Paragraph text
In this sense, the work of the mandate holder has sought to clarify standards contained in the Declaration, and other relevant existing human rights instruments, both in general and in specific contexts. For instance, after the adoption of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the previous Special Rapporteur analysed how indigenous peoples’ rights should be interpreted and implemented in the context of business activities affecting them, both in relation to State duties and companies’ responsibilities, and developed further in-depth work on the issue focused on the activities of extractive industries. The current Special Rapporteur has provided interpretations of standards in relation to economic, social and cultural rights and sustainable development and to investment agreements, as well as analyses of conservation activities and climate change measures.
