[DOC] NHRI actions in the field of business and human rights: Update on steps to implement the 2010 Edinburgh Declaration

This briefing has been developed to provide an indication of measures taken by NHRIs since 2010 towards fulfilling their Paris Principles mandate on business and human rights. The briefing describes in turn actions taken by NHRIs from each of the ICC’s four geographical regions: Africa, the Asia-Pacific, the Americas and Europe. First, actions of individual NHRIs are described and then NHRIs’ collective actions at regional level. Finally, a summary is provided of the actions of NHRIs at global level via the ICC Working Group on Business and Human Rights.
