Roadmap for the next decade - Day 1 (Room XX)…

1:20pm – 2:40pm     Roadmap for the next decade : Taking stock (ORIGINAL LANGUAGE ONLY)

To mark the 10th anniversary of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights on 10th June 2021, the Working Group on Business and Human Rights coordinated a series of efforts to take stock of the progress made in the first decade of implementation. Following this stocktaking effort, the Working Group prepared the "UNGPs at 10+: A Roadmap for the Next Decade of Business and Human Rights" ('Roadmap'), which was presented at the 10th UN Forum on Business and Human Rights. This session will discuss the progress made so far in tackling the action areas identified in the Roadmap. The discussions in this high level session will draw upon the experience of the Working Group in engaging with various stakeholders during their consultations, including in the 2022 African Business and Human Rights Forum and the 2022 UN South Asia Forum on Business and Human Rights. Likewise, insights obtained from the Working Group through various submissions from States, international organisations, civil society organisations, and other stakeholders, provided in response to its various thematic calls for input, will also be engaged.
