[PDF] "Next steps in business and human rights": Remarks by Prof. John G. Ruggie, UN Special Representative for business & human rights, Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, London

...The international community is still in the early stages of adapting the human rights regime to provide more effective protection to individuals and communities against corporate-related human rights harm. There is no single silver bullet solution to the many challenges in the business and human rights domain. Instead, all social actors — states, businesses, and civil society — must learn to do many things differently. But those things must cohere and become cumulative, if they are to make a difference. That is what the “protect, respect, and remedy” framework is intended to help achieve.
