A/HRC/39/53 80. The Special Rapporteur stresses that the development of the mandate will be undertaken in harmony with the human rights system of which it is part, ensuring cross-fertilization while prioritizing a “pro-persona perspective” as hermeneutical method. 81. Working with all stakeholders in a continuing spirit of open dialogue, the Special Rapporteur commits to provide through his work updated information regarding aspects of each of the four elements of the mandate, including new jurisprudence from relevant international, regional or national entities, and good practices, which he deems important to share. 82. The Special Rapporteur has identified and presents a preliminary outline of the areas of interest that he intends to develop and assess throughout his term as mandate holder. These areas relate to a broad array of issues, such as those at the core of the transitional justice field, cross-cutting questions, and adjacent areas struggling with similar challenges. 83. As an overarching theme, the Special Rapporteur will focus his attention to the fight against impunity and the (re-)establishment of trust as the overarching objectives of transitional justice. He stresses that efforts must be re-directed at increasing the effectiveness of justice procedures, underlining that the concept of justice is not confined to but naturally includes criminal justice. 84. Throughout his mandate, the Special Rapporteur intends to enhance possibilities for sharing experiences and practices at the national and regional levels in relation to the four elements of the mandate, with a human rights-based approach. 85. In his future efforts, in particular in relation to guarantees of non-recurrence, the Special Rapporteur intends to continue to move away from the merely “reactive” approach, centred on institutions, towards a more “pro-active” one, to encompass areas that go beyond those institutions that had directly committed the violations in the first place. In this connection, the Special Rapporteur intends to focus his attention on these broader areas that have preventive potential, especially in the field of formal and informal education. 86. Another key area of engagement relates to the strengthening of the gender perspective in both thematic and country-related work. This will also include a full thematic report in which the Special Rapporteur will thoroughly examine and identify the multi-layered aspects relating to a gender perspective regarding the four elements of the mandate. 87. In relation to non-State actors, the Special Rapporteur intends to concentrate on two issues: first, the impact of armed groups, in particular in weakly institutionalized (post-)conflict settings, and ensuing questions regarding the adequacy of transitional justice mechanisms; and second, an examination of the constructive role that other non-State actors — such as companies (including transnational ones), religious or other faith-based actors, the media and artists — can play to further the goals of transitional justice. 88. In addition, the Special Rapporteur will make efforts to further identify factors relating to the beneficial effects of participation of victims and society at large, looking at both formal and informal ways of participation. He will also consider the intersection of participation and ownership, and related ramifications for transitional justice processes. 89. Regarding development, the Special Rapporteur intends to conduct a practiceoriented study on the aspects of transitional justice that are a precondition to and a by-product of the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, on the basis of the foundational work undertaken by the previous mandate holder. 13
