Description | The aim of the current National Action Plan (NAP), based on the United Nations Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), is to ensure companies protect human rights either directly or within supply chains. Five main points are addressed by the Action Plan: 1. Active role of the government 2. Policy coherence 3. Clarifying due diligence 4. Transparency and reporting 5. Scope for remedy. The current NAP was published in 2014 and therefore needs an update. The Dutch government starts a revision of the NAP at the end of 2019. The first step of the revision is a gap analysis. The revision will also include multi-stakeholder consultations. |
