(This article was completed just prior to the report's release)...With his interim report due out any day soon, Ethical Corporation has looked at Professor Ruggie’s public statements to date to try to work out what might be in it. While Ruggie himself was unavailable for an interview, we have spoken to a number of experts in the field of business and human rights to find out what the report should contain. [includes comments by: - Daniel Litvin, author of the book “Empires of Profit, Commerce, Conquest and Corporate Responsibility” - Bennett Freeman, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State - John O’Reilly, former vice-president of BP where he worked as head of the company’s operations in Indonesia]
