A/HRC/41/21 D. Human rights and specific Sustainable Development Goals Realization of economic, social and cultural rights – a path towards implementation of the Goals 45. While the Sustainable Development Goals themselves are not framed explicitly in the language of human rights, virtually all of the Goals correspond to the contents of key economic, social and cultural rights. Several Goals are specifically focused on corresponding economic, social and cultural rights – such as the right to adequate food (Goal 2 on ending hunger, achieving food security and improved nutrition and promoting sustainable agriculture), the right to health (Goal 3 on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages), the right to education (Goal 4 on ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all), the right to safe drinking water and sanitation (Goal 6 on ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all), the right to work (Goal 8 on promoting sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all), and the right to an adequate standard of living, including the right to adequate housing, and equal ownership to land and properties (Goal 11 on making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable). 46. Given this, there are a number of national policies aimed at both securing economic, social and cultural rights and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. In 2017, South Africa launched a national HIV plan aimed at significantly reducing infection rates, discrimination and stigma by providing information, psychosocial support and treatment to all members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex community. 16 Regarding the rights of persons with disabilities in Guatemala, OHCHR provided technical assistance to the State on a draft law on mental health. OHCHR Guatemala made recommendations on the labour inclusion of persons with disabilities and prepared an initial mapping of draft laws related to the rights of persons with disabilities. The Guatemala office also provided support to the Government to ensure that legislation and policy increasingly complies with international human rights norms in relation to the rights to food, housing and land. 47. In January 2018, the Government of France issued an interministerial instruction envisaging that France would have no slums within five years, and a supervisory body was established in June to monitor its implementation. As a result of efforts undertaken since 2013, the French authorities have succeeded in bringing 5,132 persons previously living in slums into mainstream housing, and 6,438 children have been enrolled in school. These are important achievements. Nevertheless, in France today, according to official data, approximately 16,000 people live in some 570 informal slums (bidonvilles) or squats. OHCHR has long advocated for the right to adequate housing and related human rights of Roma in France, including through a mission to the country carried out in 2018. 17 48. The Government of Indonesia reiterated its commitment to strengthen the rights of local communities over land and forests, and in December 2016 recognized nine indigenous communities’ rights to customary forest areas covering a total of 13,100 hectares. The Government has committed to returning a total of 12.7 million hectares of community forests by 2019, which raises the potential for progress towards the implementation of targets under Goals 1 and 12 particularly. 49. Land legislation was adopted in Timor-Leste, to strengthen security of land tenure for all Timorese people. The legislation includes a specific provision in relation to vulnerable groups to guarantee “adequate information for consultation with and participation of these groups, in a way that promotes the right to equality and nondiscrimination”. 50. Indigenous representatives in Cambodia engaged in consultations with authorities on the draft Environmental Code and the draft Law on Agricultural Land Management. 16 17 10 A/HRC/38/37, para. 50.
