520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
Summary, etc. | After endorsing the UN Guiding Principles on business and human rights (UNGPs) in 2011,<br/>the UN set up in 2014 an intergovernmental working group with a mandate to examine a<br/>treaty on business and human rights. A first draft for discussion will be issued in late 2017.<br/>The intention has been to supplement the UNGPs – an authoritative policy instrument seen<br/>as ‘soft law’ – with a legally binding instrument.<br/>This brief explains the progression of legal reasoning around corporate human rights responsibilities during the last two decades. One can identify three stages, or “baselines”, that<br/>were drawn in the mid-2000s, in 2011, and post-2014 on how to regulate the activities of<br/>multinational enterprises (MNEs).<br/>The first baseline is the result of the classical international human rights law tradition exposed in the UN Norms the Responsibilities of Transnational Corporations with Regard to<br/>Human Rights (UN Norms), which were developed in the early 2000s and shelved in 2004<br/>after encountering fatal opposition from states and businesses.<br/>The second baseline consists of the UNGPs, adopted in 2011, following the UN mandate<br/>of John Ruggie, who came with a different take on global governance – and the role of<br/>international law therein – and how to shape business conduct.<br/>The third baseline is currently being drawn as the UN began in 2014 exploring an international<br/>legal instrument on corporate accountability through the work of the UN inter-governmental<br/>working group.<br/>Is the third baseline predisposed to revert to the first baseline? Is that desirable and what<br/>would be the alternative to this reversal? How does one ensure that the emerging third<br/>legalization baseline is complementary with the second baseline? This brief identifies characteristics of the three baselines to stimulate evaluation of the past developments and<br/>encourage reflections on the way forward for regulatory thinking on MNE accountability. |
