    Dear Academy Colleagues,

    We invite you to:

    Business and Human Rights: Measuring and Tracking Progress
    Business and Human Rights

     

    with Denis Arnold, Harry Van Buren, Elisa Giuliani, Kathleen Rehbein, organized by  Tricia Olsen, Kathleen Rehbein & Michelle Westermann-Bahaylo

    Session Type: Symposium

    Program Session: 1892 | Submission: 11118 | Sponsor(s): (SIM, IM)

     Tuesday, Aug 9 2016 11:30AM - 1:00PM at Anaheim Marriott in Elite Ballroom 3



    In today's globalized economy, multinationals are increasingly asked to take responsibility for various social and environmental issues that were once regarded as the purview of the state, including human rights issues. With the UN Human Rights Council endorsement of the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights in 2011, a consensus has emerged in academia and practice that corporations do have human rights obligations (the so- called "corporate responsibility to respect human rights") (Baumann, 2015). The Guiding Principles affect management practice and raise many fundamental questions about the role of private actors in global governance in general and the implementation of human rights commitments in corporations in particular. Although corporations are increasingly aware of the necessity for anticipating and addressing human rights concerns through the development of human rights policies and contributions to peace building activities in conflict and post conflict zones (Giuliani & Macchi, 2014), corporate efforts often fail to address or eliminate human rights concerns.
