The business and human rights issue has been embodied in the UN s international agenda, including in the initiative called the United Nations Global Compact which consists basically of a commitment that business voluntarily assumes to the alignment of its activities with the implementation of ten universally accepted principles related to four areas, namely: human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption. In light of two of the Global Compact principles which focus specifically on the issue of human rights, participating business in the initiative are committed to respect them, in other words, not to violate them, as well as not to be complicit in their violation.
