A/HRC/15/WG.2/TF/2 rights, and therefore the national level of implementation should be given more consideration. 69. In response, Ms. Randolph clarified certain issues, and suggested that some comments should be deliberated by the task force and the Working Group. Regarding remarks on the multiplicity of indicators across organizations, she agreed that there could be harmonization. Development is a vast area; and while some argue that there are too many indicators, others claim that several issues remain unaddressed. She clarified that the term “obligation” was used in the normative rather than the legal framework, and that the term “collective rights” was used to address situations where States act collectively within the framework of an international organization. V. Conclusion 70. The conclusions of the task force in relation to its dialogue with institutions concerned with access to essential medicines, technology transfer and debt relief are contained in an addendum to the present report (A/HRC/15/WG.2/TF/2/Add.1), in the context of the consolidation of its findings on all aspects of its mandate. Its conclusions regarding the value of this dialogue for the right to development criteria and corresponding operational sub-criteria are reflected in another addendum (A/HRC/WG.2/TF/2/Add.2). VI. Recommendations 71. As the task force completes the three-phase workplan assigned to it by the Working Group, it wishes to give careful consideration to the request from that body that it outline suggestions for further work, including aspects of international cooperation not covered until then, for the consideration of the Working Group at its eleventh session (A/HRC/12/28, para. 44). In formulating these suggestions, the task force has a single objective in mind, namely, to assist the Working Group in developing effective means and methods of implementing the right to development. The suggestions relate to (a) further action on the criteria; (b) thematic areas of international cooperation for consideration; and (c) mainstreaming the right to development. A. 1. Further action on the criteria Circulation of the criteria for comments 72. The criteria, sub-criteria and indicators have gone through a process of refinement, fed by the lessons learned from their test-pilot application to selected global partnerships and professional research and analysis. The formulation of the criteria has benefited from the comments and suggestions made by the institutional members of the task force, but could be improved by further professional vetting. It is therefore proposed that the criteria list be sent to Governments, relevant international and national agencies responsible for trade and development, academic centres and civil society organizations for their comments and suggestions for improvement, including more recent and relevant data sources. 2. Preparation of a reporting template 73. The application of criteria under any procedure, whether on an ad hoc or a standing basis, cannot be carried out until the enumeration of criteria and indicators 16 GE.10-11443
