A/HRC/25/50 12. Lastly, it is worth recalling as the independent expert on structural adjustment policies observed more than a decade ago, no single institution has a monopoly on how to establish a just and sustainable world order. 13. The link between sovereign debt and human rights is clear: excessive debt burdens reduce the maximum resources available to States for the fulfilment of human rights, particularly economic, social and cultural rights, and to establish and strengthen the institutions that promotes and protects civil and political rights. 14. The independent expert calls upon all Member States to support the work of the mandate to ensure that it can make an effective contribution to finding a lasting and just solution to a problem which has plagued developing countries for decades and now also affects developed countries. This would be in line with the obligations set out in General Assembly resolution 60/251. IV. Support and resources 15. Inadequate funding and staffing support remain a key challenge for all the special procedures of the Human Rights Council, but more particularly for those mandates that do not receive any extrabudgetary resources, including the mandate of this independent expert. In addition, the funding cuts implemented across the United Nations over the last few years have serious implications for the effective and efficient implementation of the special procedures mandates and for the ability of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) to enhance its support to the special procedures. At the same time, the Council has established a number of new mandates to address pressing human rights issues of global concern but without a corresponding increase in resources. This situation has resulted in an increased workload for mandate holders beyond that envisaged when they were appointed. 16. The arrangement where special procedures are expected to do their work outside their normal professional commitments, supported only by a single, often overburdened OHCHR staff member, is neither desirable nor helpful for the effective implementation of the work of the special procedures. 17. The independent expert is grateful for the professional support he has received from OHCHR over the course of his mandate despite the challenges, including lack of resources and staff, which it has and continues to face. However, he also considers that the level of administrative support provided by OHCHR could be improved through more transparency in relation to the relevant policies. For example, there are often issues concerning interpretation of policy provisions on entitlements which are in place to assist mandate holders effectively discharge their mandates. These include issues of travel and reimbursement of expenses. In other cases, there are no policies in writing – a situation which may lead, and has led, to inconsistent application of policies.
