" UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights – country visit to Liberia, 31 October to 11 November 2022 – end of mission statement"

... There is much to be done to implement the UNGPs, starting with raising awareness of their existence, and the respective duties and responsibilities of the Government and the business sector. Liberia needs to take strong and timely steps to create an enabling environment for responsible business. It should set an expectation that businesses respect people and the environment, and that this is a precondition to doing business. There needs to be a genuine wish to improve corporate respect for human rights, and a vast amount of action, not least because respect for human rights is also good for business, and for attracting investment by responsible businesses that any country at any stage of development would want to host. The planned NAP provides an opportunity to engage widely and broadly with all stakeholders and this should be seized by all actors.
