Stakeholders respond to UN Working Group call for inputs for report on corruption, business & human rights

The UN Working Group on Business & Human Rights is conducting multi-stakeholder consultations to prepare for its report to the 44th session of the Human Rights Council in June 2020. 

It seeks to clarify how corruption involving the private sector impacts rights holders in terms of corruption being linked to, causing or contributing to human rights abuses. The report will also examine what measures and good practice can be taken by States, business and civil society to address corruption when it does negatively impact human rights in the context of business related activity, with respect to both prevention of negative impacts as well as in providing access to effective remedy.

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre published the Working Group's call for input and this story will follow the developments of this initiative.

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre also has a portal of useful tools and resources in relation to corruption, business, and human rights.
