A/72/139 respect. The historic inclusion of this specific target has the potential to ensure resource mobilization to advance slavery eradication efforts and develop normative links between policy dialogues on contemporary forms of slavery and development. 42. Furthermore, that the 2030 Agenda is explicitly grounded in human rights standards and the establishment of the responsibilities of States to respect, protect and promote human rights will increase the ability of the prevailing development framework to respond to the causes and consequences of contemporary forms of slavery. The 2030 Agenda was adopted through General Assembly resolution 70/1, in paragraph 10 of which it is stated: The new Agenda is guided by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, including full respect for international law. It is grounded in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, international human rights treaties, the Millennium Declaration and the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document. It is informed by other instruments such as the Declaration on the Right to Development. 43. In paragraph 18, it is stated that the Agenda is “to be implemented in a manner that is consistent with the rights and obligations of State s under international law.” It was also stated in the preamble that the 2030 Agenda aimed to “realize the human rights of all” and in paragraph 19 emphasis was laid on “the responsibilities of all States … to respect, protect and promote human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction of any kind as to race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, disability or other status”. 44. The stronger commitment to human rights principles and standards outlined in the 2030 Agenda is also reflected in the contents of the Goals and targets. The number of economic, social and cultural issues reflected in the Goals and targets is much larger and less selective, for example, the inclusion of many civil and political rights issues in Goal 16 on peaceful and inclusive societies. Furthermore, the targets more closely reflect corresponding human rights standards. For example, in contrast to the narrow measurement of the Millennium Development G oal on education, discussed above in paragraph 19, Sustainable Development Goal 4, on quality education, is measured using targets and indicators that address issues relating to availability, accessibility, affordability and quality. 45. The 2030 Agenda also builds upon the framework of the Millennium Development Goals in relation to its ability to contribute by making a strong commitment to combating inequalities and discrimination, as reflected in the overall commitment to “leave no one behind”, as well as in the contents of the Goals, with both the inclusion of Goal 5, achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, and Goal 10, reduce inequalities within and among countries. The Sustainable Development Goals also reflect human rights norms and principles in that they are established as indivisible and interconnected throughout resolution 70/1. The resolution also provides protection for vulnerable groups, includin g women and girls, children, persons with disabilities, people living with HIV/AIDS, older persons, indigenous peoples, refugees and internally displaced persons. 46. These developments, in relation to the general ability of the Sustainable Development Goals framework to make a contribution to the universal implementation of human rights, also have the potential to bolster efforts to eradicate contemporary forms of slavery. Conceptualizing the Goals relating to gender equality and education in a human rights-compliant way increases their potential to significantly reduce vulnerability to contemporary forms of slavery. The inclusion of targets related to access to justice within Goal 16, on peace, justice and strong institutions also offers the possibility that the implementation of the Goals 14/21 17-11988
