Recommendations for National Action Plans on Business and Human Rights involved with gross human rights abuses and refuses to cooperate in addressing the situation; ④ Ensuring that their current policies, legislation, regulations and enforcement measures are effective in addressing the risk of business involvement in gross human rights abuses. 2) The UN Guiding Principle above states that the support from States is needed to prevent business activities in conflict-affected areas from becoming involved with human rights abuses. Thus, it requires States to recognize difficulties carrying out the corporate responsibility to respect human rights in conflict-affected areas and to pay a closer attention and take special steps at the national level to support business enterprises in implementing their responsibility to respect human rights. 3) Published in 2012, the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas presents concrete measures to help business enterprises respecting human rights select suppliers when purchasing materials such as mineral resources and avoid involvement in conflicts. 4) In Korea, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy set up a task force in 2012 to respond to the US regulation on mineral resources from conflict-affected areas. Since then, the Ministry hosted a meeting in order to find out the industry’s responses and difficulties facing them, and through seminars and open forums, continues its efforts to raise awareness of minerals originating in conflict-affected areas. The Korea Mineral Resources Corporation identifies and introduces alternative import channels to minerals subject to the regulation, and KOTRA monitors the responses from major countries through its overseas offices. 20
