A/72/139 with target 8.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals. Alliance 8.7 aims to bring together a range of stakeholders, including Governments, the United Nations, the business sector and civil society to accelerate action on target 8.7, conduct research and share knowledge, drive innovation and increase and leverage resources. The Alliance has only recently been set up, but the Special Rapporteur intends to continue her engagement with it and encourages all relevant stakeholders to do likewise and support its work. The Special Rapporteur is also aware of other multi-stakeholder alliances to support the implementation of the Goals, such as the Global Partnership to End Violence against Children, the goal of which is to implement target 16.2 of the Sustainable Development Goals. Such initiatives have a significant role to play in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. There is, however, a concern that the way that such initiatives are emerging in response to specific targets could create fragmentation in the implementation efforts and allow for cherry-picking of Goals. III. Conclusions and recommendations A. Achieving human rights-based sustainable development and eradicating all forms of contemporary slavery 56. Ending all forms of contemporary forms of slavery and achieving target 8.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals require a multifaceted approach, including the development of comprehensive national responses to contemporary forms of slavery, which should combine the effective rule of law, comprehensive national legal frameworks, robust institutional and policy frameworks, the prohibition and elimination of discrimination, effective child protection, strong labour market protection and regulation, effective oversight of the business sector and full and equitable access to justice. 57. In order for national approaches to slavery eradication to be effective, they must also be rooted in the successful achievement of sustainable development based upon universal respect for human rights norms and principles. While national legislative and policy measures to end contemporary forms of slavery are very important, they will not be effective in eradicating all contemporary forms of slavery if the systemic, structural and glob al socioeconomic trends that enable its widespread prevalence are not addressed. Ending contemporary forms of slavery is therefore an integral part of the broader struggle to combat poverty, underdevelopment and gender inequality and achieve human rights-based development and justice for all. 58. Advancement towards the full and effective implementation of human rights-based sustainable development does not necessarily require a reversal of globalization. Increasing global integration has the potential to support efforts to ensure the full eradication of all forms of contemporary slavery and such advancement. However, fundamental shifts in the way that Governments regulate the processes that contribute to globalization are needed to counter the negative socioeconomic trends and make progress towards these goals. These shifts must be towards a model of global governance based upon equality, freedom from poverty, effective access to decent work, gender parity, and, above all else, respect for the fundamental human rights of all citizens. 18/21 17-11988
