A/HRC/26/34 (a) Preventive solidarity, characterized by collective actions to safeguard and ensure the fulfilment of all human rights, implies for States to fully respect and comply with their obligations under international law, and in the case of peoples, individuals, civil society and their organizations, to complement the efforts of States through their activities in that regard. Preventive solidarity is essential to achieving both intergenerational and intra-generational solidarity and is a vital component of the duty of States to provide and seek international cooperation and assistance in the implementation of their human rights obligations, particularly their core obligations; (b) International cooperation rests on the premise that some members of the international community may not possess the resources necessary for the full realization of the rights set forth in international human rights treaties. States in a position to do so should provide international assistance, acting separately and jointly, to contribute to the fulfilment of human rights in other States in a manner consistent with the fundamental principles of international law and international human rights law. Article 4 1. International solidarity shall be a new foundational principle underpinning contemporary international law, responding to the need for transformative change encompassing the objectives of equity, equality in outcome, sustainability, security, social justice and empowerment, applicable to all developing and developed countries alike. 2. As such, the general objective of international solidarity shall be to create an enabling environment in which all human rights, including the right to development, can be progressively realized for all peoples and individuals through international cooperation and preventive solidarity measures undertaken by States, international organizations, civil society and all other stakeholders who constitute international society, in active partnerships with each other, with a view to: (a) Preventing and removing the fundamental causes of the asymmetries and inequalities between developed and developing countries and populations and the structural obstacles and factors that generate and perpetuate poverty worldwide; (b) Engendering trust and mutual respect between State and non-State actors in creating an enabling environment for realizing the right to development; (c) Fostering the equitable, just and fair distribution of benefits in a globalized world through the protection and fulfilment of all human rights for all. Article 5 1. The right to international solidarity shall be understood as a fundamental human right by which peoples and individuals have the freedom to enjoy, on the basis of equality and non-discrimination, the benefits of a harmonious international society with a just and fair international political and economic order, in which all human rights and fundamental freedoms may be fully realized.14 2. Human rights, a birthright which everyone holds in common, binding peoples and individuals together in solidarity across cultural diversities and variations in language, religion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status, shall entitle everyone to the freedom to exercise and enjoy the right to international solidarity, and to participate in and contribute to its full realization in accordance with applicable international human rights standards. 14 Final paper on human rights and international solidarity (A/HRC/21/66), para. 7. 19
