation of the criteria and operational subcriteria and hoped that collaborative engagement during the present session would finalize that exercise. Given that the right to development was an inalienable human right, and reflected in recent major multilateral agreements, it joined other delegations in calling for the start of the elaboration of a legally binding instrument on the right to development. 36. The representative of Syria expressed agreement with the Non-Aligned Movement and noted that, 30 years after the adoption of the Declaration on the Right to Development, there were still a number of obstacles to the realization of that right. The representative stated that developed countries also adopted policies creating such obstacles, such as unilateral coercive measures or the use of terrorism to destabilize other countries. The representative reiterated the importance of the link between different human rights and the importance of international cooperation and the realization of the 2030 Agenda. 37. The representative of the South Centre noted that the right to development was the key element of the work of the Centre and affirmed the importance of the Declaration. The representative recalled the meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement in Baku, at which it was declared that implementing the right to development required a profound change in the international economic structure, including the creation of economic and social conditions that were favourable to developing countries. The representative stressed the need to eradicate poverty, as a critical element for the promotion of the right to development and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. 38. The representative of Associazione Comunità Papa Giovanni XXIII, speaking on behalf of the Geneva-based Forum of Catholic-inspired Non-governmental Organizations, stated that human rights would be better fulfilled if States had the political will and a genuine commitment to the implementation of the right to development and to conceive of it in a holistic, critical and multidimensional way. Effective international cooperation and solidarity among States were necessary to achieve a global framework on the right to development. The Forum hoped that, in the present session, States would conduct the discussion on the criteria and operational subcriteria with a more constructive attitude, in order to conclude the process. As the working document on the criteria and operational subcriteria had progressively become unmanageable, the Forum had produced a table to show similarities and repetitions, in order to speed up the discussion. 39. The representative of the Indian Council of South America expressed concern over the implementation gap between the principles enshrined in the Declaration on the Right to Development and the poor protection of the rights of peoples under colonial domination and occupation. Article 5 of the Declaration on the Right to Development gave a clear indication that the right to self-determination must be included in the elaboration of a draft international instrument. 8
