OCTOBER 7 — It is mind boggling that both the Perikatan Nasional and the current federal administrations have”no” when asked about tabling a transboundary haze legislation as revealed by Puchong MP and former minister of energy, science, technology, environment and climate change Yeo Bee Yin.
Except for Singapore, no other Asean member States have enacted a transboundary haze legislation. The republic’s Transboundary Haze Pollution Act 2014 makes it an offence to cause or contribute to any haze pollution in Singapore. “The Parties should take precautionary measures to anticipate, prevent and monitor transboundary haze pollution as a result of land and/or forest fires which should be mitigated, to minimize its adverse effects. Where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage from transboundary haze pollution, even without full scientific certainty, precautionary measures shall be taken by Parties concerned.
States and businesses have distinct but complementary responsibilities under the UNGPs. These principles apply to all States, and all businesses regardless of their size, sector, location, ownership and structure.Comprising 31 principles, the UNGPs are organised under 3 pillars —. The three pillars define the duties of States and businesses to protect human rights. Each pillar provides a set of actionable steps to ensure the protection of human rights within the context of business operations.
Pillar 2 underlies the importance that businesses, having a separate but related responsibility to respect human rights, avoid causing or contributing to adverse human rights impacts through their own activities, and address such impacts when they occur; and seek to prevent or mitigate adverse human rights impacts that are directly linked to their operations, products or services by their business relationships, even if they have not contributed to those impacts.
