Business and human rights: 'taking stock'

June marked 5 years since the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights were endorsed by states in the UN Human Rights Council.

This short post is just to link to one recent set of reflections by others in this field on progress on the UNGPs 5 year's on -- five positives, and five areas of more concern.

Here are two selected accessible video and audio resources also 'taking stock' at this 5-year mark:

* Video by SOMO
* Podcast by John Ruggie, author of the UNGPs

These resources to not necessarily capture the range of views (from positive to critical) on the utility and impact of the UNGPs.
