John Ruggie delivers keynote address at launch of Chile's National Action Plan

The launch of Chile’s National Action Plan to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights... marks an important occasion for Chile, and for the business and human rights agenda world-wide... For its first three-year phase, the Plan places heavy emphasis on raising awareness and building capacity... Social dialogue with indigenous communities, particularly in the mining sector, is also stressed... The Plan [also] explicitly links action on the Guiding Principles and the Sustainable Development Goals... [and] also includes what might be described as pilot projects. Among them is a human rights impact assessment by the National Petroleum Company, an initiative focused on small and-medium sized enterprises, and links between banking institutions and cooperatives. At this stage, the Plan does not include legislative or regulatory measures. On access to justice, it calls for a study by the Supreme Court on legal and practical impediments.
