Large-scale development project and human rights defenders 2013, para. 44
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In this context, the Special Rapporteur notes that the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights require that companies identify and assess any actual or potential adverse human rights impacts through meaningful consultation with potentially affected groups, as an integral part of their responsibility to respect human rights. Such impact assessments should be carried out not only at the start of a new project or business relationship, but also periodically throughout the life cycle of the project, prior to any planned significant changes or if there is a significant shift in the operating context (for example, in the event of rising social tensions) (see Guiding Principle No. 18).
