Description
In this session, we will explore matters relating to business and human rights from the perspective of in-house lawyers, who represent the views of multinational corporations at the forefront of this debate, and the negative impact of their activities on communities. With the aim to unite lawyers who work on both sides of this discussion, recommendations for better practices, made with human rights considerations at the forefront, will be made.
