贵国是否采取了一些您认为特别成功的行动来减少企业对人权的负面影响？请给出一个或多个实例。
Bulgaria is a State Party on every international treaties on human rights. In 2009 Bulgaria passed a National Strategy on Corporate Social Responsibility. Since then Bulgaria follows the European common policy on CSR in the context of Business and Human Rights. Bulgaria is not a big country with population of less than 7 million people and has no many public or private international enterprises that operates on areas in risk of human rights abuses. Therefore Bulgaria implements the human rights and fundamental principles adhering the international and domestic law tenets.
贵国政府中哪个/哪些部门主要负责工商业与人权事务？
There is no specific body which is to be responsible for the issues concerning Business and Human Rights. At the time being the accountability on B&HR is divided by MFA and MLSP. One of the steps ahead is that among the recommendations on the last CSR strategy is the setting up of specific body which would deal with B&HR issues.
2011年6月《联合国指导原则》获得通过后，贵国是否采取了新的工商业和人权举措或加强了已有举措？
No.
贵国是否制定了联合国人权理事会和工商业与人权工作组所倡导的《国家工商业与人权行动计划》，或者是否打算这样做？
Bulgaria has not adopted a National Action Plan yet. The NAP is under consideration. However MFA and MLSP have not taken decision about the place of the future NAP. The question is should the Nap be integrated within the new CSR strategy or it has to be independent paper passed by the government.
如果贵国已经制定国家行动计划或打算这么做，请重点说明这些举措是否参考国际人权标准，制定时是否与受影响的利益攸关者进行了磋商。
The future NAP will endorse all the international principles in the area of B&HR and it will be adopted after public consultations with all stakeholders
补救途径: 采取了哪些举措推出新的司法或行政性补救手段，或减少受害者使用现有补救手段时面临的障碍？
Even one Bulgarian international enterprise is not a defendant among any cases concerning human rights abuses worldwide. Our expertise is focussed on domestic cases of human rights abuses and until now the victims use the common measures of remedy as judicial mechanisms, non – judicial mechanisms in case of intolerance as well as international committees established by the international human rights treaties such as Committee against All Form of Discrimination Against Women, Human Rights Committee, etc.
您的政府采取了什么行动去改善非司法补救措施？
In 2014 Bulgaria established National Mechanism on Human Rights which is a inter government body uniting all human rights stake holders including NGOs. This independent body will deal with HR&B issues as well as means of redress and remedy.
