Also known as the Ruggie Principles, they inform businesses on how to operate within a human rights framework and to respect the communities they operate in. To complement the Ruggie Principles, in 2013 the United Nations consulted on draft international guidelines to support respect of indigenous people’s rights by the private sector.6 The Commission continues to work alongside Tangata Whenua to push for government and businesses to fulfill their responsibilities and meet these international principles.
