Resumen: |
"Members of the UN Global Compact Policy Dialogue on Business in Zones of Conflict participate in a number of multistakeholder partnerships that seek to reduce or prevent violent conflict, manage the effects of conflicts, or rebuild a country previously suffering from civil conflict. Such partnerships bring together advocacy organizations and representatives of the business community in dialogue, developing principles and projects with a common aim. They often are facilitated by the participation of governments and international organizations. Multistakeholders partnerships are a recent phenomenon, only emerging as a vehicule for policymaking in the past decade. They often have been created out of the perceived tensions between the interest of business and the values of civil society groups. To many participants, they appear to be a way to overcome or negotiate those differences through building a constructive relationship. This report presents a set of case studies written by direct participants in the partnership described. Through these cases, the authors demonstrate the process by which the partnerships were created, the valuable benefits they provided, and lessons the authors learned that might be useful for others. Multistakeholders partnerships are still experimental, and potential participants are unsure of how or why they should pursue them. As quickly becomes clear on reading the cases, there is no one path or procedure for creating and maintaining such initiatives. The authors persuasively argue that these partnerships proved valuable to the partners. More importantly, they have the potential to provide significant benefits to the people living in zones of conflict. These cases can be used as models for future projects being contemplated by other UN Global Compact members. We present these cases in the hope that they will stimulate further creativity developing new modes of interaction in which business plays a positive role in areas devastated by violence, while promoting and upholding the principles of the Global Compact." |
