Business and human rights

The Committee recommends that the State party fully implement the national action plan to follow up the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and improve the effectiveness of the plan, including by setting measurable goals and concrete timelines. It also recommends that the State party ensure that business entities properly carry out assessments of human rights risks in relation to their operations overseas and strengthen the capacity of the State party, including through its embassies, to assess the human rights risks of their host countries. It further recommends that the State party adopt a legislative framework that stipulates human rights due diligence of business entities; holds business entities under the State party’s jurisdiction accountable for violations of economic, social and cultural rights; and provides for access to remedy in the State party by non-national victims.
