Coming of Age: The System of OECD National Contact Points for Responsible Business Conduct in Its Twenty Years

Original language description

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises are one of the most recognised international instruments within the universe of responsible business conduct (RBC) and business and human rights (BHR). To fully understand their role, and to critically discuss their implications and country practice, it is necessary to address a network of accountability mechanisms which ensure that corporate actors are socially responsible and respect human rights - National Contact Points (NCPs). NCPs are tasked with the implementation of the OECD Guidelines through promotional activities and by helping resolve &apos;specific instances&apos; of alleged non-observance of the Guidelines. The number and visibility of cases submitted to NCPs is increasing along their ability to make a difference. The 20th anniversary of the NCPs as a grievance mechanism (2020), and the tenth anniversary of the last update of the Guidelines (2021), is an appropriate juncture to reflect on the achievements so far. It is also a time to consider possible revisions that may enhance the ability of the Guidelines and the NCP system to remain at the forefront of international RBC standards and are fit to address emerging challenges such as climate change.
