A/HRC/33/45 United Nations human rights machinery to ensure the operationalization of the right to development as a priority issue by the drafting of a convention on the right to development. 11. Egypt stated that development should address those in more need, and reaffirmed the need to eliminate all forms of poverty. International cooperation should be aimed at providing a sound and equitable environment. The three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and environmental – should be addressed. The transfer of technology, finance and other priorities also needed to be addressed. There was a need to reform the international financial and trade order to achieve the right to development. Egypt also stated that the right to development was at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. 12. Sri Lanka, aligning itself with the statement by the Non-Aligned Movement, reiterated the main principle of the right to development. The indivisible, interdependent and interconnected nature of human rights meant that the realization of the right to development was critical to achieving all human rights. There had to be a commitment to refine the draft right to development criteria and operational sub-criteria to advance towards an international legally binding instrument on the right to development that would contribute to an enabling international environment for sustainable development. Extreme poverty, climate change and financial crises should be addressed. No one should be left behind. Most of the Sustainable Development Goals were aimed at satisfying the most basic needs. Furthermore, international cooperation, the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development and other issues had to be addressed. The efficiency of the Working Group was a key factor. It should refocus on achieving the right to development as a human right and central to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. 13. India referred to the right to development as a neglected aspect of human rights. It concurred that, with the thirtieth anniversary and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, there was fresh vigour for an idea that had fallen off the global radar. Lasting progress would depend not only on national policies but also on an enabling international environment for development, given the historical injustices endured and the state of undemocratic global governance. These calls had gone unanswered. More needed to be done to advance towards the final destination; hard-won gains should not be wasted, and work should be focused on attaining Sustainable Development Goal 17 and the mainstreaming of the right to development in the activities of United Nations agencies, funds and programmes. Political will and genuine commitment were required to make the right to development a reality; the standards proposed by the Chair-Rapporteur would be a good starting point. 14. Brazil noted that the world had made considerable achievements in recent decades. Progress had, however, been uneven, and too many were still being left behind. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development gave new impetus to the efforts of the international community to realize the right to development. The 2030 Agenda also placed people squarely at the centre of development. Sustainable Development Goal 17 provided new momentum to realize the right to development. The Working Group needed to conclude its unfinished business and move forward in its work, especially in the context of the 2030 Agenda. Brazil appreciated the draft set of standards of the Chair-Rapporteur and the report of the High Commissioner. The Working Group should focus on the objectives of its mandate, as stated by the Commission on Human Rights in its resolution 1998/72. Regardless of the differences and disputes of the past, it encouraged all Member States to move ahead. 15. China pointed out that the right to development was an inalienable human right, a common aspiration of all humanity and its shared values. Although it had a powerful impact on world peace and prosperity, there were impediments to its achievement. These included an international political and economic order that was inequitable and unjust. 6
