8th Session of the UN Intergovernmental Working Group on a proposed treaty on business and human rights

The 8th session of the UN open-ended intergovernmental working group on transnational corporations and other business enterprises with respect to human rights (IGWG) took place on 24-28 October 2022 in Geneva.

The Third Revised Draft and the concrete textual proposals submitted by States during the 7th session served as the basis for the discussions at the IGWG meeting. Prior to the session, the Chair also shared suggested proposals for amendments to several articles to facilitate the discussion.

In November 2022, after the 8th Session had ended, the Chair announced the release of the commentary on the informal proposals delivered at the 8th session (available in Spanish here), and a table that shows where elements of the third revised draft can be found in the informal proposals.

Recordings of the 8th session of the IGWG are available here on UN tv.

The report is available here.
