On 14 June 2023, the Mongolian government adopted its first NAP, titled Action Plan for the Protection of Human Rights in Business Activities, Prevention of Human Rights Violations, and Restoration of Violated Rights (2023-2027). The goal of Mongolia’s NAP is to promote and localise a business culture that respects human rights in the country, and to identify, plan, manage and implement activities and measures to prevent and reduce the negative impacts of business activities on human rights and the environment. Main objectives listed in the NAP include:
- Improve and support the legal framework for the implementation of economic and labour rights, such as the right to a living wage, the right to safe and healthy working conditions, the right to freedom from harassment and violence in labour relations, the right to equality and freedom from discrimination and the right to effective remedy.
- Assess and reduce the potential risks and impacts to human rights and the environment that arise from business activities.
- Establish a legal framework for compliance with human rights principles and criteria in the selection and procurement of contractors for development projects and programmes.
- Create a legal framework for business enterprises to conduct human rights due diligence.
- Raise awareness throughout the public and private sectors, build their capacity and strengthen their roles and responsibilities.
- Support private sector initiatives aimed at promoting and respecting human rights and improving social and economic conditions.
- Improve procedures and mechanisms for redress of human rights violations through judicial and non-judicial mechanisms.
In October and November of 2023, UNDP Mongolia organised several workshops, providing a comprehensive overview of the UNGPs and the recently adopted NAP. These workshops brought together government officials from eight ministries, representatives from the National Human Right Commission, local governing bodies, and civil society organisations. These workshops were organised with a view to provide tools and support for government officials to formulate concrete plans and measures for implementation of the commitments in the NAP.
National Baseline Assessment (NBA)
On July 1, 2021, Mongolia released a National Baseline Assessment on Business and Human Rights (NBA) in partnership with UNDP (available in Mongolian). In 2022, an updated version of the NBA was released (available in Mongolian and English).
Follow-up, monitoring, reporting and review
The NAP includes several provisions regarding follow-up procedures, monitoring and review. The State Central Administration and other relevant institutions responsible for implementing the commitments in the NAP (2023-2027) will adopt and execute detailed sector-specific plans. These entities will also prepare a performance report and submit it to the Secretariat of the National Committee for Human Rights (NCHR) by the first of December each year. The NCHR Secretariat will assess the implementation of the NAP by the 15th of December each year and provide guidance and recommendations on how to improve implementation. The Secretariat is also tasked with the monitoring and review of the NAP after less than 18 months and submit the results to the government, together with proposals for further action. Monitoring and review may be supported by external experts and non-governmental organisations. Six months before the completion of the implementation of the NAP, the Secretariat will make its final evaluation of the results and report its findings to the public and the government. The Secretariat will then take specific actions to revise, approve or ensure the implementation of the action plan with the involvement of relevant stakeholders.
