A/HRC/10/26 page 5 distributed fairly, namely, in conformity with the principles of equity and social justice. In this respect, the Government reiterated the full validity of the United Nations Millennium Declaration and the universal values accepted as the foundation of international relations of the twenty-first century, as contained in paragraph 6 of the Declaration. (c) The Government noted with concern that various countries, acting individually or in the framework of collective actions, continue to hinder the debate on the relationship between human rights and international solidarity and on the obligation to cooperate. Moreover, it is even more problematic, based on the principle of the primary responsibility of States, that these countries deny the right of peoples to peace and the need to promote justice and equity in the international arena, which is the necessary means to comply with the duty to promote and protect human rights. Such positions do not observe international law and ignore the spirit of resolution 7/3 of the Human Rights Council, in particular paragraph 2. (d) The State reiterated its unconditional support for activities that promote a constructive debate and aim to enhance genuine international cooperation in the field of human rights. In this context, it welcomed the workshops promoted by OHCHR, as requested by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 8/9, and urged the special procedures of the Council to collaborate with each other in order to promote international cooperation in the field of human rights. It also stressed that the universal periodic review mechanism, which is still being consolidated, should be used to raise specific needs in the field of cooperation, based on State consent. (e) The Government urged States to refrain from adopting measures that could have a negative impact on the enjoyment of human rights in other countries or regions. In this regard, it highlighted the report of the Special Rapporteur on the right to food (A/63/278), in which he stated that “States have ‘international’ obligations, reaching beyond the national territory, in addition to the obligations each State has to its own population. Indeed, under general public international law, States may not disregard the impact of activities under their jurisdiction on other States’ territories.” Lastly, the Government expressed its wish to share with other countries successful experiences in the field of international cooperation.

United Nations Population Fund [Original: English] [11 December 2008] (a) Working in collaboration with international, regional and national stakeholders to promote and protect women’s rights and reproductive rights is a priority for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The promotion and protection of human rights is fundamental to its work, in line with the programme of action adopted at the International Conference on Population and Development, which guides the work of the Fund in its three focus areas: population and development; reproductive health and gender equality; and the empowerment of women and other international human rights instruments, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.
