A/HRC/39/31 thinkers — such as Hugo Grotius, Immanuel Kant, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Friedrich Schiller, Victor Hugo, Voltaire and Ortega y Gasset — had subsequently contributed positively in their works to elaborating the right to peace. Furthermore, in the period of the League of Nations, several jurists had written important books on international law in which they had developed the principles and norms of the right to peace. 12. Regarding possible measures to implement the Declaration, Mr. GuillermetFernández recommended that the international community deploy maximum effort and creativity to reach an agreement on the title and article 1 of the Declaration, the only elements upon which consensus had not been reached during the negotiation process. As a positive example, he referred to the unanimous adoption on 28 March 2018 by the InterParliamentary Union of its resolution on “Sustaining peace as a vehicle for achieving sustainable development”, which had recognized the will of the United Nations General Assembly to continue examining the issue of the promotion and protection of the right to peace. 13. Since the Declaration on the Right to Peace focused on persons who suffered in a situation of conflict, Mr. Guillermet-Fernández suggested that the special procedure mandate holders of the Council should elaborate in their respective mandates the multidimensional notion of peace. The role of dialogue, tolerance, mediation, assistance and cooperation in the performance of the different mandates should be reinforced. Furthermore, the Council could request the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) to incorporate the right to peace in its daily activities and undertake activities aimed at strengthening the interconnection between peace, human rights and development. OHCHR could also be requested to provide interinstitutional coordination within the United Nations system, in coordination with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the University for Peace, with respect to the promotion and realization of the three pillars of the United Nations — peace and security, human rights and development. 14. In her presentation, Ms. Brehm addressed the role of States under article 2 of the Declaration, with a particular focus on disarmament as a means of building peace between societies. In over twenty years of work in the field of disarmament and multilateral weapons control, she had not often encountered the terms “right to peace” or “peace”. In a book published in 1967 the idea of real peace in the world and general disarmament had been looked on as utopian,2 and in 2018 it seemed that peace was still not a possibility that disarmament practitioners prepared for. In the sphere of multilateral weapons regulation, non-proliferation, arms control and disarmament the notion of “peace” tended to be confined to the preambles of instruments and declarations of major conferences or to statements made by observers and non-governmental organizations. 15. Ms. Brehm also highlighted that the term “peace” was often accompanied by the term “security”. For example, the Secretary-General had recently expressed hope that the agenda set out in Securing Our Common Future: an Agenda for Disarmament would help set the world on a path towards sustainable peace and security for all. The Agenda for Disarmament itself identified peace and security as the central reasons why the United Nations pursued disarmament. The Agenda described disarmament as a tool for preventing and ending armed conflict; mitigating the impacts of conflict; protecting civilians; upholding the principles of humanity; preventing the easy resumption of hostilities; ensuring and maintaining stability; promoting sustainable development; maintaining or restoring international peace and security; and preserving, securing and sustaining peace. Disarmament measures taken by States to achieve those goals could also contribute to the implementation of article 2 of the Declaration, which enjoined States to respect, implement and promote equality and non-discrimination, justice and the rule of law, and to guarantee freedom from fear and want as a means to build peace within and between societies. 16. With regard to multilateral disarmament and weapons control measures grounded in humanitarian principles, Ms. Brehm noted that the focus of such humanitarian disarmament 2 4 See Leonard C.
