Global consultation on the role of NHRIs in facilitating access to remedy for business-related human rights abuses
The UN Working Group on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises, in collaboration with GANHRI and with OHCHR, convened a two-day global consultation on the role of national human rights institutions in facilitating access to remedy for business-related human rights abuses. More than 35 NHRIs gathered in Geneva from all parts of the world.
NHRIs are active in raising public awareness, mediate conflicts, receive and follow-up on complaints, monitor and investigate cases, and make recommendations to the judicial.
As a result of the two-day consultation, GANHRI and the Working Group on Human Rights resolved to deepen their partnership moving forward.
