Al-Haq would like to extend an invitation to the Human Rights Council side event “Access to justice and corporate complicity in human rights abuses”, hosted by the International Commission of Jurists with the support of Geneva for Human Rights, FIAN International and Al-Haq.

The event will mark the fifth anniversary of the Human Rights Council adoption of the Framework “Protect, Respect and Remedy”, and the publication of the ICJ Report on “Corporate complicity in international crimes”. It will highlight the fact that the business and human rights agenda in the Human Rights Council remains unfinished, especially in the critical areas of access to justice and accountability, as well as the need for bold Council action to provide States and other actors with the necessary tools to ensure remedy and justice to victims of serious human rights abuses committed by or with the complicity of corporations in home and host countries.
