"Submission Specific to Substantive Elements Relating to Access to Judicial Remedy", 1 Sep 2014

We welcome the efforts of the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights in developing draft guidance on the substantive elements to be included in National Action Plans (NAPs) for implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). Based on the research conclusions in The Third Pillar and on the joint report by ICAR and the Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR) regarding the process governments should undergo to develop NAPs on business and human    rights, we offer this submission that focuses on the Working Group’s guidance under heading, Access    to Remedy, to be read jointly with the broader submission of ICAR and DIHR.
