A/HRC/10/65 page 20 100. Governance indicators should be included in poverty reduction programmes. There is a need to develop indicators for the next Social Forum, which could serve as a point of reference for dialogue and on the basis of which concrete results can be achieved. 101. The private sector is regarded as an enabler of social and economic progress, but it can also have a negative impact on human rights and development. The role of the private sector in poverty eradication should be taken up with more attention and depth by the United Nations. 102. The Council could incorporate into its agenda consideration of the ILO decent work programme. 103. Corruption is considered one of the main causes of poverty and violations of human rights. The Council should make efforts to advance a human rights-based approach to the global fight against corruption. The Council should call on States to abide by international conventions against corruption, such as the United Nations conventions against corruption and the African Union convention on corruption, so that they are transposed into national laws. 104. The Council should call on States to advance work on the draft guiding principles on extreme poverty and human rights and encourage active participation by all stakeholders in related future events. C. Possible themes for the 2009 Social Forum 105. The following themes were proposed by Member States and other participants for consideration by the 2009 Social Forum: (a) National anti-poverty programmes: best practices of States from different regions in implementing social security programmes from a human rights perspective; (b) Accountability mechanisms: in-depth discussion and sharing of experiences and best practices on accountability mechanisms, including through monitoring based on indicators; (c) Discrimination and social exclusion, including the economic, social and cultural rights of persons with disabilities; (d) Participation and empowerment of the poor and best practices at all levels; (e) International assistance and cooperation in combating poverty, including the obligations of international institutions; (f) Armed conflict, foreign occupation and unilateral coercive measures, such as sanctions imposed by certain States in contradiction with the Charter of the United Nations, as causes of poverty and violations of human rights;
