A/HRC/26/48 States and that such terms would need to be discussed further. Other delegations noted that the preamble should focus on human rights standards and legal issues, and avoid value judgements. Some delegations expressed the opinion that the preamble should reflect the situation of vulnerability and discrimination that peasants faced, in particular in terms of hunger and poverty, and stressed the key role that peasants played regarding food security, in particular in developing countries, and the benefits that they brought to mankind. 48. A delegation proposed the rewording of the sixth paragraph, on the basis that too many issues that would be better dealt with separately were combined in that paragraph. A number of delegations asked to have an opportunity to submit further comments on the draft declaration before the second session of the working group and pointed out that the preamble gave an impression that peasants and people working in rural areas were a special group completely segregated from the rest of society. A delegation argued that they should be perceived as a part of the whole society, enjoying the same rights as other people. Other delegations noted that reference to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was not appropriate in the preamble. One delegation suggested that the preamble should refer to the right to development and to the Declaration on the Right to Development. One delegation proposed that intersessional informal consultations and work be undertaken. VI. Conclusion of the session 49. At the final meeting of its session, the working group welcomed the participation of the Deputy High Commissioner and of Marcelo Zambrana, on behalf of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, as well as that of a number of independent experts who took part in the panel discussions, and took note of the inputs received from Governments, regional and political groups, civil society, non-governmental organizations and all other relevant stakeholders. VII. Recommendations of the Chairperson-Rapporteur 50. Following the discussions held during the session of the open-ended intergovernmental working group on a United Nations declaration on the rights of peasants and other people working in rural areas, and acknowledging the differences of view on the way forward, the Chairperson-Rapporteur recommended: (a) That a second session of the working group be held in 2014; (b) That informal consultations with Governments, regional groups, intergovernmental organizations, United Nations mechanisms, civil society and representatives of peasants and other people working in rural areas, as well as other relevant stakeholders, be held by the Chairperson-Rapporteur before the second session of the working group; (c) That the Chair be entrusted with the preparation of a new text on the basis of the discussions held during the first session of the working group and on the basis of the informal consultations to be held, to be presented to the working group at its second session for consideration and further discussion. VIII. Adoption of the report 51. At its 9th meeting, the working group adopted the draft report on its first session and decided to entrust the Chairperson-Rapporteur with its finalization. 13
