A/HRC/15/24 development, including through increased engagement, research, advocacy and informational and educational activities. A. Mainstreaming the right to development 6. OHCHR continued to advocate to Member States, United Nations agencies, funds and programmes, regional mechanisms and institutions as well as other stakeholders, that policy decisions and programming at the national, regional and international levels should integrate the constitutive principles of the right to development: equality, equity, nondiscrimination, participation, transparency, accountability and international cooperation. In this regard, OHCHR emphasized the importance and added value of the right to development approach to discussions on fairer globalization, global governance, and human rights mainstreaming, as well as in the relevant work of the United Nations system including, for example, the High-Level Committee on Programmes of the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination. 7. OHCHR advocated that the multidimensional framework of the right to development could shape policies and strategies to deal with the challenges of global governance, especially global economic governance, in an increasingly interdependent world faced with multiple global crises including climate change. OHCHR further emphasized that the right to development can address the human rights implications of globalization, by reinforcing the individual and collective responsibilities of States for the creation of a national and international environment conducive to socially just development and governance. 1. Support to the United Nations human rights mechanisms 8. OHCHR continued to provide substantive and organizational support to the openended Working Group on the Right to Development, established by the Commission on Human Rights through its resolution 1998/72. The Working Group is mandated to monitor and review progress made in the promotion and implementation of the right to development, providing recommendations thereon and further analysing obstacles to its full enjoyment. Considerable support was also provided by OHCHR to the high-level task force on the implementation of the right to development, established by the Commission on Human Rights through its resolution 2004/7 and mandated to provide expertise to the Working Group with regard to the implementation of the right to development. 9. The task force held its sixth session in January 2010 in Geneva. The session focused on the implementation of the recommendations made by the Working Group at its tenth session (A/HRC/12/28, paras. 44-46). The task force adopted conclusions and recommendations, including on policy coherence and striking a balance between national and international responsibilities for the right to development, on future work in thematic areas of international cooperation, further action on the criteria, and on mainstreaming the right to development. The report of the task force on its sixth session is contained in documents A/HRC/15/WG.2/TF/2 and Corr.1, and its two addenda, on the consolidation of findings and on the right to development criteria and operational sub-criteria, in documents A/HRC/15/WG.2/TF/2/Add.1 and Corr.1 and document A/HRC/15/WG.2/TF/2/Add.2, respectively. 10. The Working Group held its eleventh session in April 2010 in Geneva and reviewed the progress made in the implementation of the right to development by considering the report of the task force mentioned above. In its recommendations submitted for endorsement by the Human Rights Council at its meeting in September 2010, the Working Group invited Member States as well as other stakeholders to share their views on the work of the task force (A/HRC/15/WG.2/TF/2, Add.1 and Add.2) and on the way forward.
