Study on Chinese State-Owned Enterprises'Human Rights Responsibility Fulfillment and Supervision
Article 4 of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights(hereinafter referred to as"the Guiding Principles")requires states to take"additional steps"to protect human rights against abuse by state-owned or controlled business enterprises.The Guiding Principles only clearly defines the business enterprises controlled by states.In implementing the Fourth National Human Rights Action Plan,it is better for China to define state-owned enterprises by the"state funded"standard enshrined in relevant Chinese policies.The requirements of business relationships termination in EU's and its Member States'Business and Human Rights legislations are quite different from the Guiding Principles'.Chinese state-owned enterprises should notice the difference when fulfilling the human rights responsibility.Chinese State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission at all levels should improve their measures for"additional steps"by following the development of Business and Human Rights rules nationally and internationally.To implement the Fourth National Human Rights Action Plan,the Commission at all levels should develop policies to provide effective guidance for state-owned enterprises to fulfill human rights responsibilities.These policies should take human rights as core issue of corporate social responsibility,clearly oppose mandatory business relationships termination,coordinate the relationship between the reform of state-owned enterprises and the supervision of human rights responsibility fulfillment,and promote beneficial experience in state-owned enterprises'overseas human rights respect and protection domestically.
