Statement to the Delegations on the Human Rights Council 2011, 17th Session, Agenda Item 3

Print

A group of human rights activists criticized the “Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights” because the document insufficiently addresses the governance gaps created by globalization. These gaps make monitoring and remedying corporate human rights abuses by transnational corporations more difficult. In order to prevent corporate human rights abuses, the organizations recommend specific and binding mechanisms for states to more effectively hold corporations legally responsible.
