A/HRC/29/35 I. Introduction 1. In its resolution 26/6, adopted at its twenty-sixth session, the Human Rights Council, decided to extend the mandate of the Independent Expert on human rights and international solidarity, and noted with appreciation the proposed draft declaration on the right of peoples and individuals to international solidarity set out in the annex to her report (A/HRC/26/34). The Council also decided that, in order to obtain input from as many Member States as possible on the proposed draft declaration, the Independent Expert should convene regional consultations and/or workshops, and requested the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner to assist her in organizing those gatherings. In the same resolution, the Council also requested the Independent Expert to consolidate and consider the output from all the regional consultations; to submit to it, at its thirty-second session, a report on those consultations; and to submit to the Council and the General Assembly, before the end of her second term, a revised draft declaration. 2. In her report to the General Assembly at its 69th session (A/69/366), the Independent Expert explored the application of the provisions of the proposed draft declaration to the illustrative goals recommended by the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda, together with the sustainable development goals proposed by the Open Working Group of the General Assembly on Sustainable Development Goals. Her brief analysis was written with a view to contributing to the current process of formulating the future sustainable development goals to ensure that they are consistent with universal human rights standards, focusing on the value added to the goals when they are defined and informed by the right to international solidarity. A. Activities undertaken during the reporting period 3. Pursuant to other requests reiterated by the Council in its resolution 26/6, the Independent Expert has continued to pursue her mandated activities. They include participation in relevant international forums and major events with a view to promoting the importance of human rights and international solidarity, particularly in the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals and the United Nations development agenda beyond 2015. The Independent Expert closely followed and actively participated in activities and initiatives relating to the post-2015 development process, including those relating to climate change, in various conferences and consultations at the international and regional levels. 4. In August 2014, she was invited to speak in the session entitled “Accountability and a renewed global partnership” during the Asia-Pacific Regional Consultation on Accountability for the Post-2015 Development Agenda, held at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok. The expected output of the consultation was a set of recommendations on how global partnerships could be made more effective and accountable, and how such partnerships could benefit from regional platforms. During the discussions, the Independent Expert stressed that effective global partnerships in the context of the post-2015 development agenda should be grounded in human rights standards and that States’ human rights accountability was already set forth in the international human rights treaties that they had ratified. 5. The Independent Expert also had an opportunity to highlight once again the need to integrate human rights throughout the sustainable development processes and outcomes when she was invited by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific to speak as a panellist at the Expert Group Meeting on Macroeconomic Prospects, Policy Challenges and Sustainable Development in Asia-Pacific, held in December 2014 in Bangkok.
