TL;DR: The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness was adopted in 2005 and reaffirmed in Accra in 2008 at ministerial-level forums convened by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness was adopted in 2005 and reaffirmed in Accra in 2008 at ministerial-level forums convened by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The principles and indicators included in the Paris Declaration frame what OECD calls a “landmark reform” in development cooperation endorsed by leading development practitioners. The Paris Declaration did not emerge from the United Nations or any of its bodies, but given the high level of support that the Declaration has received from the major bilateral donors and the active engagement of key multilateral organizations such as the World Bank and OECD itself in its implementation, it is important to analyse it from the point of view of the right to development.

TL;DR: The Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar (myanmar Mechanism) as mentioned in this paper was created by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in order to support the Universal Periodic Review (UPR).
Abstract: Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR's) Geneva headquarters incorporates the following three divisions: Human Rights Council and Treaty Mechanisms; Thematic Engagement, Special Procedures and Right to Development; and Field Operations and Technical Co-operation. OHCHR offers support and expertise to the UN's human rights monitoring mechanisms, including the Human Rights Council and the Universal Periodic Review (which assesses, cyclically, the human rights situation in all UN member states). In 2021 OHCHR was supporting eight independent investigations that had been authorized by the Human Rights Council. During September the CoI transferred its collected evidence on alleged atrocities perpetrated within Myanmar to a new Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar (the 'Myanmar Mechanism'-authorized by the Human Rights Council in September 2018), which was tasked with preparing files to be the basis of future criminal prosecutions under international law.

TL;DR: The authors argue that the statehood-by-2011 program cannot succeed either as the midwife of independence or as a strategy for Palestinian economic development, due to its inability to deliver sustainable and equitable economic growth worldwide, but also because neoliberal "governance" under occupation, however "good," cannot substitute for the broader struggle for national rights nor ensure the Palestinian right to development.
Abstract: The Palestinian statehood-by-2011 program, framed through neoliberal institution building, redefines and diverts the Palestinian liberation struggle. Focusing on its economic aspects, and in particular the underlying neoliberal thought that goes beyond narrow economic policy applications, this essay argues that the program cannot succeed either as the midwife of independence or as a strategy for Palestinian economic development. Its weaknesses, the authors contend, derive not only from neoliberalism9s inability to deliver sustainable and equitable economic growth worldwide, but also because neoliberal "governance" under occupation, however "good," cannot substitute for the broader struggle for national rights nor ensure the Palestinian right to development.
