A/HRC/37/32 60. National human rights institutions can play an important role in monitoring the right to work. In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Equality and Human Rights Commission is an independent and non-departmental public body that has the power to intervene in court proceedings in human rights and equality cases. The Commission has moreover developed a measurement framework covering six domains, including work. Indicators include earnings, occupational segregation and levels of employment, which overlap with, and help to reinforce, the aims of Sustainable Development Goals 5 (target 5) and 8 (target 5).62 VII. Conclusions 61. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is closely aligned with human rights norms and standards; implementing the Goals and targets applicable to work in accordance with a human rights-based approach will therefore make a significant contribution to the realization of the right to work. In developing and implementing policies designed to give effect to the Sustainable Development Goals, States should respect, protect and fulfil the rights of marginalized and vulnerable individuals, groups and populations as a priority, ensuring that no one is left behind and that the furthest behind are reached first. Empowering the vulnerable, as called for in the Agenda, requires operationalizing the human rights principles of accountability and participation in all institutions, processes and mechanisms charged with following up on the work-related Goals and targets. It is only by mobilizing the political will to advance these commitments, rooted as they are in human rights, that the peoplecentred 2030 Agenda will come into its own. 62 14 See www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/britain-fairer.
