A/HRC/44/43/Add.1 B. Recommendations 99. The Working Group recommends that the Government: (a) Strengthen the implementation of the chapter on business and human rights in the human rights national action plan by including indicators that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound, allocating adequate resources and improving the effectiveness of coordination structures to ensure that relevant ministries and agencies can deliver on their responsibility under the chapter. These structures should enable input from all relevant parts of the Government and other stakeholders, meet regularly and provide a forum where the Government can be held to account; (b) Develop, in meaningful consultation with all stakeholders and in line with the Working Group’s guidance, a stand-alone national action plan on business and human rights to implement the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in a comprehensive manner; (c) Ensure that the amendments of the Labour Code, once adopted by the parliament, are immediately implemented and effectively monitored, including in relation to working hours, weekly rest, night work, payment of overtime hours and work on public holidays; (d) Adopt measures to combat all discriminatory practices in the private sector and to address challenges in integrating and retaining discriminated individuals or groups in the labour market; (e) Adopt effective measures to implement the principle of equal pay for work of equal value, in order to close the gender wage gap, and to consistently review the wages of men and women in all sectors; (f) Integrate a gender perspective in all measures to promote business respect for human rights and corporate accountability in line with the Working Group’s gender guidance for the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights;22 (g) Adopt effective measures to prevent and address sector-specific risks related to the health and safety of workers and their labour rights, especially in construction and mining sites. The Government should ensure that the Labour Conditions Inspection Department is adequately staffed and that its staff receives the necessary training and resources to inspect all human rights pertaining to the workplace and to safety and working conditions in all sectors, with an emphasis on its preventive role; (h) Implement training programmes to empower workers, especially those in vulnerable situations, such as migrant workers, to exercise their rights, including the rights to create and join trade unions and to collective bargaining; (i) Adopt a more holistic approach to environmental impact assessments and monitoring that takes into account sector-specific risks and the differentiated impacts on groups at heightened risk of business-related human rights abuses. In relation to the hydropower sector, this should include stricter requirements that take into account the cumulative and holistic impact assessments; (j) Ensure the effective enforcement of the regulations providing for the equal and meaningful participation of rights-holders in environmental decisionmaking from an early stage, and throughout project implementation, including access to information and transparency at scoping and licencing phases; (k) Include human rights criteria in State public procurement practices and economic diplomacy, including export credits and trade support for Georgian companies as a means of promoting business respect for human rights; 22 A/HRC/41/43. 19
