Human Rights Day is observed annually on 10 December, commemorating the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This year’s theme is: ‘Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now’, recognising the importance and relevance of human rights in our everyday lives and how they can help to forge a more peaceful, equal and sustainable future.
Human rights and Ipieca
Human rights are central to Ipieca’s work, with the fifth Ipieca Principle, a condition of membership, being to support the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Ipieca and its members took part in the initial consultation and development of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs).
We work with our members to share knowledge and develop good practice to support companies to embed human rights in their corporate process and operations.
