UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights

The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights provide a framework for ensuring that companies respect human rights in their operations. They outline three key pillars: the duty of states to protect human rights, the obligation of businesses to respect those rights, and the need for effective remedies when rights are violated. Essentially, these principles encourage businesses to avoid causing harm, to be aware of their impact on people and communities, and to take responsibility if they do harm. They aim to promote accountability and sustainable practices in the corporate world.
