A/HRC/15/24 requested the Chairperson-Rapporteur of the Working Group to prepare, with assistance from OHCHR, two compilations: of the submissions received from Governments, and of inputs from other stakeholders, respectively. The report of the Working Group on its eleventh session is contained in document A/HRC/15/23. 11. OHCHR supports the work of other subsidiary mechanisms of the Council in addressing, within their mandate, issues pertinent to the right to development. These include the Social Forum, the Advisory Committee, the Forum on Minority Issues, and the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, as well as special procedures. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food in his annual report (A/HRC/13/33/Add.2) drew on the principles underlying the right to development in stressing the need for transparency and accountability in the use of revenues. Further, the independent expert on human rights and international solidarity stated in his annual report (A/HRC/12/27) that “both the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals and the realization of the right to development, essential to the eradication of poverty, require international solidarity and cooperation, especially as envisaged in Millennium Development Goal 8 on the global partnership for development” (para. 32). Detailed information on the activities of these mechanisms is available in their annual reports to the Human Rights Council. 2. Millennium Development Goals and poverty reduction 12. OHCHR continued to promote the integration of all human rights, including the right to development, in national and international efforts towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and poverty reduction. The Declaration on the Right to Development (1986) underscores the duty to cooperate with a view to promoting, encouraging and strengthening universal respect and observance of all human rights without discrimination, as well as to ensuring development and eliminating obstacles to development. In emphasizing both the national and international dimensions of development, the Declaration is eminently relevant to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. 13. In preparation for the High-level Plenary Meeting of the General Assembly in September 2010 to review the progress of the Millennium Development Goals achievements, OHCHR has been engaged in international advocacy and awareness-raising to highlight the centrality of human rights principles and standards in achieving the Goals. As part of this effort, OHCHR, jointly with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights, Harvard University and the Institute for Development Studies of the University of Sussex, convened an international symposium on the Millennium Development Goals and human rights in March 2010 in Cambridge, United States of America. The symposium highlighted several key tenets of the right to development, in particular the need to strengthen accountability at both the national and international levels. 3. Support to regional initiatives and activities on the right to development 14. The OHCHR Regional Office for East Africa, jointly with the African Union Commission and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), held a meeting on “Improved interaction between the universal periodic review, the African Peer Review Mechanism and the right to development” in November 2009, in Arusha, Tanzania. The meeting involved representatives from Member States, United Nations agencies, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, national human rights institutions, the Economic and Social Council, regional economic commissions, African civil society and the human rights community, as well as experts.
