A/HRC/41/44/Add.2 91. Finally, there is a clear disparity in Bonaire when it comes to housing. At various locations around the island there are luxury residential complexes that are often populated by European Dutch people, whereas the outlying neighbourhoods of Kralendijk and Rincon have a preponderance of badly maintained, run-down housing where local islanders live. 92. The Independent Expert was able to see the efforts made by the Krusada Foundation, now an NGO, to prevent the occurrence of social problems affecting youth and other vulnerable persons on the island, as well as in their rehabilitation programmes for persons with addictions and those recently released from imprisonment. VIII. Conclusions and recommendations 93. The Independent Expert commends the Dutch Government and society for having endorsed and demonstrated commitment over the years to the concept and practice of human rights-based international solidarity, in line with their long tradition of human rights and rule of law. 94. Furthermore, the Independent Expert congratulates the Government and all relevant stakeholders for embracing the Paris Agreement, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals to ensure a sustainable approach to their environmental actions, inside and outside the country. He welcomes the environmental and sustainable approach developed by the Government in its policies and strategies in all relevant activity sectors. 95. The policy of the Netherlands to welcome refugees and migrants has been in place for centuries and is noteworthy and appreciated. Coordination with its European partners and efforts towards aiding countries of departure and transit are also to be commended. However, in the context of the rise of xenophobic populist discourses against migrants and refugees in the latest political campaign and the increased success enjoyed by populist political parties in the latest election, the Independent Expert emphasizes that such discourses, especially as they are directed towards refugees and migrants, tend to jeopardize and threaten considerably efforts to advance human rights-based international solidarity. 96. The Independent Expert was impressed by the ability and will of the Government, as well as all the various relevant actors that he met from the civil society, business, social partners and among the people of the Netherlands, to make an effort to rethink the ways of addressing the many global challenges that the world is currently faced with, especially climate change, anti-migrant and refugee policies, social exclusion, etc. The large consensus within society and across the political spectrum on the imperative of practising human rights-based international solidarity witnessed by the Independent Expert during his visit is admirable. However, the Independent Expert would like to stress that these efforts at the expression of human rights-based solidarity should also extend in a more ample way to all the different parts of the Kingdom, including the Caribbean islands that form a part of the Kingdom, be they quasi-autonomous countries or an integral part of the country of the Netherlands. 97. The Independent Expert would like to offer the following recommendations to the Government with a view to further improving and reinforcing its efforts at the enhancement of human rights-based international solidarity. 98. The authorities should continue to strengthen their efforts with regard to the monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals through the implementation of all relevant laws, policies, regulations, plans of actions, programmes and partnership agreements. 99. The Government should sign and/or ratify the different international human rights instruments that it is not yet party to: the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families; the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on a 16
