[On Tuesday 16 November 2018 in Geneva, during the open-ended intergovernmental working group for the elaboration of a proposed business and human rights treaty, the second day of the fourth session saw:]

• EU delegation meeting civil society…

• Side event [organised by the Center for Research on Multinational Corporations (SOMO) was] cancelled due to…EU member states’ reluctance to exchange on this topic…

• [The hottest topic on the table remains why the binding treaty only includes transnational…corporations in its scope.]

• Affected communities speak up…on how to ensure real access to justice.

• [The Chair Rapporteur] takes French duty of vigilance law as a good example [and] experts exchange on what due diligence means.
