Abstract

The issue of business and human rights in the Americas has significantly evolved over the last years due to the various and constant episodes of business-related human rights abuses. Thus, in a region reliant on, influenced and hit by business elites, actions and initiatives have emerged from States and regional organizations that promote responsible business conduct. The purpose of this article is to reflect and analyze the scope, content, and novel contributions of the 2020 report of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on business and human rights, which contains and develops the minimum standards for States - and business – in order to respect and guarantee the enjoyment of human rights in the context of business activities.
