A/77/290 to the target or the cultural rights aspects of the target. 61 Thus, there is a gap in the Sustainable Development Goals monitoring framework and a need to devise complementary ways of assessing how cultural rights can enable and underpin the achievement of sustainable development and vice versa. 48. To address this challenge, in 2009, UNESCO developed the Culture for Development Indicator Suite, aimed at documenting the contribution of culture – both as a sector of activities and as a set of values and norms – in terms of providing both economic and non-economic benefits. 62 In 2019, this was further adapted and tailored to the Sustainable Development Goals, as the Thematic Indicators for Culture in the 2030 Agenda. 63 Some countries have used these indicators, which generate facts and figures demonstrating the multidimensional contribution of culture to development and examples of how the indicators can have an impact on national policy. 49. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) methodology for developing human rights indicators 64 can provide support through by using structural, process and outcome indicators to as sess States’ commitments and obligations, the efforts put in place to realize them, and the results achieved, respectively. 65 50. Guidance from human rights treaty bodies can also inform these efforts, although references by treaty bodies to cultural rights in development projects are rare and focused on indigenous peoples. 66 In particular, using the availability, accessibility, acceptability, adaptability and appropriateness conditions (the “necessary conditions for the full realization of the right of ev eryone to take part in cultural life” outlined in the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights general comment No. 21 (2009) on the right of everyone to take part in cultural life) and the data generated by such forms of measurement can improve th e understanding of how cultural rights can support sustainable development and vice versa. approach could inform any post-2030 sustainable development framework, which has the potential and need to rethink the integration of culture and cultural rights in a more holistic manner. 51. Since 2019, the Art Lab for Human Rights and Dialogue, coordinated by UNESCO, has sought to mainstream cultural approaches and processes in humanitarian and development work. This effort will be amplified by a plan on the Arts for dignity, justice and peace, which should aim to integrate arts and culture into all United Nations programmes. 67 Despite the principle of leaving no one behind, the Art Lab network has observed the failure to include the voices of vulnerable people and has recommended projects to include such voices in methodologies, interventions and processes at the cultural policy level. 52. The Special Rapporteur fully endorses the continuous calls of many stakeholders for culture to be given a more important place throughout the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
