A/HRC/RES/30/28
Recognizing that achieving the internationally agreed development goals, including
the Millennium Development Goals and the sustainable development goals, requires
effective policy coherence and coordination,
Recognizing also that extreme poverty and hunger are one of the greatest global
threats and require the collective commitment of the international community for its
eradication, and therefore calling upon the international community to contribute towards
achieving that goal in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals,
Underlining the imperative need for raising awareness of the progress made, still
existing difficulties and accelerating action towards the achievement of the unmet
Millennium Development Goals and the transition to the Sustainable Development Goals,
Emphasizing that all human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the right to
development, are universal, indivisible, interdependent and interrelated,
Underlining that the successful implementation of the sustainable development
goals will require the strengthening of a new, more equitable and sustainable national and
international order, as well as the promotion and protection of all human rights and
fundamental freedoms,
Emphasizing that the right to development should be central to the implementation
of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,
Taking note of the commitment declared by a number of United Nations specialized
agencies, funds and programmes and other international organizations to make the right to
development a reality for all, and in this regard urging all relevant bodies of the United
Nations system and other international organizations to mainstream the right to
development into their objectives, policies, programmes and operational activities, as well
as into development and development-related processes, including the follow-up to the
Fourth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries,
Stressing the primary responsibility of States for the creation of national and
international conditions favourable to the realization of the right to development,
Recognizing that Member States should cooperate with each other in ensuring
development and eliminating lasting obstacles to development, that the international
community should promote effective international cooperation, in particular a global
partnership for development, for the realization of the right to development and the
elimination of obstacles to development, and that lasting progress towards the
implementation of the right to development requires effective development policies at the
national level as well as equitable economic relations and a favourable economic
environment at the international level,
Encouraging all Member States to constructively engage in the discussions for the
full implementation of the Declaration on the Right to Development with a view to
overcoming the existing political impasse within the Working Group on the Right to
Development,
Recalling that the thirtieth anniversary of the Declaration on the Right to
Development presents a unique opportunity for the international community to demonstrate
and reiterate its unequivocal commitment to the right to development, recognizing the high
profile it deserves, and redoubling its efforts to implement this right,
Stressing that, in General Assembly resolution 48/141 of 20 December 1993, the
Assembly decided that the responsibility of the United Nations High Commissioner for
Human Rights shall be, among others, to promote and protect the realization of the right to
development and to enhance support from relevant bodies of the United Nations system for
that purpose,
