A/HRC/19/52 urged caution on the language of the sub-criteria, which should be used to measure progress and should not read like a political declaration. Civil-society representatives pointed out the need for references to women and structural discrimination, the need for the current criteria to reflect the core norm adopt more human rights language and focus on the enabling environment for development. 27. The Chairperson-Rapporteur of the Working Group asserted that it was necessary to examine the criteria and sub-criteria elaborated by the task force against the Declaration in order to insure that they remained true to the spirit and intention of the drafters of the Declaration, which was the basic point of reference. 3. Conclusions and recommendations of the task force, in particular with regard to suggestions for further action on the criteria, thematic areas of international cooperation for consideration and mainstreaming the right to development 28. With regard to further action on the criteria, the Chairperson-Rapporteur of the Working Group pointed out that a methodology had to be worked out on the exercise of how to refine the criteria, and also inter-sessional mechanisms that could be proposed for this purpose. The European Union and Japan commented that the Working Group had deprived itself of the task force and expertise, which had hampered its work. Egypt (on behalf of the Non-Alignment Movement) suggested that the Chairperson-Rapporteur could continue work on the criteria and sub-criteria by holding inter-sessional informal consultations with States and group of States and with submissions from other stakeholders. Other participants added that the discussions on the compilations and the criteria were not substantive enough, resulting from a lack of participation by agencies and international organizations and that feedback was also required from task-force members on the compilations and they found merit in extending the mandate of the task force or relying on a group of experts to further refine the criteria. 29. With regard to thematic areas of international cooperation for consideration by the Working Group, the European Union pointed out that the task force report was now out of date in relation to many thematic issues. They requested the Secretariat to provide a list of forthcoming events, conferences and meetings, whose outcome would be relevant to the Working Group, for example the follow-up to the Istanbul Programme of Action. Egypt (on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement) referred to the preliminary views they had submitted in relation to this and reiterated the need for aspects related to international cooperation to be identified, as the items mentioned in the task force report did not fall clearly under the purview of international cooperation. The Secretariat made available a list of forthcoming major United Nations events. 30. With regard to mainstreaming of the right to development, Egypt (on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement) agreed with the gist of the conclusions and recommendations of the task force. However, they proposed an impact assessment in the United Nations system as to how the right to development was incorporated in programmes at the country level and the obstacles caused by existing institutional mandates. The other proposal was to identify and compile right to development-relevant provisions in existing human rights instruments. In relation to the universal periodic review, they felt this was to limit discussion to the national responsibility. In addition, it is a voluntary exercise and that not all States would want to reflect it in their peer reviews. Further elaboration was required to see how it could be incorporated in the universal periodic review A speaker supported the view of the Non-Aligned Movement, adding that right to development should be in included in the work of UNCTAD and at UNCTAD-XIII, to be held in Doha in April 2012. 12
