The Alchemy of Business and Human Rights (Part III): The Missing Institution

See all tags

The UNGPs set forth the “Protect - Respect - Remedy” Framework: three “Pillars” that reference core principles and also serve to allocate or divvy up responsibility between core stakeholders... Is something missing? I have always thought so. The first two pillars establish a nice subject-object rhythm: X has a duty to advance Y. I’m no MBA, but even I recognize this as sound management practice: immediately upon creating a task, giving someone primary responsibility to complete it... real reform may lag until human rights advocates force some reconsideration of the terms of the BHR deal, which in this case might be a renewed understanding of their role or some other way of addressing the Third Pillar’s almost built-in lack of leadership.
