A/HRC/38/20
V. Recommendations
27.
OHCHR recommends that Member States:
(a)
As part of their implementation of the pillar on access to remedy of the
Guiding Principles, consider undertaking a review of the scope and effectiveness of
relevant State-based non-judicial mechanisms using the policy objectives and elements
set out in the recommended action together with the model terms of reference (see
A/HRC/38/20/Add.1) as a starting point;
(b)
Develop a comprehensive strategy for the implementation of the policy
objectives in a manner that responds appropriately to local legal structures,
challenges and needs, for instance, as part of national action plans on business and
human rights9 and/or as part of strategies to improve access to justice in general;
(c)
Take steps, using the policy objectives and elements set out in the
recommended action as a starting point, to enhance the ability of State-based nonjudicial mechanisms to respond to cases of business-related human rights abuses
where the relevant facts, evidence, harm and/or actors are located in more than one
jurisdiction, to the extent appropriate in the light of the mandates and functions of the
mechanisms.
