Özet: 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.

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.

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.
