Encourages Members and observers of the Human Rights Council to use, where relevant, the general debate under agenda item 10 as a platform to share experiences, challenges and information on assistance needed in the implementation of their human rights obligations and voluntary pledges and commitments, including accepted universal periodic review recommendations, as well as their achievements and good practices in the area of technical cooperation in the field of human rights;

Emphasizes that the discussion to promote technical cooperation and capacity-building in the Human Rights Council should be based on consultations with and the consent of the States concerned, and should take into account their needs, as well as the fact that all human rights are universal, indivisible, interdependent and interrelated and aim to make a concrete impact on the ground;

Affirms that technical cooperation should be an inclusive exercise that engages and involves all national stakeholders, including government agencies and civil societies, at all stages;

Reaffirms the need for enhanced voluntary contributions to the relevant United Nations funds to support technical assistance and capacity-building, particularly the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Technical Cooperation in the Field of Human Rights, the Voluntary Fund for participation in the universal periodic review and the Voluntary Trust Fund for Financial and Technical Assistance for the Implementation of the Universal Periodic Review, and encourages States to make contribution to these funds, especially those who have not yet done so;

Welcomes the panel discussion held under agenda item 10 at the twenty-eighth session of the Human Rights Council on the theme “Technical cooperation to support inclusive and participatory development and poverty eradication at the national level”, which underlined the importance of technical cooperation and capacity-building to fill the gaps and support States in overcoming challenges in the implementation of their national development and poverty eradication policies to ensure that such policies are inclusive, participatory and leave no one behind;

Underscores the importance of international, regional and bilateral cooperation and dialogue in the protection of the human rights of all migrants, particularly at a time when both regular and irregular migration flows have increased in the globalized economy and occur in a context of conflicts and continued security concerns, while taking into account the multidimensional character of the migratory phenomenon;

Encourages States, relevant international organizations, intergovernmental bodies, civil society, including non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to continue and to enhance their dialogue with a view to strengthening and making more inclusive public policies aimed at promoting and respecting the human rights of all migrants;

Decides, in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 4 of its resolution 18/18 of 29 September 2011, that the theme for the annual thematic panel discussion under agenda item 10 to be held during its thirty-first session will be “Technical cooperation and capacity-building to promote and protect the rights of all migrants, including women, children, older persons and persons with disabilities”;

Requests the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to prepare a report on the activities undertaken by the Office, other relevant United Nations agencies and, where applicable, regional organizations to support efforts by States to promote and protect the rights of migrants in their national legislation, policies and programmes, and to submit it to the Human Rights Council at its thirty-first session, to serve as a basis for the thematic panel discussion, and to liaise with States, relevant United Nations bodies and agencies, relevant special procedures and other stakeholders, including, where applicable, those involved in technical cooperation projects that demonstrate best practices, constructive engagement and positive impact on the ground with a view to ensuring their participation in the thematic panel discussion.
