A/69/274 of standards of compliance — reasonableness, progressive realization and maximum available resources — will now be gradually clarified. 77. The Special Rapporteur is interested in building on these significant opportunities at the domestic and international levels. She will identify areas in which support and guidance are needed by Governments, courts, advocates, rights claimants and human rights institutions, with a view to supporting ongoing work at the national and international levels in this regard. 78. To this end, the Special Rapporteur expects to devote a thematic report to the issue of access to justice in relation to the right to housing. In so doing, the Special Rapporteur hopes to: (a) assess and document barriers to acc ess to justice experienced by claimants; (b) consult with government authorities, judges and a broad range of experts on strategic litigation about challenges in ensuring access to justice; and (c) promote research and statistical analysis with a view to p roviding reliable evidence and indicators of compliance. 79. The Special Rapporteur wishes to organize an expert consultation as well as an open public consultation to obtain views and contributions from all relevant stakeholders about these issues. Given their relevance, she wishes to engage particularly with the judiciary and international associations of lawyers and judges. E. Subnational governments 80. As noted above, authority over laws, programmes and services necessary to the implementation of the right to adequate housing is often spread among various levels of government and other actors. During her mandate, the Rapporteur will assess, in the context of the wide range of systems of government, how all levels of government can work effectively together to implement the State’s housing rights obligations. She will also endeavour to provide guidance to enhance the capacity of subnational governments to deal with the components of the right to adequate housing that fall within their authority. 81. The Special Rapporteur will also conduct research into mechanisms that ensure that diverse actors can be held accountable for their role in the implementation of State obligations and that promote effective interaction between national and subnational governments in the realization of the right to adequate housing. 82. The Rapporteur anticipates that her work to clarify the obligations of various levels of government may shed light on practical issues regarding the human rights responsibilities of non-State actors, such as private landlords, construction and real estate companies, and service and utility providers, responsible for assisting States and subnational governments in the provision and management of housing, as well as in the provision of the utilities and services necessary to ensure the quality and habitability of housing. In this regard, she will draw on the work of her predecessors as well as that of other special procedures, such as the thematic report of the Special Rapporteur on the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation on the participation of non-State service providers in water and sanitation service delivery. 24 __________________ 24 18/20 See A/HRC/15/31. 14-58890
