A/HRC/19/70
environmental justice, accountability and justiciability. Additional means should be
identified to hold national and international actors accountable, and to employ new
instruments or better utilize existing tools for strengthening the justiciability of the
right to development.
63. Efforts are made to utilize the right to development as a normative framework
for policy coherence and systemic integration in international law, by deploying an
array of regulatory mechanisms and instruments while ensuring participation of civil
society as development actors through multi-stakeholder mechanisms.
64. Governments create and support secure, inclusive and innovative avenues and
forms of free, active and meaningful participation and empowerment for development
decision-making. Public budget monitoring was recognized as an important tool to
promote the right to development. Such monitoring would consider key questions,
including participation in development, distribution of its benefits, rights and
freedoms and collection and distribution of public funds.
65. Debates on achievement of MDGs and any post-2015 development vision must
explicitly incorporate multidimensional aspects of the right to development and all
human rights. There is a need to focus on implementing existing human rights
obligations at the core of development agendas.
66. Consideration is given to the proposal of the levy of a financial transaction tax
that would ensure that resources generated are allocated to poverty alleviation and
development.
67. The occasion of Earth Summit 2012 should be seized upon as an opportunity to
focus on the mutually reinforcing pillars of the Rio Declaration on Environment and
Development and the Declaration on the Right to Development and ensure that right
to development is advanced through Rio+20.
68. The Human Rights Council should take the lead in mainstreaming
multidimensional aspects of the right to development and all human rights in the
mandate and programmes of all United Nations bodies and other intergovernmental
organizations; and in making use of the right to development and all human rights as
analytical tools in policymaking.
