Abstract
United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) was adopted by United Nations in 2011. Indonesia earnestly acknowledges the existence of UNGP to be incorporated into regulations and policies which legally bind to all stakeholders.
The National Action Plan on Human Rights (Ranham) as mandated by Presidential Regulation No. 75 of 2015 set action and strategy for business and human rights. To be more effective efforts, Komnas HAM and Elsam initiated the emergence of the national action plan on business and human rights (NAP) published in 2017. However, the government including local governments has not yet coordinated with the others. Indonesia still has obstacles to ensure the implementation of UNGP into business activities.
This article analyses the development of human rights and business policies in Indonesia. By using UNGP and other documents both international and national related to business and human rights instruments, this article uses library research to review the Indonesian Ranham in Jokowi era.
