interests in order to advance the general interest,
Stressing the importance of international cooperation for improving the living
conditions of all in every country, including in particular in developing countries,
Recognizing the need to continue to mutually enrich South-South cooperation, based

cooperation and North-South cooperation, and to further explore complementarities and
synergies between them with the aim of enhancing international cooperation in the field of
human rights,
Determined to take new steps forward in the commitment of the international
community with a view to achieving substantial progress in human rights endeavours by an
increased and sustained effort of international cooperation and solidarity,

voluntary trust fund to facilitate the participation of developing countries, particularly least

universal periodic review voluntary trust fund, in order to provide, in conjunction with
multilateral funding mechanisms, a source of financial and technical assistance to help
States to implement recommendations emanating from the universal periodic review in
consultation with, and with the consent of, the State concerned,
Reaffirming that dialogue among and within religions, cultures and civilizations in
the field of human rights could contribute greatly to the enhancement of international
cooperation in this field,

strengthening constructive cooperation, including through capacity-building and technical
cooperation between States,
