This looks interesting. Circulated by TUC.Business & Human Rights Resource Centre is pleased to invite you to an event featuring leading human rights lawyers: Martyn Day (UK) & Paul Hoffman (US). Both have brought landmark lawsuits against companies. They will be speaking on the same stage for the first time, and fielding questions from the audience.
Martyn and Paul will share:
• highlights of past cases;
• inside view of current cases;
• comments on what more should be done to hold companies accountable under law; and
• what they would say to companies wishing to avoid such lawsuits.
This event is not only for lawyers – it is equally for those from NGOs, business, government, media, investment firms, academia, etc – for anyone with an interest in human rights.
Martyn Day has brought human rights lawsuits against a number of companies...
