可持续发展目标和工商业与人权议题:是夜行之舟吗?

Sustainable Development Goals and the Business and Human Rights Discourse:Ships Passing in the Night?

联合国《2030年议程》设定了雄心勃勃的目标,并且承认私营部门是实现可持续发展目标的主要伙伴之一。在过去的二十年里,逐渐兴起的工商业与人权话题已经影响了我们对企业责任的思考方式,以及企业为其人权影响而应当承担责任的程度。有人担心,联合国《2030年议程》没有充分认识到私营部门责任这一不断演变的话语,从而可能会阻碍其发展。可持续发展目标在多大程度上反映了工商业与人权争论的演变情况?工商业与人权的话语如何影响到可持续发展目标的实现,或者迄今为止的实践是否证实了可持续发展论述和工商业与人权这种权利话语之间存在鸿沟的担忧?或者这两个话语体系是否只是偶然遭遇在一起?如果是这样,那么会带来什么影响呢?

The UN Agenda 2030 sets ambitious goals recognizing the private sector as a key partner in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs).The last two decades a discourse on business and human rights(BHR)has developed that has influenced the way we think about corporate responsibility and the degree of responsibility that corporations carry for their impact on human rights.Concerns have been raised that Agenda 2030 insufficiently recognizes this evolving discourse on the responsibility of the private sector and arguably may undermine developments in this area.To what extent do the SDGs reflect the evolving BHR debate?(How)is the BHR discourse shaping the implementation of the SDGs or does practice so far confirm concerns regarding a chasm between the sustainable development discourse and the BHR rights discourse?Are the two discourses ships passing in the night and,if so,does it matter?
