[DOC] Sir Geoffrey Chandler tribute by Lord Joffe

It is a great honour for me to have been asked to speak at Geoffrey’s Memorial Service...He talked of the contribution that business could make to human rights with penetrating intelligence and passion. I was so inspired that I asked if I could be useful to him. It was clear to me that if there was a single person able to persuade business that human rights should be an important consideration in their decision making, it was Geoffrey. Only he had the mix of business experience, skills, courage, passion and persistence to take on such a daunting challenge...Running through Geoffrey’s career, the hallmarks of his work were his principles, his humanity, his belief in justice and honesty, his ability to understand and present opposing views fairly and objectively, his courage and his compassion, and his remarkable ability to find solutions to difficult problems.
