A/HRC/29/39 relating to financial obstacles to legal claims cannot be divorced entirely from wider questions about the structure and efficiency of civil redress systems. This is because there are many aspects of civil procedure and legal principle, covered in other work streams of the project (see sect. II.A),that will have implications for the legal costs and levels of financial risk faced by claimants. 46. While this potentially raises many more issues than the accountability and remedy project can realistically cover, OHCHR recognizes the importance of efficiency and costreduction measures as part of an overarching strategy to address financial obstacles to legal claims. Therefore, OHCHR will be gathering information and feedback on domestic initiatives to improve the efficiency and functioning of judicial mechanisms specifically in the context of cases concerning business-related human rights abuses, in addition to information relating to different funding options. The information sought includes information about how judicial mechanisms are presently making use of, or considering making use of, technological and other advances to streamline and simplify judicial processes. IV. Concluding observations 47. In recognition of the need for a greater international focus on the issue of access to remedy in cases of business-related human rights impacts, and in response to Human Rights Council resolution 26/22, OHCHR has launched the accountability and remedy project. The project aims to contribute to making domestic legal responses fairer, more accessible and more effective for victims of business-related human rights abuses, particularly in cases of severe abuse. In accordance with its mandate from the Council, OHCHR will present the conclusions and findings arising from the project in a final report for consideration by the Council at its thirty-second session. The present report contains an overview of the scope, aims and progress of the project. 48. Much of the information for the accountability and remedy project will be gathered through two overarching processes: a global online consultation, which takes the form of a global online survey, and a detailed comparative process, which is a more focused in-depth research process into 25 focus jurisdictions. The global online consultation will be open until 1 August 2015 and can be accessed through the OHCHR website. OHCHR encourages all States to complete the survey in order to help ensure that the project findings will have the broadest possible research basis and that the eventual findings and outputs are appropriate to a wide range of jurisdictions. OHCHR also encourages all other relevant stakeholders, including lawyers, academic researchers, trade union representatives, civil society organizations, stakeholders, businesses and business organizations and others to complete the survey. 49. An online information hub has been established for the accountability and remedy project through a dedicated portal hosted by the Business and Human Rights Resources Centre.8 This website and the OHCHR website contain essential information about the project that will be updated as progress is made. 50. The findings of the preparatory work carried out under project component 2 (see paras. 33-40) will be used to help inform preparations for, and give practical context to, interactive workshop discussions on the cross-border regulatory and 8 See http://business-humanrights.org/en/ohchr-launches-%E2%80%9Caccountability-and-remedyproject%E2%80%9D. 15
