Summary
Pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 15/19, the present report summarizes
the contributions of a multi-stakeholder consultation on the annotated outline of draft
guiding principles on extreme poverty and human rights as elaborated by the Special
Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights. The consultation consisted of written
submissions by permanent missions, national human rights institutions, international
organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and independent experts, as well as
of oral statements made during a two-day meeting in Geneva. The report presents the
consultation‟s outcome in the form of specific commentary on individual sections, subsections and paragraphs of the outline of the draft guiding principles proposed by the
Special Rapporteur with a view to submitting a final draft of the revised guiding principles
to the Council at its twenty-first session, in order to allow the Council to take a decision on
the way forward with a view to the adoption by 2012 of guiding principles on the rights of
persons living in extreme poverty. During the consultations, stakeholders have broadly
endorsed the outline and structure for the draft guiding principles as elaborated by the
Special Rapporteur and the relevance of existing human rights standards and principles for
combating poverty.
