"Corporate Criminal Liability – Workshop on the Business and Human Rights Treaty at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid", 1 Jul 2015

...I had the privilege to participate to a workshop on the proposed business and human rights treaty...The workshop brought together both supporters and opponents to the treaty from around the world, and perhaps more importantly given that the drafting process is clearly under way at this point, led to interesting discussions with regard to the contents of the future treaty. In my presentation, I chose to talk about the issues related to the possible inclusion of corporate criminal liability for international crimes in the future business and human rights treaty. I aimed to answer three questions:(1) Why including corporate criminal liability for international crimes in the future business and human rights treaty? (2) How to do it? (3) What are the main remaining questions that would have to be solved before proceeding?...
