The OECD National Contact Point Mechanism

Elizabeth Umlas

Chapter 15 in Teaching Business and Human Rights, 2023, pp 204-218 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter provides an overview of National Contact Points (NCPs), which are established by governments adhering to the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. NCPs are state-based, non-judicial grievance mechanisms that promote the OECD Guidelines and serve as a mediation and dispute resolution platform for problems arising in relation to the implementation of the OECD Guidelines. After laying out what NCPs are and how they function, the chapter explores various criticisms of the NCP process as an accountability mechanism. It concludes with a discussion of how teachers of law, business, and policy courses might approach the NCP complaint process and offers selected teaching resources.
