In the emerging literature around human rights impact assessments, there is a growing discussion around what are some of the objectives or benefits of these particular tools. One that is recurring is about the ability of these processes to inform the rights holders, the workers or the community members, about what their rights are and what they mean.
In my report, I recommend further human rights training for employees and so on. I try to do a bit of that as I approach it, just to give people a sense of what that framework is and a sense that in addition to these local policies that are in place, these reflect standards. Also, I think, educating people around the quite new UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and about how the government has a certain set of obligations, and companies have a certain set of responsibilities is to give them a context for my work.
As I think I mentioned, it's in the hope that if there's going to be a follow-up to this, relevant managers and employees will be able to contextualize their roles as environment managers or security department people and how it is fitting into a bigger picture of human rights respect and protection.
