While the Voluntary Principles on Security & Human Rights have grown over the past ten years to include 7 governments, 18 companies, and 9 NGOs, there has been too little focus on national‐level implementation within the countries that have challenges related to security and human rights....The purpose of this document, which will be public, is to give guidance to those interested in initiating or supporting a national‐level process to implement the VPs...This guidance note has been informed by existing in‐country processes ‐ largely Colombia and Indonesia, as well as experience and insight gathered from participants at a workshop in Bogota in June 2010.
