United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights

December 27, 2021

The United Nations Guiding Principles (UNGPs) ensure human rights are everyone's business. Comprising 31 principles, the UNGPs are organized under 3 pillars—Protect, Respect and Remedy—which define the duty of States and responsibility of businesses to protect human rights and provide effective access to remedy for business related human rights abuses. Each pillar provides guidance and tools to ensure the protection of human rights within the context of business operations.
