guidelines for States and companies to ‘protect, respect, and remedy’ human
rights abuses committed in business operations. Their unique tailoring to
businesses makes them a good fit for ICANN. The word respect in this case
refers to companies’ responsibility to avoid infringing on the human rights of
others and should address adverse human rights impacts with which they are
involved (</span><span style="font-family:Verdana"><a href="http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Publications/GuidingPrinciplesBusinessHR_EN.pdf"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:150%">Guiding principle 11,</span></a></span><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Verdana"> for implementing the

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0cm;line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Verdana">1. State
responsibility to protect against human rights abuses by third entities,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0cm;line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Verdana">2. Corporate
responsibility to respect human rights, in which businesses are asked to

explicit human rights commitment, companies need to adopt a due diligence
approach to their business processes. Due diligence in the case of human rights
refers to the: <span style="font-family:Verdana">“An ongoing risk
management process…in order to identify, prevent, mitigate and account for how
[a company] addresses its adverse human rights impacts. It includes four key
steps: assessing actual and potential human rights impacts; integrating and
acting on the findings; tracking responses; and communicating about how impacts
are addressed.” (UN Ruggie Principles).</span></span><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Verdana"></span></p>

that identify potential human rights abuses, that allow them to respond in a
timely fashion with measures to prevent these abuses. These processes can also
identify ongoing human rights abuses, and as such, need to include procedures
to remedy those. Keeping in mind that this framework of interpretation does not
create any additional obligation for ICANN to respond to or consider any
complaint, request or demand seeking the enforcement of human rights by ICANN.</span></p>
