UN Forum Series Blog: Progress depends on clarifying responsibilities

At the global level, the distance between the “economic” agenda (e.g., trade, investment and finance) and the UNGPs has not diminished substantially since 2011 – the year when the UNGPs were unanimously endorsed by the UN Human Rights Council...Throughout the year of 2015, Brazil signed five Cooperation and Facilitation Investment Agreements (CFIA), having as counterparts Mozambique, Angola, Mexico, Malawi and Colombia...One of its articles states that investors should “respect the human rights of those involved in the activities of the company according to the international commitments of the host state”.
