To lead by example, the United Nations system should apply the Guiding Principles in its internal policies and procedures, grounded on the responsibility to avoid causing or contributing to human rights abuses or being associated with such abuse through relations with business entities. In particular, this implies having in place due diligence processes to identify and address potential or actual adverse human rights impact directly linked to operations, products or services by the business relationships of the United Nations. 103. Specifically, the Organization’s approaches to investment management, procurement and partnerships with the business sector should be aligned with the Guiding Principles. 104. As provided by the Guiding Principles, States should encourage multinational institutions of which they are members to promote business respect for human rights within their respective mandates and capacities.
