A/HRC/13/51 attribution of responsibilities among the various actors at both the national and international levels. Pointing to the need to develop and apply indicators to attribute responsibility under the conditions of globalization, she noted that the victims of the recent financial and economic crisis, and injured States, may be entitled to reparation, including guarantees of non-repetition, under international human rights law and general international law. 69. Dr. Salomon drew attention to the point that the poor needed more than improved regulation and strong rhetoric about global solutions, which, among other things, would require an optimal system for the proper integration of socio-economic rights into global policymaking, and a meaningful and expeditious change in the international political economy backed by strong human rights enforcement mechanisms. 70. The Director of 3D – Trade – Human Rights – Equitable Economy, Violette Ruppanner, stressed that international human rights law and international trade, financial and investment law had developed largely in isolation from each other, while the latter had an imminent effect on poverty reduction, including access to food, health and education. Ensuring extraterritorial obligations to respect, protect and fulfil economic, social and cultural rights was an important aspect in the context of international cooperation. Trade agreements were often negotiated in non-transparent and non-participatory ways, contrary to the human rights principles of freedom of information and participation in public affairs. 71. At the third High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness, held in Accra in 2008, developing and donor countries pledged to ensure that their respective development policies and programmes were designed and implemented in ways consistent with their agreed international commitments on gender equality, human rights and environmental sustainability. All States therefore have the obligation to ensure that trade rules and agreements help countries achieve their development objectives and result in poverty alleviation in compliance with their human rights obligations. In particular, the differential effects of trade and trade-related agreements on developing countries and vulnerable groups within these countries must be evaluated. 72. Trade could be conducive to the realization of human rights when rules and evidence-based decision-making processes were put in place, using human rights as internationally recognized standards or benchmarks, as opposed to conditionality, and human rights impact assessments as a possible tool to facilitate policymaking. Impact assessments should draw from human rights normative standards and develop adequate indicators that can be used to assess positive and negative effects of trade rules. 73. The Officer-in-Charge at the Development Partnership Branch at ILO, Tita Prada de Mesa, emphasized the importance of policy coherence and furthering United Nations reform processes, including the “delivering as one” approach to strengthen the effectiveness of international cooperation. In this regard, she referred to some key ILO initiatives, including decent employment as one of the main poverty reduction strategies that support nationally owned developing Decent Work Country Programmes. 74. In the context of recovery from the crisis, ILO launched the Global Jobs Pact, the latest framework of practical policies to accelerate employment creation and jobs recovery, build social protection systems, strengthen respect for international labour standards, facilitate social dialogue and shape fair and sustainable globalization through increased policy coherence and partnerships with other organizations within and outside the United Nations system. 75. In the interactive debate that followed, the representatives of Norway and ATD Quart Monde made statements. It was stressed that all human rights were indivisible, interrelated and interdependent, and it was widely acknowledged that the integration of human rights norms and principles in all efforts to combat poverty would contribute to policy coherence and aid effectiveness.
