A/HRC/RES/58/12 6.

Urges States, international financial institutions and the private sector to take urgent measures to alleviate the debt problem and to address the debt sustainability of developing countries, so that more financial resources may be released and used for health, education, sanitation, public services, social protection and the realization of other economic and social rights in the countries affected; 9. Reiterates its view that, in order to find a durable solution to the debt problem and for the consideration of any new debt resolution mechanism, there is a need for a broad political dialogue between creditor and debtor countries and multilateral financial institutions, within the United Nations system, based on the principle of shared interests and responsibilities, as well as the political willingness of all relevant parties; 10. Requests the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to pay more attention to the problem of the debt burden of developing countries, in particular of least developed countries, and especially the social and human rights-related impact of the measures arising from foreign debt, and to provide global analytical and policy strategies in the context of reforms of the international financial architecture; 11.
