The Business & Human Rights Workshop is dedicated to the development and discussion of works-in-progress and other non-published academic research. Join us in discussion with Lisa J. Laplante (Professor of Law, New England Law, Boston) and John Katsos (Associate Professor of Management, American University of Sharjah) on how the private sector may assist in transitional justice and peacebuilding
Abstract
Businesses of all sizes play many roles in armed conflict, repression and other situations that lead to widespread human rights violations. Yet, when the violence ends and the arms are put down, only a handful of governments have considered how to involve companies in their transitional justice processes. This paper offers a taxonomy to help classify the different types of roles that companies play in episodes of the break-down of the rule of law and violent conflict and argues that this approach encourages governments to widen their focus to include the private sector in forward-looking peacebuilding processes such as community reconciliation, collective reparations, institutional reform, and even development.
Please register in advance of the talk below to receive advance access to the paper under development.
