In the present report, the Independent Expert sets out the parameters of a human rights-based approach to recovery from the global economic and financial crises, with a particular focus on the most vulnerable and marginalized groups. She urges States to see recovery from the crises as an opportunity for change, a chance to rectify deeply ingrained poverty and social exclusion, restore social cohesion and lay the foundations for more equitable, sustainable societies. The Independent Expert first identifies the human rights framework that States must comply with when designing recovery.
measures. She notes that, while States have
discretion to adopt policy measures according to their own context, human rights are not
dispensable during times of economic hardship, and States must design and implement
all policies according to their human rights obligations.
The Independent Expert analyses a number of recovery measures from a human
rights perspective, highlighting their potential to threaten the enjoyment of economic,
social and cultural rights. She then recommends
measures that States should consider
taking to facilitate a human rights-based
recovery from the crises. These innovative
measures will assist States in moving as e
ffectively and efficiently as possible towards
the full realization of economic, social and cultural rights. By adopting policies that have
at their heart the realization of human ri
ghts, States can ensure a swifter, more
sustainable and inclusive recovery. |
