Summary

The present document has been compiled as part of the Accountability and Remedy Project of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, pursuant to the request of the Human Rights Council in its resolution 44/15. In that resolution, the Council requested the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to convene two consultations involving representatives of States and other stakeholders to discuss challenges, good practices and lessons learned in enhancing access to remedy for victims of business-related human rights abuse. 

The document provides details from the two multi-stakeholder consultations convened pursuant to Council resolution 44/15. The first consultation focused on access to remedy in the technology sector; the second explored the links between human rights due diligence, accountability and access to remedy. 

The present document complements the report of the High Commissioner in which she provides an overview of the Accountability and Remedy Project and the activities undertaken during its fourth phase, examples of good practices in implementing the recommended actions from the project, and recommendations on how the project can contribute further to enhancing accountability and access to remedy for business-related human rights harms (A/HRC/50/45).
