STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK ON A NATIONAL ACTION PLAN ON BUSINESS AND HUMAN RIGHTS FOR MALAYSIA have at their disposal to operationalise human rights in the regulation of business and economic activities. 5. Translating the Guiding Principles into Malaysia’s context, the Strategic Framework articulates a set of policy objectives and related recommendations that the Government should consider when developing its NAP on business and human rights. It is hoped that translating the Guiding Principles into concrete objectives and recommendations specific to Malaysia will provide entry points for obtaining the commitment of Government and non-governmental stakeholders to develop an NAP, and begin the process of obtaining the stakeholder input needed to formulate the NAP’s action points. The Strategic Framework also serves as a resource document for accelerating understanding of how the Guiding Principles may be used and implemented. 6. The movement towards ensuring corporate respect and accountability for human rights is gaining prominence and will continue to progress. The Commission is confident that the continued fostering of corporate respect for human rights in Malaysia and ASEAN will boost Malaysia’s efforts to become a fully developed nation and help achieve the successful implementation of sustainable development. 2
