The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to understanding the extent to which the United Nation Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the National Action Plan (NAPs) guidance influence the domestic processes of framing, agenda setting and multi-stakeholder participation (MSP) in Chile and Mexico. This research finds that there is little influence of the UNGPs in how each country frames and sets the agenda on Business and Human Rights, as the countries remain with a traditional view where only the state is responsible for the protection of human rights. The thesis argues that the countries’ political and economic context, affected the way in which the decision-making actors engaged with the UNGPs.
