IV. CONCLUSION
14. The Bali Action Points were drafted through informal consultations between member
States in order to reflect agreed conclusions and recommendations on the way forward. The
Action Points acknowledged the value added of thematic discussions as part of the workshops
and recognized the important linkages between human rights and initiatives and policies for the
elimination of extreme poverty. After discussion and some revisions, they were adopted by
consensus on 12 July 2007.
15. It was noted that 2008 will mark the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights, the fifteenth anniversary of the process of regional cooperation for the promotion
and protection of human rights in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as the tenth anniversary of the
Tehran Framework on Regional Technical Cooperation. It was also agreed to hold regular
consultations of member States among Permanent Missions to the United Nations in Geneva in
order to review progress in implementation of these action points and broader activities under the
Regional Framework.
16. The Office was requested to produce a summary of recommendations made since the first
annual workshop and progress made in their implementation; to prepare a directory of resource
materials and resource persons available to assist the implementation of activities under the
Regional Framework; and to prepare a compilation of the outcome documents of the four
subregional workshops for judges and lawyers on the justiciability of economic, social and
cultural rights in order to ensure effective dissemination.
