 I am delighted to pass along these bits of interesting news from the OHCHR's Business and Human Rights Section:

• Official launch of the OHCHR Helpdesk on Business and Human Rights: The OHCHR Helpdesk on Business and Human Rights (BHR Helpdesk) is now live! The BHR Helpdesk is a free and confidential service open to all who have questions about the meaning and application of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Please consult the BHR Helpdesk portal for information on how to submit a request or support the initiative. 

 

• Internship opportunity (application deadline: 16 May): Our section is currently recruiting an intern to support our work on business and human rights. We would greatly appreciate your help in circulating the announcement within your networks. Applications may be submitted through Job Opening 274702 on Inspira.

 

• New resources forthcoming: In the coming weeks, we will release several new BHR resources, including on: 
• the use of digital tools to support stakeholder engagement
• investors and the arms sector
• diversity, equity and inclusion policies
• the involvement framework.

A more comprehensive update will be shared once these resources become available.
