UN High Commissioner for Human Rights' submission highlights specific linkages between its Accountability & Remedy Project work & language of revised draft of proposed binding treaty

"Improving Accountability and Access to Remedy for Business and Human Rights Abuses: A submission from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) on the Revised Draft of the legally binding instrument to regulate, in international human rights law, the activities of transnational corporations and other business enterprises", 8 Oct 2019

...The OHCHR’s Accountability and Remedy Project work has uncovered information and insights of relevance to a number of areas addressed in the Revised Draft. The purpose of this note has been to draw attention to the various ways in which OHCHR’s ongoing work in this area – which has been both mandated and welcomed by the Human Rights Council – can be drawn upon by the members of the OEIGWG to develop and strengthen the existing draft provisions.
