On 12 December 2019, Judge Bruno Simma and the Drafting Team of The Hague Rules on Business and Human Rights will officially launch The Hague Rules at a symposium hosted by the PCA in the Peace Palace in The Hague. Judge Bruno Simma will hand over the first copies to Dr. Bahia Tahzib-Lie, Human Rights Ambassador of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ms. Saskia Bruines, Alderman of the City of The Hague. Do not worry if you are unable to attend the symposium, as you can also get a digital version of The Hague Rules here! Please click on the image below to access The Hague Rules.

What are The Hague Rules about?
The Hague Rules bear great promise as a new, consensual and flexible remedy mechanism for both vulnerable people and businesses in accordance with the UNGP-based corporate responsibility to respect human rights across the globe. The launch represents the culmination of years of work. We look forward to sharing The Hague Rules with you and discuss together how this new set of customized arbitration rules can contribute to filling the judicial remedy gap.
