Implementing Human Rights Post-2015

Reviewing Funds’, Programmes’ and Agencies’ strategic plans and submissions to and about the Post 2015 agenda, the HRWG was able to examine the breadth of the UN’s human rights aspirations and commitments. On this basis, HRWG Members developed this summary of the UN’s core human rights messages. The HRWG believes that these set out what would be the distinctive character of the UN as it goes about implementing the new development agenda, noting that human rights are not only about “what” the UN does under force of that agenda but are also deeply connected to “how” the UN will implement that agenda and for “whom”.
