IOE - International Organization of Employers : Future Resolution of the UN Human Rights Council on the UN WG for Business & Human Rights

[T]he IOE would like to make the following comments on the future mandate of the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights...1. The UN Working Group on business and human rights has been successful...It is key for the UN Working Group to adopt a constructive and solution-oriented approach because if a confrontational approach were chosen, there is the risk that business would feel disenfranchised from the process...2. The mandate of the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights should be confirmed and prolonged for another three years...The UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights, as well as the supporting unit at the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, need the necessary resources to fulfil their mandate and meet the expectations of stakeholders around the world. This means that the availability of resources needs to be improved. Governments must further commit to support the UN Working Group not only morally, but also financially.
