The overall theme of the event is ‘Implementing Human Rights in complex environments’. Conducting human rights due diligence is particularly difficult in conflict and post-conflict contexts. Beyond avoiding harm, companies also have a positive responsibility, namely to contribute to peace building most relevant in Colombia.
Co-hosted with Geneva School of Economics, the seminar will feature panel discussions exploring academic and industry insights on human rights in illegal mining; human trafficking; drug trafficking; refugee rights; etc.
