In this research work, an analysis of the scope of the National Action Plans (NAP) on Human Rights (HR) and Business implemented in the Americas to 2020 was carried out, starting from the origin of the concepts resulting from the concern about the role of business in its relationship with human rights, which has its antecedents in the 1970s, The research problem is framed by the fact that the previous initiatives of the United Nations and the Global Compact failed to reach the political consensus required to achieve international recognition; On the contrary, the debate was polarized and their formal adoption was prevented, without achieving any binding international standard. Under this approach, global NAPs have been slowly implemented on a voluntary basis and in the Americas in the countries of Colombia, the United States and Chile. Therefore, the general objective was to analyze the scope of the NAPs on HR and Business implemented in the Americas by 2020, by describing, identifying and characterizing the existing experiences in the three selected countries. Through a qualitative research, classified as legal, dogmatic, whose realization implied the collection and bibliographic tracking of secondary information and the realization of a normative and theoretical hermeneutic exercise, through the descriptive study, concluding with the analysis based on the comparison of the selected experiences, This can help countries that have not yet implemented their plans to critique the effectiveness data already presented and to get closer to what these experiences have in common and what distinguishes them, since despite the significant achievements, these norms have no binding effect and human rights violations continue to occur.
