A/HRC/26/34 2. Second anniversary of the Maastricht Principles 20. In a joint statement dated 28 September 2013, the Special Rapporteurs on extreme poverty and human rights, on the right to food, on the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation and the Independent Expert on human rights and international solidarity urged States worldwide to take into account a set of guidelines known as the Maastricht Principles on the Extraterritorial Obligations of States in the area of Economic, Social and Cultural rights. The Principles had been adopted on 28 September 2011 by leading specialists in international law and human rights in Maastricht, the Netherlands. In the joint statement, the Independent Expert pointed out that principles 26 to 35 clearly spelled out the conduct of States in their relations with each other, taking into account their shared human rights obligations. 3. United Nations Climate Change Conference in Warsaw 21. The Independent Expert addressed a message to States attending the nineteenth session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP19) and the ninth session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP9), held in Warsaw from 11 to 23 November 2013. She encouraged them to ground their discussions on the principle of international solidarity and echoed calls for United Nations talks not to stall over the issue of compensation for the effects of climate change. She stated that time was too short and the consequences too great to risk those negotiations being caught up in entrenched political positions and economic self-interest. She stressed that the Warsaw Conference was the moment for genuine collaboration among States to establish safeguards for minimizing the adverse effects of climate change on the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all peoples, especially those in the most vulnerable countries. 4. International Human Solidarity Day 22. The Independent Expert issued a statement to mark International Human Solidarity Day, celebrated every year on 20 December in recognition of the imperative to come together as one human family to address the contemporary global challenges confronting all peoples and countries, and unify in peace to preserve and save our planet not only for ourselves but also for future generations. The Independent Expert noted that many global challenges and mass human rights violations, including global poverty, have persisted because of the pervasive gaps that exist in communities, between countries, and in international policy frameworks, and which allow the world’s most vulnerable people to fall through the cracks. International solidarity is the bridge across those gaps in understanding, action and accountability. She stressed that the post-2015 development agenda was an opportunity to close the gaps that persist, and create a global development framework based on a genuine global partnership between States with human rights at its heart. She urged all stakeholders currently building the agenda to be true to their promises in the Millennium Declaration, to hold up solidarity and shared responsibility as the “fundamental values … essential to international relations in the twenty-first century” and to anchor the next global development agenda in international solidarity.
