A/HRC/26/28
(f)
Adopt country-by-country reporting standards for all transnational
corporations; in the case of extractive industries, also enforce project-by-project
disclosure standards, such as those embodied in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act and comparable European Union legislation, and apply
them to all extractive industry companies listed on their stock exchanges;
(g)
Adopt a framework that commits it to full disclosure of beneficial
ownership of registered companies through national public registries;
(h)
Include a commitment to align fiscal policy with human rights obligations
as part of the post-2015 sustainable development framework, including by raising
sufficient public revenue in equitable ways, allocating and spending revenue to realize
human rights for all, and strengthening public oversight, transparency, participation
in and accountability over fiscal policy, tackling tax evasion and illicit financial flows.
82. The Special Rapporteur recommends that international economic bodies and
financial institutions, in particular IMF, the European Union, the World Bank, the
European Central Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development:
(a)
Consider human rights obligations and impact when setting conditions
and policies in the area of fiscal policy; in particular, promote progressive rather than
regressive taxation and ensure that all States are granted space to conduct countercyclical fiscal policies;
(b)
Utilize their significant technical capacity to help Governments to
broaden their fiscal space and redistributive capacities in accordance with their
human rights obligations;
(c)
Ensure that, when elaborating policy rankings, loan conditions or
technical advice, these are not in conflict with the human rights obligations of the host
State.
