This conference, supported by the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights, will examine the UN’s recent work on business and human rights issues, an area that has grown substantially in the last ten years. Highlights of the subject’s growth include:

• The United Nations’ establishment of a Working Group on Business and Human Rights
• The United Nations' adoption of the Guiding Principles for business and human rights
• Roles that corporations, civil society, and states can all play in advancing the cause of human rights.

This two day conference begins with a frank and practical discussion with leaders of business, civil society, and other organizations, led by Roger Branigin of the Global Corporate Community of Practice for Business and Human Rights. The second day continues discussion with experts in the academy, federal agencies, and members of the United Nations Working Group.
