Human Rights Explained

COURSE SUMMARY

With the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), companies’ responsibility to respect all human rights has been defined. GLOBAL CSR offers an intense two-day workshop, with in-depth capacity building on each of the human rights, from a business perspective. The workshop is based on the two International Covenants from the International Bill of Human Rights; The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Throughout two full days participants explore the content of each right and identify their function in practice in a business context. The workshop will be facilitated with a mixture of presentations, discussions and group work enabling the participant to work with a rights-based approach aligned with the requirements of the UNGPs.
