Children's Rights and Business Principles Uganda

Highlights

UNICEF’s initial engagement with the extractives and mining industry via the Uganda Chamber of Mines and Petroleum suggests that there is limited or no awareness of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and their off-shoot, the Children’s Rights and Business Principles (CRBPs). These principles were jointly developed globally by UNICEF, Save the Children and the United Nations Global Compact to provide companies with a broad framework to respect and promote children’s rights across their operations, relations and stakeholders.
