A/HRC/17/24 link human rights principles and standards to programming in the areas of, inter alia, sexual and reproductive health, gender, and youth. 37. In 2010, OHCHR and WHO strengthened their partnership and increased the areas of mutual collaboration. New areas of cooperation include the Tuberculosis and Human Rights Task Force, co-chaired by WHO and UNAIDS, which OHCHR has joined, and increased focus on non-communicable diseases from a human rights perspective. WHO provided technical inputs and guidance on a number of issues, including social pensions and older persons, the High Commissioner’s report on maternal mortality and morbidity, the report to the Human Rights Council by the Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, which examines the criminalization of same-sex conduct and sexual orientation, sex-work, and HIV transmission (A/HRC/14/20), as well as the Committee on ESCR day of general discussion on sexual and reproductive health. OHCHR has also provided substantive input to WHO’s ongoing work on a Public Health Law Manual, the WHO-led year-long consultations for an Interagency4 Statement on gender-biased sex selection, and several training courses. A number of joint publications were issued, including an information sheet on a human rights-based approach to health, and a document entitled, “Human Rights and Gender Equality in Health Sector Strategies – How to Assess Policy Coherence”, prepared in close collaboration with the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and intended for use primarily by national multi-disciplinary teams of health planners, policy makers and human rights practitioners. 38. OHCHR continued its close partnership with the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and other partners in preparing the Report of the SecretaryGeneral on the promotion and protection of human rights in the context of HIV and AIDS, pursuant to HRC resolution 12/27. The report identified protection gaps and human rights concerns which require programmatic responses in order to reduce HIV infection rates and ensure equitable access to HIV services. It also highlighted the need for community empowerment and meaningful participation in decision-making by people living with HIV and affected populations. On the capacity-development and awareness-raising fronts, a Handbook on HIV/AIDS and Human Rights was rolled out to some 35 national human rights institutions from Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Central and West Africa, in a series of regional workshops organized by the Danish Institute for Human Rights, with co-sponsorship and support of OHCHR, UNAIDS and UNDP. 39. In September 2010, OHCHR and FAO co-organized a panel discussion on the right to food as a side event of the 15th session of the Human Rights Council. The discussion was aimed at raising awareness on the practical implication of the implementation of the right to food at the country level, and sharing tools made available to the relevant stakeholders. 40. Human rights and development have often been pursued in parallel, in a disjointed and sometimes contradictory fashion, contrary to the holistic vision of the 1986 Declaration on the Right to Development, as well as the Millennium Declaration. At the same time, since the establishment of the Universal Periodic Review, there has been greater demand from UNCTs and their national partners for more support to national capacity development. Consequently, and consistent with Member States’ commitments in the 2005 World Summit Outcome and 2010 MDG Summit Outcome, OHCHR has been leading interagency efforts to establish the new United Nations Development Group structure to mainstream human rights in response to the increasing demand for a coherent and coordinated approach to human rights by the United Nations system. Therefore, in coming years, OHCHR, 4 Comprising OHCHR, UNFPA, UNICEF, UN Women and WHO. 11
