[PDF] Letter to UN Special Representative on business & human rights John Ruggie regarding human rights impact assessments & non-financial reporting
We hope that there will be a consensus around the critical importance of using HRIAs [human rights impact assessments]... We strongly encourage that your final report recommends that HRIAs become a standard tool and process across the full range of industries – based on international human rights norms and developed in dialogue with appropriate stakeholders... [We] believe that highlighting the cross-sectoral importance of human rights risk assessments can be one of the significant, tangible, and enduring outcomes of your mandate.
