Development, 2016, vol. 59, issue 1, 21-28

Abstract: Abstract The UN system is at a pivotal point in time. With its mandate to pursue justice for people and planet and address inequalities and insecurities at all levels, it must pivot unequivocally to public interest. Norms, standards and guidelines are needed to govern the interactions of the United Nations with the corporate sector. Priority must be given to establish an adequate intergovernmental framework and UN institutional capacity for assessing risk and ensuring impartial monitoring and oversight.
