Corporate responsibility with respect to indigenous rights 2010, para. 27
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The role of companies with regard to human rights is a complex question which has provoked growing interest on the part of the international community. This interest has been reflected inter alia by the establishment by the Commission on Human Rights and the subsequent renewal by the Human Rights Council of the mandate of the Special Representative on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises. The Special Representative has shown particular interest in the role of companies with regard to the human rights of indigenous peoples. The Special Rapporteur and the Special Representative's team have begun to work together on this issue, as was seen at the Sitges expert meeting on mechanisms to prevent and resolve conflicts arising from extractive activities (see paragraph 18 above).
