EFFECTS OF STRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENT POLICIES AND FOREIGN DEBT ON THE FULL ENJOYMENT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, PARTICULARLY ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS :REPORT : ADDENDUM / SUBMITTED BY BERNARDS MUDHO, INDEPENDENT EXPERT ON THE EFFECTS OF STRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENT POLICIES AND FOREIGN DEBT ON THE FULL ENJOYMENT OF ALL HUMAN RIGHTS, PARTICULARLY ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS
Generally, the intention of the Government is to gradually curtail overall spending while
increasing expenditures on social needs. (...) In the years following independence, public resources available for health
care collapsed with the withdrawal of subsidies from Moscow, and public spending on health
steadily declined in relation to GDP. (...) One important dimension that the Government has begun
addressing is to reduce the inequitable allocation of public spending on health. It is encouraging
to note that the health sector reform programme has been expanded to cover large cities such as
Bishkek and Osh where per capita spending on health is as much as two times higher than the
rest of the country.

THE RIGHT TO FOOD :REPORT : ADDENDUM / BY THE SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON THE RIGHT TO FOOD, JEAN ZIEGLER, SUBMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS RESOLUTION 2000/10
The World Bank estimates that only 14 per cent of social
spending goes to the poorest.40 Spending on the programmes that benefit the poorest (bolsa
alimentaçao, etc.) is very low. Most of social spending is on pensions, health, and
unemployment insurance, which are important but still mainly benefit the better-off. Strong
resistance from Brazil’s elite and middle-classes to social spending reform makes it difficult to
reorient social spending towards the poor, perpetuating and deepening existing social
inequalities.

VISIT TO THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND - REPORT OF THE SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON EXTREME POVERTY AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Local authorities cut net spending on services in real terms by 19 per cent from
2010–2011 to 2016–2017 and focused remaining spending on statutorily mandated social
care and child protection services, demand for which has increased.50 The leader of one city
council explained that while being forced to cut preventive services, local governments
have faced increased demands for even costlier crisis interventions. Between 2011–2012
and 2016–2017, cash-strapped local authorities reduced spending on preventive housing
services by £590 million or 46 per cent, but increased crisis spending on housing by £360
million or 58 per cent.51

excludes spending on schools and public health.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXPERT ON THE EFFECTS OF FOREIGN DEBT AND OTHER RELATED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS OF STATES ON THE FULL ENJOYMENT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, PARTICULARLY ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS, JUAN BOHOSLAVSKY - MISSION TO ICELAND
The sharp increase in government spending in 2008, compared to 2007, reflects the
cost of recapitalizing the Central Bank of Iceland and the new, downsized domestic
branches of Icelandic banks (see table 1, Economic affairs). By 2013, overall government
spending had returned roughly to pre-crisis levels. (...) Funds for rental
subsidies and to combat social exclusion were also augmented. Government spending on
disability pensions grew, owing to the increase in beneficiaries.

United States economic outlook: Third quarter of 2021
Economic growth in the United States slowed to 2.1% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2021, from 6.7% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2021. Consumer spending in the third quarter rose at its slowest pace since the recovery began, as durable goods spending fell sharply amid supply shortages and rising inflationary pressures.

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON EXTREME POVERTY AND HUMAN RIGHTS ON HIS MISSION TO SAUDI ARABIA : NOTE / BY THE SECRETARIAT
They reflect a traditional welfare rather
than an empowerment approach and result in significant social spending on the non-
poor (so-called “leakage”). In order to effectively reduce poverty in Saudi Arabia and
to prevent wasteful and unjust spending of social welfare funds on the non-poor,
newly designed social assistance measures should be directed towards the poorest in
Saudi society. (...) According to the authoritative
Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) database, Saudi Arabia spent
13.7 per cent of its GDP on military expenditure in 2015, which equals US$ 2,778 per
capita.27 In meetings with government officials, the Special Rapporteur was told that the
2016 social security budget of Saudi Arabia was around SRI 31 billion, which is only
15 per cent of the SRI 205 billion that Saudi Arabia acknowledges spending on the military
in 2016.28 Independent observers suggest that the figure is actually much higher, and that
social spending is less than 10 per cent of defence spending.29 In a context of vast and
relatively reliable oil revenues, lavish military spending might be seen to be less
problematic. (...) A/HRC/35/26/Add.3

VISIT TO EUROPEAN UNION - REPORT OF THE SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES, GERARD QUINN
A public campaign was initiated to change the
regulations in 2012 to try to ensure that future spending would be focused on building up
community-based services to enable community living.
39. (...) The regulations do not,
on their face, prohibit the spending of funds on institutions – or on trans-institutionalization.
(...) In any event, if European Union additionality is understood to mean genuine
innovation (in spending taxpayers’ money) then there can be no value in spending that money
to reinforce outdated policy solutions.
