Paragraph
Paragraph text
As business has become increasingly global, the international community has also responded by adopting non-binding global frameworks that are addressed to business. For example, the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights offer companies guidance on key labour and human rights issues relevant to contemporary forms of slavery. These principles, which were endorsed by the Human Rights Council in June 2011, cover all aspects of human rights, including reference to ILO core labour standards; and provide a common, authoritative standard and reference point for mitigating the risk of negative human rights impacts.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
