A/HRC/15/WG.2/TF/2 has allowed the task force to work on practical efforts to promote the implementation of the right, without any expectation that the task force pronounce itself on this issue in formulating its suggestions for future work. It therefore does not make a suggestion one way or the other on the elaboration of a treaty. Task force members, in their individual capacity, have been contributing to reflections among legal scholars on this issue.5 Further work on a set of standards and regional consultations could be an opportunity to explore whether and to what extent existing treaty regimes could accommodate right to development issues within their legal and institutional settings, and thereby assist the Working Group in achieving consensus on whether, when and with what scope to proceed further in this matter. B. Thematic areas of international cooperation for consideration 78. The areas covered by the task force and reviewed in the consolidation of findings in addendum 1 relate to the Millennium Development Goals in general, impact assessments, and Goal 8 partnerships in aid, trade, debt, access to medicines and transfer of technology. The task force was particularly attentive to the importance that the Working Group attached to the fight against poverty, hunger and unemployment and the continued need for financial assistance to developing countries (A/HRC/12/28, para. 46 (d)). With reference to that concern, The Non-Aligned Movement explained that it looked forward to the task force providing criteria related to hunger, poverty, unemployment and financial assistance to developing countries.6 The range of issues presented in the list of criteria, sub-criteria, and indicators covers, in the view of the task force, a significant array of aspects of international cooperation not previously covered. 79. In this regard, the Working Group may wish to introduce into the high-level review of progress towards the Millennium Development Goals and other international development goals, scheduled for September 2010, the concerns identified by the task force relating to both congruencies and deficiencies of the goals from the right to development perspective. 80. Should the Working Group wish to focus attention in future on issues not covered to date, the task force suggests that it work within the priority areas defined by the international community as constituting its development agenda. A convenient starting point could be the United Nations Development Agenda, which brings together all of the commitments of world conferences since 1990.7 The topics covered by the agenda are as follows: (a) National development strategies: national ownership of country strategies; integrating economic, social and environmental policy; the enabling framework: peace, good governance and human rights; full and productive employment and decent work for all; economic policies; 5 6 7 18 See Stephen Marks (ed.), Implementing the Right to Development: The Role of International Law, Program on Human Rights in Development of the Harvard School of Public Health and FriedrichEbert Stiftung, Geneva, Switzerland, 2008. For criteria and indicators relating to each of these issues included by the task force in the table of right to development criteria and operational sub-criteria, see A/HRC/15/WG.2/TF/2/Add.2.
