#justtransition #BHRE #BHR #bizhumanrights #CfP #internationallaw @pil
The UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights just concluded a visit to Argentina. We had constructive and much-needed conversations between civil society organizations, academics, and indigenous people on environmental issues, SLAPPs, workers' conditions, and damage to health caused by agribusiness, mining, and extractive industries.
The preliminary report of the group (in Spanish) can be found at https://www.ohchr.org/es/press-releases/2023/03/argentina-must-uphold-human-rights-protections-business-activities-even-amid

The Legacy of Antônio Augusto Cançado Trindade: Towards Building a New Jus Gentium
In this post, the author highlights the main contributions of judge Cançado Trindade in academia and as a judge. The author highlights his concerns about putting a person at the centre of International Law and how, in his separate opinions at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and the International Court of Justice, he advocated for the humanization of International Law.
Our side session has been approved, so we will lead this workshop at the OECD RBC forum next year.
The objective of this workshop is to strengthen technical capabilities and provide tools to ombudsperson's offices and human rights and environmental defenders in the area of responsible business conduct.
