Violations committed against defenders by non-State actors 2010, para. 24
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The corporate responsibility to respect human rights (see A/HRC/14/27, paras. 54-78) is recognized in soft-law instruments such as the Tripartite Declaration of Principles Concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and it constitutes one of the commitments that companies undertake when joining the United Nations Global Compact. The corporate responsibility to respect notably applies to the rights enshrined in the International Bill of Human Rights. Therefore, the rights enshrined in the Declaration on human rights defenders, such as the right to security and liberty, freedom of association and freedom of opinion and expression, including access to information, must be respected by companies, whether national or transnational. Examples of alleged violations of those rights by companies are provided above.
