Today, ZELA in partnership with Social Accountability International (SAI) and Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR) hosts mining companies, civil society, and members of parliament and community representatives for a workshop on the Pillars In Practice. The Pillars In Practice is a project that seeks to encourage government, civil society, trade unions and businesses to implement the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. This framework defines the responsibilities of companies and governments to prevent human rights abuses by businesses. According to the framework, states must protect their citizens from company human rights abuses. Businesses should respect human rights, no matter where they operate. Follow us on this page for Updates, also post your comments on this issue and be part of this very important initiatives.
