A/72/171 international processes. It should also seek to build the capacity of those who have traditionally been excluded from political and development processes, to enable them to participate in those processes and gain access to social benefits without discrimination. 57. Preventive solidarity includes a vision of shared technological endeavours aimed at finding a common solution to common problems and of enabling each State to fulfil its human rights obligations. The human rights -based approach to international cooperation contained in the draft declaration includes technological exchange in collective action to address poverty, hunger, preventable deaths and other global challenges that are also a part of the 2030 Agenda, a recognition of the need to build the capacities of both developing countries and traditionally marginalized groups and a call for structures of global governance that enable the capacity of all countries to defend human rights at the glob al level (ibid., art. 2). 4. Trade 58. The next set of targets, 17.10 to 17.12, deals with trade. The targets emphasize the need for a universal and equitable multilateral trading system, increasing the exports of developing countries, and the realization of market access for least developed countries. 59. Human rights advocates have long sought to call attention to the democratic deficits in the international trade regime and have questioned whether this regime is ideally designed to enable the realization of human rights. 8 They have noted the manner in which economic power dictates negotiating strength, both inside and outside the World Trade Organization, and the challenges created when developing countries lack the capacity to participate equally in trade negotiations. They have questioned the primacy of economics in our understanding of development and have emphasized that gains from trade must be measured in terms of capacity for individual self-realization, rather than aggregate economic growth. 60. The right to international solidarity again emphasizes that international action with respect to trade must apply a human-rights based approach. That is the only way to ensure that benefits from trade are distributed in a manner consistent with human rights principles and that leads to poverty alleviation and development that is truly sustainable. In an era that has seen a backlash against gl obalization spreading around the world, the draft declaration provides an alternative vision of positive engagement in the global community. 5. Systemic issues 61. The final set of targets under Goal 17 is directed at systemic issues, including policy coordination and coherence, respect for policy space, multi -stakeholder partnerships and data, monitoring and accountability. 62. Maintaining policy coherence for sustainable development should have the goal of ensuring that economic and political mechanisms and institutions are in line with human rights standards. The international community should act, directed by the considerations and principles set out throughout the present section, to ensure coherence between the international legal regimes for trade, finance, investment and governance and the norms and standards for labour, the environment, human rights, equality and sustainability. 63. In the 2030 Agenda, the General Assembly recognized the need for international financial institutions to support the policy space of each country, in __________________ 8 17-12217 See, for example, E/CN.4/2005/41, sect.
