A/HRC/35/35 65. In that regard, the Independent Expert recalls that, in the report she presented at the seventy-first session of the General Assembly in 2016, she stated that the validity of a legal argument does not always rest on the nature of its origins, but with the reception it gets from the international community when it is introduced. When States adopt a resolution, they agree in effect on the principles contained in the resolution and may turn them into standard operating procedures, State practice and ultimately, rules of international law, and as such, they will possibly gain the international recognition that cannot be acquired otherwise. That same procedure can be applied to developing the right to international solidarity as an enabling right for the respect, protection and fulfilment of human rights. Our understanding of human rights cannot be perfect and complete from the very start, as exemplified by the international human rights treaties, the enforceability of which did not exist even as they came into force. Human rights can only come into existence as enforceable claims through continuous work and effort by legal and political institutions, human rights mechanisms and most importantly, the experience and practice of States themselves. 66. The Independent Expert also recalls how she came away from the five regional consultations with an even firmer conviction about the feasibility and enforceability of the right to international solidarity as elaborated in the present draft declaration. The regional consultations attested to the fact that many States already have the working institutions and agencies to implement the right to international solidarity. It thus appears that resistance to the idea of a right to international solidarity emanates not from those working on the ground who, by all indications from the five regional consultations and the country visits of the Independent Expert, possess the knowledge and experience to make it work in practice, but from elsewhere. It is also evident from the experiences recounted by national and regional actors that, although it may take a while to surmount some obstacles, the right to international solidarity can be effectively implemented in culturally diverse ways that do not in any way diminish the standards indicated in the draft declaration. Human rights are always a work in progress that can only come into full existence as enforceable claims through the continuous development of their myriad dimensions and the hands-on work being done on the ground by local actors. 67. On every occasion possible, the Independent Expert promotes the position that a declaration on the right to international solidarity would bring significantly closer the formal recognition that the right to international solidarity is a powerful tool in addressing the structural causes of poverty, inequality and other global challenges, including the adverse impact of climate change on human rights. Furthermore, that right is essential in building a global constituency for a just regulation of globalization and more equitable arrangements for trade, investment, finance, aid, foreign debt, technology transfer, intellectual property, migration, labour and the environment. When it is recognized for what it is outside of political rhetoric and considerations, taking full account of that right would be crucial in addressing the impacts of present day global challenges, including the growing refugee and migration crises, the unabated horrors of terrorism and human trafficking. Notably, that right would anchor global partnerships, allowing international commitments to be nurtured and advanced. As such, it would be instrumental to the attainment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. 68. In its resolution 32/9, the Human Rights Council mapped the way forward in the work of the mandate on human rights and international solidarity, as contained in its request for the Independent Expert to undertake thematic research on the importance of international solidarity in realizing the human rights of peoples and individuals, including on impediments to mainstreaming it, to assist States, intergovernmental organizations and civil society to actively engage in promoting the important role of international solidarity in the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, especially in economic, social and climate issues, while paying particular attention to Goal 17 and the related indicators. 14
