In addition to the promotion of human rights, this report also states that we should ensure that international institutions do not prevent businesses from respecting human rights. In a number of free trade and other agreements, the principles of the respect for human rights have been removed. For example, in terms of trade, there is the WTO where these principles are not included.
It is therefore important that the state not only adopt national legislation, but that it also ensure that there is consistency in terms of international policy.
