Assessment of National Action Plan - United Kingdom (2016)

In May 2016, the government of the United Kingdom launched the second iteration of its National Action Plan (NAP) on business and human rights. In response, the International Corporate Accountability Roundtable (ICAR) and the European Coalition for Corporate Justice (ECCJ) conducted a structured assessment of the U.K. NAP, using the NAPs Checklist developed and published by ICAR and the Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR). The NAPs Checklist lays out a set of twenty-five criteria that address both the content of NAPs and the process for developing them.
