[PDF] East African Roundtable for Business Leaders: Implementing Corporate Respect for Human Rights [summary report]

The Roundtable discussions highlighted key areas of high risks to human rights for companies operating in East Africa, as well as possible responses. Issues covered included equal treatment of the region's manifold ethnic groups, protection of the employees of suppliers and business partners, the use of land and the rights of the people who live and work there, and the misuse of a company's product such as technology.
