A/HRC/13/38 and vulnerable, particularly women and children, who suffer and die of hunger, malnutrition and preventable or curable disease; a rise in unemployment; the reduction in access to education and health services; and the current inadequacy of social protection in many countries. 19. As recommended by the Human Rights Council, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights participated in the Conference and called on all stakeholders to prioritize human rights in formulating responses to the crisis. Several special procedures mandate holders issued statements and briefings at the time of the Conference to highlight the impact of the crisis on human rights relevant to their mandates. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food emphasized that, in spite of the current economic meltdown, the continuing global crisis in food prices should not be forgotten and called for greater attention to be paid to the right to food framework. The independent expert on the question of human rights and extreme poverty appealed in a briefing note to the Conference to ensure the right to social security for all people at all times by establishing or strengthening social protection systems, and the independent expert on the effects of foreign debt and other related financial obligations of States on the full enjoyment of human rights made a statement on the difficulties ahead for countries already struggling to meet their human rights obligations and now facing increasingly stringent loan contract conditions (see paragraph 10 above). 20. In the annex to resolution 63/303 on the outcome of the Conference, Member States also supported further development of the comprehensive crisis response of the United Nations development system in support of national development strategies, through a coordinated approach by United Nations funds and programmes, specialized agencies and the international financial institutions at the country level.16 The United Nations system has been promoting such a coordinated approach through the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB). In its communiqué of April 2009 the CEB stated that, “In the face of this unfolding crisis, the multilateral system must deploy all its resources and capacities in a rapid and effective response, while upholding the principles, values and goals to which the international community has committed. Open economies and societies must be defended to avoid the risk of reverting to inward-looking policies, protectionism and even xenophobia. Human rights, democracy, social justice and peace must be preserved.” 21. The CEB then developed a package of nine joint initiatives consisting of: (a) Additional financing for the most vulnerable through advocating and devising a joint World Bank-United Nations system mechanism for the common articulation and implementation of additional financing, including through a proposed vulnerability fund under the World Bank; (b) Improved food security through strengthening programmes to feed the hungry and expanding support to farmers in developing countries; (c) Fighting protectionism, including through the conclusion of the Doha round and strengthening aid for trade initiatives and finance for trade; (d) A green economy initiative for promoting investment in long-term environmental sustainability and putting the world on a climate-friendly path; (e) A global jobs pact for boosting employment, production, investment and aggregate demand, and promoting decent work for all; 16 GE.10-10930 Para. 52 (b). 9
