On May 20, USCIB participated in a consultation on the Global Digital Compact (GDC), organized by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). 

USCIB’s Vice President for Digital Policy Cheryl Miller joined Swedish Permanent Representative to the United Nations Anna Karin Eneström and Zambian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Chola Milambo. 

USCIB highlighted strong points and encouraged the drafters to align the human rights language with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) to strengthen the language regarding multistakeholder participation while also discussing the concern over the new language on data governance and AI.  

Miller also provided an intervention on May 21 at the Stakeholder Consultation.  

“Overall, the Revision One Draft improves upon the Zero Draft, and business appreciates the opportunity to continue to help strengthen the GDC,” said Miller.
