A/HRC/23/32 (c) Identifying priorities to be addressed in each region and opportunities to cooperate in addressing them; (d) Promoting learning and the sharing of experiences from within the region and with other regions; (e) Promoting the adoption of national plans of action. The Working Group plans for the outcomes of each regional consultation to feed into and strengthen discussions at the 2013 Forum on Business and Human Rights, to be held on 3 and 4 December 2013, in Geneva. VI. Country visits 59. The Working Group conducted its first visit to Mongolia from 8 to 18 October 2012, and prepared a full report thereon as an addendum to the present report.26 The Working Group thanks the Government of Mongolia for its invitation and the Government and all stakeholders that assisted the visit and engaged with the Working Group. 60. The Working Group recognizes the importance of country visits as a key aspect of its mandate. They are an opportunity to help to move a country forward in managing cases of negative impact of business activities, including through the targeted recommendations of the Working Group that are based on direct interaction with representatives of the Government, the business community and civil society, and directly affected individuals and groups in the country. Country visits also offer an opportunity for the Working Group to clarify what the Guiding Principles mean in actual practice, using a concrete national context. To achieve the full extent of this potential, the Working Group has adopted a systematic approach to its country visits and developed, in collaboration with the Danish Institute for Human Rights, a template to guide each country visit. The draft template was publicly presented and consulted on during the 2012 Forum on Business and Human Rights. The Working Group will continue to develop, refine and consult on the template throughout 2013 with a view to further strengthen its approach and generate interest, understanding and engagement with country visits. 61. The first visit to Mongolia provided the Working Group with an opportunity to engage directly with stakeholders in Mongolia to identify the main business-related forms of impact on human rights; to identify what key actors are currently doing to address these; to clarify the challenges preventing key actors from meeting their human rights obligations; and to identify the opportunities to advance the implementation and dissemination of the Guiding Principles, and the good practices and lessons learned that can be shared more broadly. 62. Details on the forthcoming country visits of the Working Group, including dates, will be posted on the websiteof the Working Group 27 when confirmed with the host countries. The Working Group looks forward to engaging with all stakeholders during its forthcoming country visits and to the further systematic development of its approach to this critical aspect of its mandate. 26 27 A/HRC/23/32/Add.1. www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Business/Pages/WGHRandtransnationalcorporationsand otherbusiness.aspx. 17
