United Nations

UN Working Group  on Business and Human Rights urged governments to improve record on business and human rights ahead of the Eight Annual Forum on Business and Human Rights in Geneva the 25th to 27th November. 
 
The Working Group and UN human rights experts warn the governments that human rights 
abuses by business cannot put off action any longer. Governments have to take concrete and effective measures to end business-related human rights abuse and to create policy coherence at all levels – national, regional and global.
 
The experts urge the governments to lead by example in their own economic roles as owners, purchasers, trade financiers and investors.
