STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK ON A NATIONAL ACTION PLAN ON BUSINESS AND HUMAN RIGHTS FOR MALAYSIA 23. The range of policy objectives articulated in the Strategic Framework are entry points for obtaining the commitment of Government and non-governmental stakeholders to develop an NAP. The Strategic Framework also serves as a resource document for accelerating understanding of how the Guiding Principles may be used and implemented. 24. Recommendations: Towards developing an NAP on business and human rights, the Commission recommends that the Strategic Framework be used in the following practical ways: (a) Government i. That the set of policy objectives identified in the Strategic Framework be used to identify and engage relevant ministries and agencies to participate in a cross-governmental effort to develop the NAP; and ii. Recognising that an initial NAP may not be able to address all the policy objectives identified, that the set of policy objectives in the Strategic Framework nevertheless be presented for stakeholder consultations and given full consideration before selecting the policy areas to address in the initial NAP (b) Non-Governmental Actors (including businesses, civil society and individuals and groups affected by adverse business-related human rights impacts) i. That non-governmental actors use the Strategic Framework and the Guiding Principles as reference points for action, including by identifying the policy objectives that are relevant to their interests and experience, providing input that will add to and improve the policy recommendations made, and raising additional policy objectives that are relevant to Malaysia; and ii. That non-governmental actors support efforts to develop an NAP for business and human rights. 8
