A/HRC/29/38 framework; identification of trafficked persons; protection of trafficked persons; prosecution of perpetrators; cooperation with civil society; and international and regional cooperation. She will also provide concrete recommendations to governments and relevant stakeholders on how to tackle the issue of trafficking. As part of her commitment to continuing the work of her predecessors, the Special Rapporteur will also try to follow up on recommendations made in previous reports on countries visited. B. Thematic studies and checklists 73. The Special Rapporteur will endeavour to develop thematic expertise through studies, reports and other tools, in order to make substantial contributions to poorly understood or new areas of concern. The thematic areas will be carefully chosen on the basis of their relative importance and urgency, as well as the capacity of the Special Rapporteur to make a contribution to shaping international standards and promoting awareness in the chosen area. In this regard, some of the themes the Special Rapporteur has already identified as priorities are to be found in section III of the present report. 74. The Special Rapporteur will actively seek to promote normative clarity around trafficking and to help flesh out the substantive content of key rules and obligations where that is required. That work is expected to result in clear anti-trafficking tools and recommendations, checklists, indicators and benchmarks that are based on existing international standards as recognized in the major human rights treaties as well as the specialist trafficking instruments. To that end, the Special Rapporteur intends to convene consultations and expert group meetings and regular exchanges with a variety of stakeholders. C. Consultation and cooperation 75. Trafficking in persons is a critical issue for every country, affecting many different groups and cutting across multiple sectors. The range of current and potential stakeholders is accordingly very wide. The Special Rapporteur believes that trafficking will be fought successfully if all stakeholders work in partnership, across borders and across all parts of society. In that regard, she will work together with governments, national rapporteurs and equivalent mechanisms dealing with trafficking in persons, national human rights institutions, intergovernmental organizations and specialized agencies, to promote cooperation and concerted action at the international, regional and national levels. She will also enhance cooperation with existing regional, subregional and national anti-trafficking mechanisms, including national coordinating bodies, national rapporteurs or equivalent mechanisms and national human rights institutions. 76. In carrying out her mandate, the Special Rapporteur will consult civil society and non-governmental organizations working to combat trafficking, as well as persons and institutions with particular expertise (such as academia and certain professional categories). The Special Rapporteur will continue to consult and partner with a wide range of national and local organizations, especially during her country visits. 77. The Special Rapporteur will also reach out to the private sector, engaging with businesses and employers in particular, to look out for possibilities for public-private partnerships that will address the demand for cheap labour in the private sector, unethical recruitment practices and other practices relating to the elimination of trafficking in supply chains. 19
