A/69/273 28. Contributing through a pluralistic debate to create a clearer picture of how sovereign financing affects human rights may offer lenders a more com pelling, sophisticated and complete set of data. Such data can be incorporated into their reasoning and financial decisions. They can then meet human rights standards without being exposed to major legal risks while enhancing political, economic and social conditions for sustainable growth and good businesses. Identifying responsible human rights practices in this field that may contribute to the stability of transactions, as well as improving transparency and predictability, would also be useful. C. Country visits 29. Country visits and interactions with government officials at the national and local levels, national human rights institutions and civil society can serve as a means of assisting Governments in meeting their development goals, implementin g international human rights standards, gathering information to better understand the details of each country’s interactions between finance and human rights, generalizing lessons learned for future proposals, remedying abuses in the public interest and establishing the foundation of an effective civil society. They also offer an opportunity to identify good practices and learn more about how States have dealt with particular human rights challenges relating to the mandate. D. Broad dissemination of information, advice and advocacy 30. Besides the information gathering and conceptual work to be done, the Independent Expert will seek effective ways to disseminate information about mandate-related work and ideas and encourage their discussion. This inclu des using the mandate holder’s website, preparing working papers, submitting thematic reports to the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly and using other agencies’ platforms. 31. The Independent Expert may submit advice covering specific cases or negotiations or present general and specific human rights opinions on debt management, debt relief and debt restructuring or the implementation of adjustment policies. If necessary, or requested, he may comment on draft laws and regulations or raise his concerns through other established working methods of special procedures, such as communications or public statements. E. Concern for particular affected groups 32. The Independent Expert will continue to focus on the impact that debt and adjustment policies have on people living in poverty, women, children, persons with disabilities, indigenous people, migrants, minorities and others. He will analyse how foreign debt and related policy reforms affect members of society differently, in particular those belonging to marginalized groups, and continue to integrate a gender perspective in the work of the mandate holder (see the report of the previous Independent Expert contained in document A/67/304). 10/12 14-58891
