Status of ratification by countries of International Human Rights Treaties
()
Data Source:
Baseline and endline surveys conducted and budgeted by the EU-funded intervention
Additional Information
This indicator provides information on the ratification status of the International Treaty, not the alignment of the national law with the treaty (this is looked at outcome level). National law should guarantee the enjoyment of the rights enumerated in International Treaties / Conventions. The method selected will vary according to the constitutional and legal systems of individual countries. In some countries, once it is ratified at the international level, the treaty may automatically form part of national law (impact level result). In some other countries, the legislature might have to adopt an act of ratification at the national level (outcome level result). In other cases, including many common-law countries, only those provisions of the treaty that are directly incorporated into national law will give rise to enforceable rights and duties. |

F. Improved engagement of the private
sector in the respect, protection and promotion of human rights |
Extent to which private sector entities identify, assess, mitigate and communicate the actual and potential adverse human rights impacts with which they are involved, as per corporate Human Rights Benchmark (OPSYS core indicator)
(Extent to which)
Data Source:
World Benchmarking Alliance Corporate Human Rights Benchmark indicator Chambers Logs, Private entities Standard Operating Procedures, EU intervention monitoring and reporting systems
Additional Information
Qualitative assessment based on whether private sector entities identify and assess the nature of their actual and potential adverse human rights impacts. The process of assessment should include all internationally recognised human rights as a reference point. The focus of the assessment is on risks to people not to the business. Depending on the size of the business enterprise and the nature and context of its operations, assessments should involve meaningful engagement with potentially affected individuals and groups. Consultation should be done in a manner that takes into account potential barriers to engagement, such as language. In situations where direct consultation is not possible, legally or logistically, business enterprises should consider reasonable alternatives such as consulting credible independent experts. If business enterprises have large number of entities in their value chain, it may be unreasonably difficult to conduct due diligence across all of them. If so, the company should identify general areas where the risks are most significant and prioritize among these. Assessments of impacts should be done at regular intervals and before any major decisions or changes in the operation. Business enterprises should pay special attention to any particular individuals from groups or populations that may be at heightened risk of vulnerability or marginalization. Finally, the company should ensure that all information on the potential impacts of its business operations are shared and accessible to potentially impacted individuals or communities.

EURF - This indicator refers to the total number of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) that are applying Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) practices with EU support. SCP practices aim to do “more and better with less,” by reducing resource use, degradation and pollution along the life cycle of goods and services, while increasing the quality of life for all. The definition of the MSMEs can be based on the local definition. Where the local definition is not available, definitions from the EU, the World Bank Group or another international organisation can be used. Smallholder farmers (that are typically self-employed and without employees) are not included as microenterprises. Under this indicator the consumption and production policies applied and measured for the Human Rights Results, are the ones that promote, protect and implement human rights standards.
