"An important objective of my visit is to study the effects of public debt and related policies on the full enjoyment of human rights," Bohoslavsky said.
“I am particularly interested in understanding how human rights standards are integrated into economic policies and examining ongoing reforms and programmes aimed at inclusive growth,"
"I would like to grasp how these measures translate into potential improvements and challenges for the realization of economic, social and cultural rights.”
During his visit, the Independent Expert will pay specific attention to the incorporation of human rights standards in international development financing, microfinance, and efforts deployed to prevent and combat illicit financial flows in the country.
“I look forward to engaging with the authorities of Sri Lanka, civil society, academics, the international community and other relevant stakeholders.”
UN office in Sri Lanka said the Independent Expert will submit a comprehensive report about his visit to the UN Human Rights Council in March 2019.
