[Issue includes Q&A with Mary Robinson; analysis of John Ruggie’s framework for business and human rights; articles on business and the impact of climate change on human rights; the promotion of improved labour standards by companies; and human rights issues and extractive companies in Dem. Rep. of Congo. Refers to Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Starbucks, Ashanti Goldfields Kilo (part of Anglo Gold Ashanti)]
