A/HRC/13/51 it should be universally accessible, particularly for vulnerable groups and individuals, including those who are not part of a State’s formal economy. It should take the form of a social protection floor for all. 90. Social security as a universal right required that States take all necessary measures to provide social security coverage to all, in particular to the most vulnerable. The lack of access to social assistance programmes in the form of grants, access to health care and education for non-citizens, immigrants and residents without legal status had driven many into poverty and exclusion. In order to allow social security to fulfil a minimum standard of inclusiveness, social security programmes should have a core set of benefits that are granted unconditionally. Civil society had an important role to play in raising awareness and advocating more inclusive social security systems. 91. Poverty prevented the realization and enjoyment of human rights. Therefore, poverty eradication must remain a priority for the international community. The poor must be at the centre of public policies, and their participatory rights must be ensured. Poverty eradication programmes and strategies as well as policy responses to the economic crisis should take into account the needs and concerns of the most vulnerable, including persons with disabilities and indigenous people, and those of women and children. B. Recommendations 92. The Human Rights Council is urged to make efforts with a view to concluding the work on draft guiding principles on extreme poverty and human rights, which are crucial in promoting a human rights-based approach to development. 93. Further work should be carried out to improve the conceptual clarity on indicators and their application to measure the impact of programmes and policies to combat poverty among the vulnerable and marginalized and to monitor the progressive realization of economic, social and cultural rights. 94. The human rights obligations of States are not merely national in nature, but also extraterritorial. As such, States and intergovernmental organizations, including the United Nations system, should actively seek out the operationalization of these extraterritorial obligations through the establishment and strengthening of the institutions and mechanisms necessary for this. 95. The Millennium Development Goals Review Summit of 2010 should be used as an opportunity to increase the role of the Council and other human rights mechanisms in ensuring that human rights perspectives are taken fully into account in the subsequent implementation of Millennium Development Goals and the post-2015 agenda. 96. Considering the negative impact that crises have on bilateral and multilateral agreements as well as on ODA, greater emphasis should be placed on adhering to the principles of international assistance, cooperation and solidarity. 97. Reforms and proposals for global economic governance must be dealt with by inclusive mechanisms, such as the General Assembly and other United Nations organs, to ensure the involvement of all stakeholders, particularly developing countries, in decision-making. Human rights principles of transparency, accountability and inclusiveness with due respect for the required policy space for developing countries should underpin these ongoing reforms. 18 GE.09-17229
