Business and human rights study area analyses the impact of business activities on human rights in the light of the most recent evolution of international standards and of the adoption in 2011 of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The Guiding Principles have rapidly become the main reference standard at the international level for States, businesses, International Organisations, civil society, etc., and have inspired the process of development of national and supranational legislation aimed at addressing human rights violations occurring globally in the context of business operations of companies.
