[PDF] Text of letter from Mary Robinson to corporate CEOs regarding public commitments to human rights

This year, the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, provides an ideal opportunity for companies to express their support for human rights. If your firm already has a human rights policy statement, I congratulate you. If not, I urge you to consider adopting one before December when I and others will give special recognition to companies that have made a specific commitment to human rights.
