El artículo expone el resultado de indagar sobre la experiencia y la percepción de los empleados de organizaciones de la ciudad de Manizales frente a la ocurrencia de eventos constitutivos de vulneración de algunos derechos humanos, que competen a las relaciones internas en la organización. En la primera parte se exponen los antecedentes de la discusión sobre organizaciones y derechos humanos. En la segunda, se documentan los derechos estudiados y se describen los eventos que pueden constituir vulneración a ellos. En la tercera parte se describen los aspectos metodológicos, que muestran cómo el estudio es empírico y descriptivo y para su realización se aplicó una encuesta a 422 empleados de la ciudad. En la parte cuatro se describen los resultados, a nivel de cada derecho seleccionado y cada vulneración identificada. Se termina con la discusión y las conclusiones, en donde se argumenta que la vulneración de los derechos humanos estudiados en las organizaciones es una problemática social, en tanto el reconocimiento de la ocurrencia de eventos problemáticos es alto y está presente en todos los tipos de organizaciones y en todos los grupos de individuos que se consideraron. También se argumenta sobre cómo la relación dirigente / dirigido está en el centro del problema. Además, se propone como condición necesaria para avanzar en la reducción de la vulneración, que la comunidad de administradores, empresarios y académicos adelanten un proceso de revisión de la concepción de lo humano en las organizaciones. Al final, se proponen algunas problemáticas y líneas de investigación para avanzar en el desarrollo del tema.

With increasing international attention to business and human/child rights, the necessary next step must examine the monitoring of activities in order for the connection between business and child rights to be meaningful. Consequently, the essential question for this paper is whether business should use child rights impact assessments (CRIAs) and if so, what are some considerations in order to move forward? It is argued that the business must develop and carry out CRIAs in order to meet its due diligence obligations, and to identify and respond to potential and actual child rights impacts due to business activities. Business should use CRIAs as part of a broader process of supporting its organizational commitment to human rights. Other actors can also participate in this monitoring endeavour of business activities. This paper identifies some challenges and considerations of CRIAs in relation to business.
