Access to justice and the right to food: the way forward 2015, para. 48
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- International obligations with extraterritorial dimensions are enunciated in a number of international treaties that emphasize the importance of international cooperation among States to ensure the protection of human rights. At the same time, international human rights instruments refer to how non-State actors have duties to uphold human rights standards. For example, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states in its preamble - and binding provisions in universal and regional human rights documents also indicate - duties for private actors, while the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (A/HRC/17/31), endorsed by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 17/4 in 2011, elaborate on the responsibility of business enterprises to respect human rights.
