1. INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND AND AIMS OF THE DOCUMENT

The present document was prepared following the letter of 10 January 2018 from the President of ECOSOC inviting the President of the Human Rights Council to provide substantive inputs to the 2018 High-l Political Forum showcasing the Council’s contribution to the 2030 Agenda in general, and particularly for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and respective targets that are most relevant to its mandate.

WHAT IT IS

This document presents an objective analytical overview of all initiatives and actions undertaken by the Human Rights Council that are directly related to the 2030 Agenda and to the SDGs.

It covers all outcomes of regular sessions of the Human Rights Council that took place after the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in September 2015, namely: the 30th, 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 35th, 36th and 37th regular sessions of the Council.

For the purpose of brevity, the document is accompanied by two annexes containing a summarised version of the data collected as well as analytical graphs that may be useful for further analysis. All information and disaggregated data is available for consultation upon request.

METHODOLOGY

Data for this research was collected by consulting:

- All resolutions, decisions and president’s statements adopted by the Council between

September 2015 and March 2018, excluding the UPR adoptions.

- All reports submitted by the Secretary-General, the High Commissioner for Human

Rights and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) following

a mandated request.

Search keys included direct mentions of the following words: “2030 Agenda for Sustainable

Development”, “post-2015 agenda” and “Sustainable Development Goals”

Mentions were classified by their location either in the title or in the text of the document.

It is important to note that this analysis was carried out exclusively on the basis of official

documents of the Human Rights Council. Other sources emanating from activities, such as

panels, side events, reports of special procedures and other subsidiary bodies such as the

universal periodic review and the Advisory Committee, were not taken into account at this

stage. This selection was intentionally made to ensure the highest possible degree of

objectivity and transparency, and to serve as a useful basis for any future analysis and

initiatives on this matter.

2. FINDINGS

Between September 2015 and April 2018 (time of writing), the Human Rights Council held 8

regular sessions. It adopted a total of 289 texts (including resolutions, decisions and

President’s statements and excluding UPR outcomes decisions) on all of its 10 agenda items.

A total of 119 texts mentioned the 2030 Agenda and/or the SDGs, representing the 41.1% of

the total number of all adopted texts. 8 of those documents specifically referred to the 2030

Agenda in the title (2.8%) and 111 mentioned it in the text (38.4%). Reference to the 2030

Agenda and/or the SDGs was made in 178 preambular and in 141 operative paragraphs of

such resolutions and decisions.

Out of a total of 208 reports by the Secretary-General, the High Commissioner for Human

Rights, and the OHCHR presented at the regular sessions under review, 93 contain specific

mention(s) the 2030 Agenda and/or the SDGs, representing the 44.7% of the overall total.

Session-specific disaggregated data is included in Annexes 1 and 2 of this document.

Although the above-mentioned texts and documents specifically refer to the 2030 Agenda for

Sustainable Development, it is to be noted that, given the established links between human

rights and the Agenda, virtually all activities and outcomes of the Human Rights Council may

be understood as contributing to the overall aim of “leaving no one behind”.
