United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights

The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) are a 31-principle framework implementing the UN's "Protect, Respect and Remedy" framework on business and human rights. Developed by John Ruggie, these Guiding Principles provide the first global standard for preventing and addressing human rights impacts linked to business activity, and were endorsed by the UN Human Rights Council in 2011. The UNGPs comprise three pillars outlining how states and businesses should implement the framework, and have received wide support from states, civil society, and the private sector.learn more on wikipedia
