A/HRC/38/40 66. The Independent Expert will explore the ways in which international measures and ideas such as the Social Protection Floor Initiative can influence domestic policy to enhance solidarity within and across borders. He would also be interested in further analysing several of these initiatives at the national level that are exemplary of solidarity and in linking these with the principles of international solidarity as set out in the draft declaration. These examples of good practice could play a role in demonstrating international solidarity and serve as models of cooperation for development. They can do so by providing beneficiaries with access to essential social and economic rights. VIII. Conclusion 67. In a world of greatly increased interdependence, with collective problems and challenges that require collective solutions, cooperation between States, founded upon human rights-based international solidarity, is imperative. The Independent Expert believes that such international solidarity must be viewed holistically, as a two-way street, and not merely as a value that flows from the global North to the global South. In this regard, it is worth noting that without human rights-based international solidarity that flows in both directions, no one on our planet, whether based in the global North or the global South, will escape the seriously negative effects of climate change. 68. The Independent Expert also wants to reiterate the critical importance of human rights-based international solidarity to the much fuller realization of all human rights universally, including those that are captured in the Sustainable Development Goals. 69. Furthermore, the Independent Expert intends to continue promoting the draft declaration on the right to international solidarity, throughout the activities of his mandate. 70. The Independent Expert will continue to seek views and contributions from States, United Nations agencies, other relevant international institutions, nongovernmental organizations and other stakeholders, in discharging his mandate. The cooperation of these stakeholders will be crucial to successfully addressing the proposed thematic issues discussed above and in other aspects of his mandate. 71. The Independent Expert looks forward to a successful working relationship with States, civil society and all other relevant stakeholders. 16
