2015 United Nations Forum on Business and Human Rights: Draft Programme Outline Posted




I have been writing about the United Nations Forum on Business and Human Rights. (see here, here, here, and here). The Forum has been an important site for the meeting of key international stakeholders who tend to control the discussion about business and human rights in the international sphere. If for no other reason, that is reason enough for sustained attention to its proceedings.

The Secretariat of the Forum on Business and Human Rights has recently announced the publication of the draft program for the 2015 Forum on Business and Human Rights to be held in Geneva on 16-18 November 2015.  The announcement in English, French and Spanish follow.
