A/HRC/23/45 • Gender • Investments and entrepreneurship for sustainable development 38. On the sidelines of the CELAC-EU summit, the Summit of the Peoples of Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe was held in Santiago de Chile from 25 to 27 January 2013 on the theme ―For social justice, international solidarity and sovereignty of the peoples‖.11 The Summit of the Peoples declaration contained a strong call for government leaders to take into account their requests for social and environmental justice, solidarity and unity among the peoples of Latin America and Europe, the defence of their sovereignty and the rejection of the commercialization of nature and of life. V. Conclusion 39. The Independent Expert had originally committed to present a preliminary text for the draft declaration on the right of peoples and individuals to international solidarity to the Human Rights Council at its twenty-fourth session. However, the cycle for reporting and interactive dialogue for special procedures was modified during the latter part of the twenty-first session; as a consequence, the Independent Expert is now scheduled to report to the Council at its twenty-third session. In effect, the reporting cycle for the Independent Expert has been advanced by three months. 40. Currently, the Independent Expert is continuing to consolidate information and research materials, closing data gaps where required, in the process of preparing a preliminary text. She expects to complete this text by August 2013. A note verbale containing the preliminary text of the draft declaration will then be transmitted to the State delegations of the Council, with a view to eliciting comments and inputs. 41. The Independent Expert will follow her work plan and continue her consultations with States, meeting with them on a face-to-face basis as far as possible, in addition to taking into account their written comments and suggestions on the preliminary text; engage with civil society organizations and other stakeholders to solicit their views and inputs; conduct country study visits to seek best practices of international solidarity; and report on what has been achieved with regard to the mandate of human rights and international solidarity towards a draft declaration on the right of peoples and individuals to international solidarity. 11 14 See http://cumbrechile2013.org/cumbre-de-los-pueblos-de-america-latina-el-caribe-y-europa/.
