A/HRC/40/3 Organization on promoting social protection floors which seek to ensure that all have access to basic services, including a fair and inclusive globalization; and with the World Health Organization providing technical support on rights-based approaches to health and research on priority issues relating to health and human rights. 107. In terms of public-private partnerships, the question is how to harness private sector investment as part of delivering the transformational 2030 Agenda and at the same time ensure that human rights are not undermined in the process. Human rights are rightly recognized as integral to sustainable development and financing. The Sustainable Development Goals and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda have cemented that new thinking into international commitments. That global consensus must now be fully incorporated into investment laws and policies. The recent report on human rights due diligence, produced by the Working Group on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises shows this new reality clearly. Attracting high-quality long-term investment should be the strategy of any Government to ensure policy coherence, long-term returns and progress towards desired development and well-being. 108. Business, because of its transnational nature, has a unique ability to work across boundaries for human rights and therefore to reverse the tide of many of these challenges. Companies not only have a need to act and a clear benefit from doing so: they have a framework, in the form of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. They also have a timetable, in the form of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Responsible businesses, supported by the rule of law and clear and effectively enforced regulatory frameworks, can generate decent jobs, build equal opportunities, drive essential investment, technologies and innovation, and contribute to domestic revenues available for development. That is mutualism in action – a symbiotic relationship where both sides benefit. 109. New technologies are transforming the world and the work to promote and protect human rights. OHCHR is seeking both to harness digital technology to advance human rights and to respond to the ever-evolving threats posed to human rights by technology. Artificial intelligence and big data raise difficult questions of discrimination, privacy and the right to work. Social media platforms have been used to promote hate speech, stoke violence and skew democratic processes. Those who stand up for human rights around the globe find themselves victims of technologyassisted surveillance and cyberharassment, with women facing particularly pervasive and vicious online attacks. Human rights are an essential foundation for tackling the myriad questions posed by new technologies. OHCHR has an important role working with Governments, the private sector, and civil society to better understand and address the human rights impact of new technologies and to make the most of opportunities presented by technology for the advancement of rights. 110. There are so many positive stories and developments from which to draw hope and inspiration, opportunities to take advantage of and partnerships to be forged. Those stories need to be told better to ensure that the narrative is one of hope and inspiration in the Organization and in multilateralism more generally – inspiring everyone to stand together and to assist each other in building progress on protecting the human rights that sustain development and peace. 111. OHCHR continues to be a global voice for equality and non-discrimination, and all human rights for all. It must be equipped and assisted to respond to both conflict and crisis situations, and emerging global, regional and national challenges, including with respect to ensuring human rights in the digital space, defending civic space, civil society and human rights defenders, and achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. The High Commissioner hopes that Member States and other stakeholders will extend to OHCHR all possible assistance and support to enable it to carry out its mandate effectively in support of Governments and rights holders worldwide. 16
