The update of the UK’s National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights was published on the 12 May 2016 and reflects the broad range of activity and engagement which takes place across a large number of government departments. This update reaffirms the UK’s commitment to the implementation of the United Nations Guiding Principles (UNGP) on Business and Human Rights, and acknowledges the duty of government but also sets out our expectation that UK businesses will act responsibly and in accordance with the UNGPs, wherever they operate.
