- The Independent Expert follows and responds closely to the mandate established by resolution 32/2. The post of the Independent Expert is pro bono. Key elements emanating from the mandate can be summarized under five main areas as follows: implementation of international instruments, with identification of good practices and gaps; awareness of the violence and discrimination issue, and linkage with root causes; engagement, consultation and cooperation with States and other stakeholders; identifying multiple, intersecting and aggravated forms of violence and discrimination; and support for international cooperation and related services to assist national efforts. The Independent Expert offered an analysis of those elements in his first report and in the present report will update them with recent developments.
