Advisory Commission of the National Action Plan on Human Rights and Business
The National Action Plan on Human Rights and Business was passed in Colombia in 2014 in response to the United Nations' recommendations advocating for the role of States in respecting and guaranteeing human rights in business. The Advisory Commission is a group of citizens and representatives of organized civil society, meeting ad honorem to guide the Working Group in charge of the National Action Plan's implementation. The advisory commission is made up of nine civil society representatives, including: indigenous and Afro-descendant organizations, workers' organizations and unions, university associations, and also the honorary participation of the Ombudsman's Office.
