Across Asia, corporate-related human rights and environmental harms continue to persist. Yet, communities who bear the most harm face great barriers to justice and remedy, especially when companies operate across borders.
🇺🇳 The UN Legally Binding Instrument (LBI) on Business and Human Rights offers a critical opportunity to strengthen the rules that hold these corporations accountable. But for the treaty to deliver justice, those who bear the harm must shape it.
✊ Join Manushya Foundation, ALTSEAN-Burma, ESCR-NET, Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP), FORUM-ASIA, and the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Development, as we unpack what the treaty could change for Asia, and how frontline communities can engage more actively in shaping it.
Moderator: Debbie Stothard, ALTSEAN-Burma and ESCR-Net
Speakers:
‣ Surya Deva, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Development
‣ Emilie Palamy Pradichit, Manushya Foundation
‣ Shohel Hajong, Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact
