PILLAR 2 – CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY TO RESPECT HUMAN RIGHTS
ACTIONABLE ITEMS
B. DUE DILIGENCE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
“…Where a state directly engages in business, government assumes dual roles- i.e. the International Human Rights obligation to Protect is retained; and having delved into business, it also has additional obligation to Respect Human Rights from a corporate perspective.” (p.162)
