Скачать или смотреть The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (Asser Winter Academy 2019)

As the field of business and human rights grows, more and more dialogue, debate, and teaching is needed to improve the quality of doing business. The Winter Academy offers the opportunity to learn and grow in this field by investigating the many ways in which business can thrive while protecting the environment and respecting human rights. It equips a new generation of professionals with the necessary theoretical and practical skills to do business right.

The one-week academy will feature high level academic lecturers who are currently shaping the scholarly debates on business and human rights and practitioners with a hands-on experience in the field. It is suitable for lawyers, NGO activists, corporate advisers, government officials and researchers.

Why is it important?
After the adoption of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in 2011, new national laws are being adopted, new corporate codes are being drafted, and a new international treaty is being negotiated to define and regulate the responsibilities of businesses for human rights. The Academy will help participants develop an understanding of soft and hard, legal and non-legal accountability mechanisms through numerous interactive sessions that provide the opportunity to apply theoretical insights to various concrete case studies.
