El papel de las instituciones nacionales de derechos humanos en el ámbito de la responsabilidad empresarial

A key participant in the discussion on business and human rights are national human rights institutions. Through their different functions, they may contribute to capacity-building in the public and private sectors, thus allowing them to participate directly in the dissemination and implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Furthermore, in the context of the negotia-tions on a binding treaty in this field, it will be par-ticularly important to consider the role that these institutions may play, in order to actively collaborate in the development of a corporate human rights culture.
