The National Action Plan incorporates the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and focuses on five thematic issues identified by stakeholders, namely: Land and Natural Resources; labour rights; revenue transparency; environmental protection; and access to remedy. It outlines concrete commitments by the government for addressing adverse business-related human rights impacts under these themes. It does not create new obligations but restates those already recognised under the Constitution. |
