Background |
|
Project Description: In many countries in Asia, open markets and pro-growth policies have translated into several decades of economic growth and reduced poverty rates. Yet, economic progress has in some contexts, resulted in a large number of human rights abuses along the length of operations and their supply chains. The human rights impacts of these operations—including on land rights, labour rights, women rights and Indigenous People’s rights—are no longer deemed acceptable to a widening number of consumers, shareholders, government authorities, and business leaders. As a means to mitigate the adverse consequences of business impacts, the governments of India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand are actively developing policy responses. The UNDP Asia-Pacific, Business and Human Rights Unit, is playing a central role in promoting the implementation of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) through National Action Plans in the above listed countries. The UNGPs clarify the duty of states and the responsibility of businesses to uphold international norms and treaties on human rights. The UNGPs rest on three pillars: 1) the State’s duty to protect human rights; 2) the corporate responsibility to respect human rights and; 3) the joint responsibility of both the State and businesses sector to provide access to remedy for victims of business-related abuses. UNDP’s regional project on Business and Human Rights, titled “Business and Human Rights in Asia: Promoting Responsible Business Practices through Regional Partnerships”, has the objective of convening a regional partnership architecture, made up of UN system, NHRIs, CSOs, academia and private sector actors working on B&HR, brings greater coherence to awareness raising, technical assistance efforts, while facilitating innovative practices. The Business and Human Rights unit intends to hire an individual consultant to support with the implementation of this objective.
