E/C.12/1999/10 page 14 Notes 1 The World Declaration on Education for All was adopted by 155 governmental delegations; the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action was adopted by 171 governmental delegations; the Convention on the Rights of the Child has been ratified or acceded to by 191 States parties; the Plan of Action of the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education was adopted by a consensus resolution of the General Assembly (49/184). 2 This approach corresponds with the Committee's analytical framework adopted in relation to the rights to adequate housing and food, as well as the work of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to education. In its General Comment 4, the Committee identified a number of factors which bear upon the right to adequate housing, including “availability”, “affordability”, “accessibility” and “cultural adequacy”. In its General Comment 12, the Committee identified elements of the right to adequate food, such as “availability”, “acceptability” and “accessibility”. In her preliminary report to the Commission on Human Rights, the Special Rapporteur on the right to education sets out “four essential features that primary schools should exhibit, namely availability, accessibility, acceptability and adaptability”, (E/CN.4/1999/49, para. 50). 3 See para. 6. 4 The Declaration defines “basic learning needs” as: “essential learning tools (such as literacy, oral expression, numeracy, and problem solving) and the basic learning content (such as knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes) required by human beings to be able to survive, to develop their full capacities, to live and work in dignity, to participate fully in development, to improve the quality of their lives, to make informed decisions, and to continue learning” (art. 1). 5 Advocacy Kit, Basic Education 1999 (UNICEF), section 1, page 1. 6 See para. 6. 7 See International Standard Classification of Education 1997, UNESCO, para. 52. 8 A view also reflected in the Human Resources Development Convention 1975 (Convention No. 142) and the Social Policy (Basic Aims and Standards) Convention 1962 (Convention No. 117) of the International Labour Organization. 9 See note 8. 10 See para. 6. 11 See para. 15. 12 See para. 6. 13 See para. 9.
