The idea that businesses have human rights responsibilities has become widely accepted as the result of the efforts of the so-called “business and human rights movement”. How did this movement come into being? And how will it develop, going forward? As we prepare to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the speakers will reflect on the history and future of the BHR movement.
