A/HRC/27/45 70. Another submission recommended specific indicators and reformulation of a subcriterion to reflect the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures on development, and further indicators for measuring the elimination of sexual exploitation and human trafficking. One submission provided an overview of steps taken at the national level to ensure the realization of the right to development, steps taken in international cooperation and steps taken at the regional level, such as the drafting of a regional human development report focusing on the right to development. 71. A joint submission from civil society organizations emphasized the urgent need to fully implement the right to development to overcome structural obstacles at the international and national levels. The post-2015 development agenda should be aligned with the human rights-based approach and focus on the right to development. While indicators were necessary to monitor the implementation of the right to development, they should be determined after agreement had been reached on the criteria and subcriteria. Experts might be more competent and neutral in identifying indicators, while States should indicate specific national subparameters for responding to the needs of a specific population/country. The criteria and operational subcriteria should reflect all the articles of the Declaration on the Right to Development, including its preamble, as the principal source. The criteria and subcriteria must address structural imbalances and remove obstacles to the realization of an enabling international and national environment for implementing the right to development. 72. One contribution cautioned against further expanding the list of criteria and subcriteria. On attribute 2, “Participatory human rights processes,” it suggested that the relevance of constitution-building processes in the consolidation of the rule of law, and the role of electoral participation in the strengthening of democracy should be emphasized, and the participation of women, youth and ethnic minorities in those processes, especially in the context of post-conflict reconstruction and peacebuilding, should be advocated. On attribute 3, “Social justice in development,” it encouraged, all possible mutual feedback with the post-2015 development agenda, including on structural change and social covenants for equality. It called for specific attention to sustainable development and the equitable use of natural resources. 73. Another contribution emphasized the need for non-discrimination in development and the fair sharing of the benefits and burdens of development. It advocated a mixed economy as the most suited to create favourable conditions for development, and highlighted social safety nets, green technology, health-care systems and education as important elements for achieving development. Another submission shared information on experiences in promoting women’s leadership and participation. 74. One submission pointed out that the draft right to development criteria and operational subcriteria did not clearly clarify the core elements and principles of the right to development and the responsibilities which the international community, especially developed countries, should assume to implement that right. It suggested revising the draft criteria and subcriteria to strike a balance between “human rights-based development” and “the right to development”; between “development as a human right” and “human rights as development”; and between international responsibility and domestic responsibility. The submission contained several concrete proposals for revising the draft subcriteria, formulating new subcriteria, and revising and/or proposing indicators. While underlining that further studies and new international legal instruments were needed, such as a convention on the right to development, the suggestion was made that guidelines should be elaborated for implementing the Declaration on the Right to Development. It was necessary to distinguish between the right to development and human rights-based development and human rights. It was pointed out that the right to development emphasized fair and equal opportunities for development among subjects at different stages of development, with the 16
