Briefing on National Action Plans (NAPs) Project Dialogues

From August 2013 to April 2014, the International Corporate Accountability Roundtable (ICAR) and the Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR) convened a series of 6 dialogues with over 240 experts and practitioners across stakeholder groups and world regions to gather inputs and recommendations in relation to the ICAR - DIHR National Action Plans (NAPs) Project. The NAPs Project is aimed at developing a Toolkit to support national implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), including through the development of national baseline studies, NAPs, and follow-up mechanisms that aim to give practical effect to the UNGPs.
