ABSTRACT

This chapter seeks to highlight some emerging issues and key challenges which are shaping the landscape of international human rights. In 2014, the then UN special rapporteur on minority issues, Rita Izsak-Ndiaye, advocated for the inclusion of minority issues in the post-2015 agenda, and the then UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, Francois Crepeau, called for the inclusion of the human rights of migrants. The Goal framework supported the development of national statistical capacity and improved statistical system coordination at the national and international levels. While attention to the issue of mobilisation of resources has been driven mainly by those human rights bodies whose mandates include economic, social and cultural rights, the issue of resource mobilisation is at the core of the realisation of all human rights. The millennium development goals came about as a result of the world summit held by the general assembly to mark the new millennium.
