Due diligence and trafficking in persons 2015, para. 38

Paragraph
Paragraph text
In addition to improved inter-State cooperation, greater legal and policy coherence on human rights due diligence is also needed where States participate in intergovernmental institutions or entities, including international trade and financial institutions. While States retain their international human rights law obligations of due diligence when they participate in such institutions, inter-State organizations should also embed due diligence in their governance activities, including in procurement practices and particularly in post-conflict situations. The United Nations human rights due diligence policy on United Nations support to non-United Nations security forces that "sets out measures that all United Nations entities must take in order to ensure that any support that they may provide to non-United Nations forces is consistent with the purposes and principles as set out in the Charter of the United Nations and with its responsibility to respect, promote and encourage respect for international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law" is one example.
