A/HRC/21/21 Human Rights has been asked to take appropriate action to promote and support the embedding and integration of the Guiding Principles into the United Nations system, in cooperation with the secretariats of the Chief Executive Board and system-wide coordination mechanisms, including through the human rights mainstreaming mechanism and other key entities identified in the present report. 94. United Nations Resident Coordinators and country teams should take the lead, where possible in collaboration with OHCHR, to ensure coordination on business and human rights and the integration of the Guiding Principles into planning and advocacy efforts at the national level. Joint efforts to engage national human rights institutions and Global Compact local networks would make an important contribution to the promotion of the business and human rights agenda and the Guiding Principles. 95.

An important contribution to support the sharing and management of knowledge on business and human rights would be to explore the establishment of a global database to keep track of the implementation of the Guiding Principles by States and enterprises and their application by other stakeholders, as well as the scope for using existing platforms. 101. Considering the scale of the capacity-building challenge and the resource implications of meeting it, the feasibility of establishing a global fund on business and human rights linked to the United Nations, with multi-stakeholder engagement, should be considered.
