[DOC] Ministry of Justice: The Private Sector and Human Rights Project - Summary of Meeting 17 Dec 2009 [UK]

This meeting follows the feedback event held on 12 November 2009…The purpose of this meeting is to consider how to move this work forward…One strong message to come out of the scoping study and feedback event is that the UK private sector would like clarification on how the Human Rights Act works, but would not welcome any further legislation…[I]t will be important to articulate the business case for respecting human rights, so that businesses view it as an opportunity rather than a burden…The EHRC is holding an event on 21 January 2010 to engage in further dialogue with businesses…It was agreed that the group will meet again in March 2010, to consider how to take the work forward.
