59. As the first United Nations rapporteur to visit the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in 21 years,141 and one of the few to have recently visited Ecuador, the Independent Expert is conscious of his responsibilities and limitations. Six years into the mandate, he has learned that governments are not always the “bad guys”. As demonstrated in 13 thematic reports, other players impact on the enjoyment of human rights, including the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, transnational corporations and some lobbies like the military-industrial-financial complex. These actors often wield more influence than States. Moreover, the national and international economic orders are distorted by bilateral investment treaties, free trade agreements, credit rating agencies, vulture funds, boycotts and unilateral coercive measures, which have often resulted in the suffering of billions of individuals. Rapporteurs should focus not only on States and their failures, but also on other actors and the pervasive lack of accountability.
