Participants
The governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, Norway and the Netherlands plus companies operating in the extractive and energy sectors and non-governmental organizations, all with an interest in human rights and corporate social responsibility, have engaged in the dialogue on security and human rights and have collectively developed the Voluntary Principles.
These participants all recognize the importance of promoting and protecting human rights throughout the world and the constructive role business and civil society -- including non-governmental organizations, trade unions and local communities -- can play in advancing these goals.
