A Roadmap for the Next Decade of Business and Human Rights
United Nations
The video "A Roadmap for the Next Decade of Business and Human Rights" discusses the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and their role in promoting responsible business practices. It highlights the progress made in the first decade of UNGPs implementation and acknowledges the challenges that remain.
The video outlines eight action areas for the next decade, focusing on raising ambition, increasing the pace of implementation, and improving coherence. These action areas include using UNGPs as a compass for meeting global challenges, reinforcing the state duty to protect human rights, scaling up business responsibility to respect human rights, and ensuring access to remedy for human rights abuses.
The video emphasises the need for collective action, policy coherence, and a "smart mix" of measures to foster responsible business conduct. It stresses the importance of these efforts in addressing pressing global issues and ensuring that businesses respect and uphold human rights throughout their operations and value chains.
