Los principios Ruggie y la Agenda 2030. Un futuro de recíprocas influencias por explorar

Abstract

The Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights are a valuable tool for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. The adoption of National Action Plans in accordance with them and the consequent implementation of measures that, among other things, guarantee the recognition of the extraterritorial responsibility of the parent companies, impose mandatory due diligence procedures and remove obstacles in access to effective mechanisms of reparation, will contribute to the fulfilment of the sustainable development goals. The evaluation of the National Action Plans and the monitoring of compliance with the measures by which they are integrated are considered to be useful tools for diagnosing the level
of achievement of the objectives around which the 2030 Agenda is articulated. The purpose of this paper is precisely to contribute to the preliminary assessment of compliance with the Ruggie Principles through the analysis of the content of the National Action Plans of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, France, Norway, Italy, Switzerland and Spain, and in this way to establish guidelines to follow in future activities assessing the level of achievement of the sustainable development goals.
