Business and Human Rights in Times of War and Conflict The Power of International Advocacy
Welcome to this session on business and human rights in times of war and conflict. Moderated from Geneva, this panel examines how corporate activities can become entangled in human rights violations in conflict zones, drawing on landmark cases like Chiquita and LaFarge. Experts from leading global law firms explore the tension between staying or exiting crisis-affected regions, and the growing pressure from mandatory human rights due diligence laws. They also discuss how international arbitration could integrate these obligations into investment treaties. Join us as we uncover the vital role of international advocacy in safeguarding human rights.
