A/72/171 B. International solidarity for a revitalized global partnership for sustainable development 39. In May 2013, the High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda submitted to the Secretary-General its report, entitled A New Global Partnership: Eradicate Poverty and Transform Economies th rough Sustainable Development. 3 In the report, the High-level Panel identified “five big, transformative shifts” necessary to the achievement of a new global development agenda, describing the fifth, to “forge a new global partnership”, as “the most important transformative shift … towards a new spirit of solidarity, cooperation and mutual accountability that must underpin the post-2015 agenda”. 40. In the same report, the High-level Panel reiterated its vision, contained in the communiqué issued on 28 March 2013, pursuant to its meeting held in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia, of a renewed global partnership “that enables a transformative, people-centred and planet-sensitive development agenda which is realized through the equal partnership of all stakeholders. Such partnership should be based on the principles of equity, sustainability, solidarity, respect for humanity and shared responsibilities, in accordance with respective capabilities.” 4 41. In August 2014, the Open Working Group of the General Assembly on Sustainable Development Goals submitted to the Assembly its report containing its proposed goals (A/68/970 and Corr.1). In the report, the Open Working Group reaffirmed the principles and commitments made in a number of internat ionally agreed documents and the importance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights instruments. The authors cited the outcome document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Assembly resolution 66/288, annex), in which it had been recognized that each country faced specific challenges to achieve sustainable development and reaffirmed that the commitment to strengthening international cooperation to address the persistent challenges related to sustainable development for all, in particular in developing countries. The Open Working Group acknowledged the need of developing countries for additional resources for sustainable development, and for the mobilization of resources from a variety of sources. 42. In recognition of those needs, the Open Working Group reaffirmed the commitment, also expressed in the above-mentioned outcome document, to reinvigorating the global partnership for sustainable development and proposed that Goal 17 be to strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development. 43. The Goal was ultimately adopted by the General Assembly, in its resolution 70/1, as part of the 2030 Agenda, with targets relating to finance, technology, capacity-building, trade and systemic issues, the last-mentioned including policy and institutional coherence, multi-stakeholder partnerships and data, monitoring and accountability. 1. Global partnership for sustainable development 44. In the 2030 Agenda, it was recognized that the global partnership, to ensure its implementation, must work in a spirit of global solidarity, especially solidarity with the poorest and with people in vulnerable situations (General Assembly resolution 70/1, para. 39). The draft declaration is the formal embodiment of that spirit, giving it substance in a manner consistent with international human rights standards. __________________ 3 4 8/13 United Nations publication, Sales No. E.13.I.10.
