One of the fundamental principles of the international human rights system is that victims must have access to an effective remedy when their rights have been violated. Remedy for human rights harm refers to both the processes of providing remedy for an adverse human rights impact and the substantive outcomes that can counteract, or make good, the impact. The Guiding Principles affirm that the State duty to protect rights includes ensuring that, if companies abuse human rights, States will provide a robust and appropriate remedy to those affected, through judicial, administrative, legislative or other appropriate means, when such abuses occur within their territory and/or jurisdiction.
