Empresas y Derechos Humanos: del Derecho Internacional a los planes nacionales
Description
The approval of the United Nations Guiding Principles has given rise to the development of numerous legislative initiatives, actions and action plans, both at the national and European levels, which have progressively incorporated the concept of due diligence aimed at measuring and preventing impacts. of business activities on Human Rights; with the objective of incorporating respect for Human Rights in business conduct for all companies regardless of where they carry out their activities.
In this direction, the National Plans are aimed at converting the commitment acquired by the States in order to protect Human Rights into real and effective compliance, establishing concrete actions, which should be direct and constructive.
Currently, 13 States of the European Union have National Plans: Spain. Ireland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy, Slovenia, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, Sweden and Finland. Portugal has started the process, but has not yet approved it. In addition to the European countries, the United Kingdom, Norway and Switzerland have National Business and Human Rights Plans. Ukraine had a plan before the War.
The Spanish State approved its Plan in 2017, which ended in 2020. and is now awaiting the Draft Due Diligence Directive to begin the Work of its Second Plan.
In addition, it is very important to take into account the legislative and regulatory context made up of the Action Plans and Measures for the protection of Human Rights at the level of the Member States, the role of the EU must be taken into account insofar as the European initiatives in general and the Proposed Directive in particular should serve as a roadmap.
In this context, Globernance has prepared the draft of the Basque Business and Human Rights Plan on behalf of the Department of Peace, Memory and Justice of the Basque Government. The perspective that has marked the development of the work is twofold and is subject to both increasing the role of the company as a social agent, taking into account the impact or potential impact that its activities have on Human Rights in the environment in which it operates. They develop from an ad intra perspective at all levels (social, environmental...), as well as, on the other hand, at an ad extra level taking into account the potential impact that the foreign activity of Basque companies has.
In this way, it is important that the measures that the Plan will adopt are aimed at promoting and encouraging the role of the company both outside and within the Basque Country and, therefore, at promoting behavior that respects Human Rights as a business policy with regardless of where business activities are carried out.
