• Strengthen the legal standards used to better assess states’ claims of lack of resources when austerity measures have been implemented. • Further clarify the extraterritorial dimension of the obligation to mobilise resources for the realisation of human rights. • Clearly define states’ roles regarding the regulation of the financial sector and emphasise the importance of the rule of law in this context. • Consider the work of academics and practitioners that have further developed and deepened the conceptual frameworks related to resource mobilisation.

Summary: Details current interpretations of the scope and content of MAR obligation by examining the views of UN treaty bodies and special procedures. Analyzes MAR obligation as it relates to resource mobilization in the context of human rights and sustainable development goals (SDGs) established by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with a particular focus on SDG 1, on poverty eradication; SDG 16, on peace and justice; SDG 17, on means of implementation and global partnership. Discusses legal basis and guiding principals behind the MAR obligation, sources of resource mobilization, issues of resource diversion and foregone tax revenue, and details recommendations for addressing resource mobilization moving forward.
