BSR Insight | BSR Comments on Draft Human Rights Principles
This week, BSR submitted a commentary on the draft "Guiding Principles for the Implementation of the United Nations 'Protect, Respect, and Remedy' Framework" proposed by Professor John Ruggie, Special Representative to the UN Secretary General for Human Rights and Business.
The principles outline how business and government can implement the "Protect, Respect, and Remedy" Framework, including details on corporate human rights policies, impact assessments, integration of human rights throughout the business, as well as performance measurements and reporting.
Through our global human rights work, we have seen the "Protect, Respect, and Remedy" Framework emerge as the de facto standard for defining corporate responsibility for human rights. We believe that the principles will prove equally valuable and will experience similar uptake from and endorsement by business and government. Companies can submit their own comments on the principles until January 31 here.
