"Commerce, crime & human rights: Closing prosecution gaps", Jan 2015

When businesses engage in illegal conduct that results in serious human rights abuse, they rarely, if ever, are held to account...ICAR’s Commerce, Crime, and Human Rights (CCHR) project will develop recommendations for State practice in addressing these prosecution challenges for corporate crimes. The project will bring together a group of experts in criminal investigation and prosecution who will: (i) identify prosecution opportunities and challenges at the national level and (ii) develop a framework to govern State practice in addressing those gaps. In so doing, the project aims to establish a common baseline for how States should address corporate crimes.
