A/HRC/41/21 promote the principles of participation, transparency and accountability in law and policymaking and to ensure that the Government’s general policy and sector-based policies incorporate a human rights-based approach. A number of activities were also implemented in Mozambique to support the development of a national action plan on business and human rights, including developing a national baseline assessment, and establishing a national coordination mechanism, composed of governmental entities, civil society organizations and business enterprises. 57. In Colombia, departmental public policies on business and human rights were developed in Antioquia and Magdalena, including for the design of mechanisms for nonjudicial remedies. With regard to the integration of human rights principles into business operations, Guías Colombia, a multi-actor initiative created to establish due diligence guidelines, adopted mandatory due diligence standards for the assessment, prevention and mitigation of human rights impacts, in the operations of its members, contractors and suppliers. The existing guidelines address a variety of issues, such as security, decent work and land. A 2017 evaluation demonstrated that approximately 60 per cent of the businesses reporting to Guías Colombia had made significant progress in the implementation of the guidelines. 58. In Honduras, the National Association of Industrialists created a committee to promote human rights among its members, while in Guatemala, the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources committed to developing a guidance document for consultation with indigenous peoples during the initial phase of environmental impact studies related to the exploitation of natural resources. The Government of Chile developed and launched a national plan on business and human rights. Inclusive societies provide access to justice and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions 59. Guaranteeing access to justice is both a human rights obligation and central to the achievement of Goal 16. Through its human rights presence in the South Caucasus, OHCHR strengthened capacities to expand legal aid to groups facing vulnerabilities in their access to social services and enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights in Azerbaijan. This effort has resulted in free professional legal assistance to complement the limited legal services available to vulnerable groups, including persons with disabilities and low-income populations. 60. In Georgia in 2018, Parliament passed a law mandating the State Inspector to investigate allegations of serious human rights abuses by law enforcement officials and to monitor protection of personal data. This law had received extensive support from OHCHR, the national human rights institution and non-governmental organizations and is the result of consistent human rights advocacy. 61. In September 2018, the European Parliament, for the first time in the European Union’s history, made extensive use of United Nations human rights standards in taking action against a Member State for values and rights breaches. In May 2018, the European Commission decided to propose rule of law conditionality on the use of European Union funds, and in October 2018 the European Parliament moved to establish European Union funds for human rights work in European Union member States. Sustained engagement by OHCHR in terms of its monitoring and advocacy in Hungary and Poland in particular, bolstered efforts by national, regional and international actors to respond more effectively to rule of law challenges and to threats to civic space in these countries. 62. In December 2018, the Niger adopted a law on protection and assistance for internally displaced persons, in line with the African Union Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa (the Kampala Convention). The law strengthens national measures to prevent, mitigate and eliminate the conditions that could lead to internal displacement and calls for protection and assistance for internally displaced persons. During her mission to the Niger in March of the same year, the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons encouraged the adoption of a national law on protection and assistance for internally displaced persons. This particularly relates to targets 16.1 and 16.3. 12
