economists and human rights professionals would improve understanding on both sides of how the two disciplines can complement each other in the quest for human rights-consistent mobilisation of resources. It is through a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach that the complexities of these challenges can be addressed. Human rights monitoring bodies should overcome their legalistic tendencies and collaborate more closely with other specialists, such as economists, tax specialists, political scientists, journalists and sociologists. By providing a systemic review of the contemporary interpretation of the obligation to mobilise resources undertaken by special procedures and treaty bodies, the report has sought to assist them in identifying the areas that might be usefully clarified in the future. The fact that the report has examined the work of a significant number of treaty bodies and special procedures should also assist individual mandate-holders and treaty body members to assess and better understand the developments undertaken by their peers. Similarly, the study should inform the work of legal practitioners and civil society organisations charged with monitoring, counselling or litigating functions in the area of resource mobilisation. More generally, this study should be a useful resource to implement the 2030 Agenda, which calls for further attention to the human rights obligation to mobilise resources. Finally, in times when human rights realisation must take place in an economic and political context that is not necessarily conducive to domestic resource or development financing mobilisation, the progress made regarding the obligation to mobilise resources should further inspire human rights monitoring bodies, academia, legal practitioners and others to give greater attention to the question of costs for the realisation of human rights. 86 The Obligation to Mobilise Resources: Bridging Human Rights, Sustainable Development Goals, and Economic and Fiscal Policies   December 2017
