Summary

Following publication of the draft Guiding Principles (GPs) for the implementation of the UN framework for business and human rights, Wilton Park held an informal consultation with a broad cross-section of major stakeholders: representatives of governments from all global regions, from intergovernmental organisations, national human rights institutions, business and civil society, together with the author of the draft principles, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative (SRSG) on business and human rights, Professor John Ruggie.
