Corporations occupy
the highest position as perpetrators of human rights violations and
environmental destruction in the last three years. Moreover according to data
released by the National Commission on Human Rights, at the beginning of 2017
corporations ranks second most publicly reported institutions. One of the
causes of human rights violations committed by corporations is the absence of
binding standards and guidelines as direction in conducting business activities.
Responding to this problem the government issued a National Action Plan on
Business and Human Rights whose contents are obliging the company to perform
Human Right Due Diligence in its business activities. The presence of the
concept of Human Rights Due Diligence cannot be separated from various debates.
Human rights advocacy groups strongly support it but on the other hand,
business groups are strongly opposed to its existence because the company is
considered not responsible for the fulfillment of human rights. This paper uses
normative methodology by examining the library materials or secondary data as
the main object. The problems discussed in this study are: First, how is the
development of responsibility for the fulfillment of human rights by
corporations in Indonesia? Second, how is the urgency of
implementing Human Right Due Diligence by corporations in Indonesia? Based on
the problem, this study aims to review the conception of human rights and
analyze its development in the context of theory and law on efforts to fulfill
human rights by corporations in Indonesia. It also aims to analyze the causes
of implementation and examples of the Human Right Due Diligence regulation so
that it is known urgency of implementation for the corporation as an effort to
fulfill human rights in Indonesia.
