Корпоративная ответственность за соблюдение прав человека

Предприятия могут играть важную роль в продвижении прав человека, таких как права на питание, средства к существованию, безопасные условия труда и развитие. Однако они также могут иметь негативное воздействие - намеренно или непреднамеренно - на права, такие как права на безопасную и здоровую окружающую среду, доступ к воде и недискриминацию.

«Предприятиям надлежит соблюдать права человека. Это означает, что им следует избегать нарушения прав человека других и устранять неблагоприятные последствия для прав человека оказанного ими воздействия», – объясняют Руководящие принципы по вопросам бизнеса и прав человека.

Предприятия могут играть важную роль в продвижении прав человека, таких как права на питание, средства к существованию, безопасные условия труда и развитие. Однако они также могут иметь негативное воздействие – намеренно или непреднамеренно – на права, такие как права на безопасную и здоровую окружающую среду, доступ к воде и недискриминацию.

Ожидается, что предприятия в большей степени будут уважать права человека, учитывая то, что продолжают появляться новые законы о корпоративном управлении и должной заботе о правах человека. Корпорации все чаще привлекаются к ответственности за нарушения прав через судебные системы как в стране, где произошло нарушение, так и в стране, где находится штаб-квартира компании. Европейский Союз стремится принять еще больше законов, регулирующих бизнес и права человека, включая новые законы об обязательной должной заботе о правах человека.

Многие предприятия уже имеют обязательства и принципы, связанные с правами человека – часто в форме устойчивости, социальных инвестиций, корпоративной социальной ответственности или ОСОКУ. Хотя эти подходы во многом пересекаются, концепция «бизнеса и прав человека» в первую очередь направлена на недопущение негативного воздействия на права человека. Хотя благотворительность и инвестиционные проекты поощряются, они не могут «компенсировать» негативное воздействие.

Ожидается, что предприятия не будут оказывать негативного воздействия на все международно признанные права человека, изложенные во Всеобщей декларации прав человека и дополнительно рассматриваемые в обязательных договорах и комментариях ООН.

На веб-сайте «Ведение бизнеса с соблюдением прав человека» представлена информация и рекомендации о том, почему предприятиям важно уважать права человека, какие права предприятиям необходимо уважать, и как предприятия могут интегрировать права человека в свою практику.
