Abstract

As noted by the UN Secretary General in Our Common Agenda, corporations can be important partners in promoting and implementing International Solidarity network actions and policies along with States and civil society actors. They can pursue sustainable development to support intergenerational solidarity by protecting the environment and show respect for the continuity of communal cultural traditions. The Revised Draft Declaration on International Solidarity, Article 6, calls upon corporations to provide transparent, accessible mechanisms for communication and response to solidarity demands presented to them by civil society, labor unions, Indigenous Peoples and other groups. The Independent Expert seeks input from States, civil society organizations, and corporations to understand the role of corporations and their scope of action in promoting and implementing International Solidarity. Participants are asked to respond to the issues raised in the Call for Input: OHCHR | Call for Input for the report on Corporations and International Solidarity
