Business and Human Rights

There is a rising popularity of the linkage of business and human rights. It's proponent is Mr. John Ruggie.



See his talk at the 10th Conference of NHRIs.

In the ASEAN region, I think of the production networks and the great impact this may have in human rights in the region. I also think of the ASEAN Economic Community and how they can help in bringing human rights into the forefront by bringing together economic integration and economic legal standardization.

I also wish to point out the existence of ISO 2600 which is the first ISO certification that requires human rights compliance.
