A website mapping National Action Plans (NAPs) on business and human rights globally.

A digital overview of NAPs around the world

The website, globalnaps.org, collates information from:

  1. Countries that already have NAPs
  2. Countries with an official commitment to development a NAP
  3. Countries where non-state actors have taken efforts to start a NAP development process.

Individual NAPs are then broken down to demonstrate how they address a wide range of human rights issues such as extractives, gender, and judicial remedy.

The end product is an easily accessible resource for officials, practitioners, academics, and anyone with an interest in business and human rights, to gain a comprehensive overview and understanding of NAPs on business and human rights from around the world.

Globalnaps.org will be continually updated so that users can always access information about new developments in the field of NAPs on business and human rights.

The globalnaps website hosts all key resources which have been developed by the Danish Institute for Human Rights  and other actors to support the development of NAPs

Step-by-step guidance on how to develop a NAP

The website and the 2017 edition Toolkit on NAPs on business and human rights, produced in collaboration with the International Corporate Accountability Roundtable (ICAR), are some of the initiatives within the Institute's work on national action plans on business and human rights.

More information on broader national human rights action plans is available here.
