Conference on Business and Human Rights to take place on May 12th, 2014 [Skopje, Macedonia]

The Center for Regional Policy Research and Cooperation “Studiorum” organizes a Conference “Business and Human Rights” on the 12th of May, 12.30-15.30h at the University American College – Skopje in Skopje. The conference is envisaged as a parallel country event to the annual Global Compact event on Children’s Rights and Business Principles scheduled to take place on the same date in Nairobi, Kenya. The purpose of the event is to open a discussion in Macedonia on this internationally very hot issue, as it is still very much overlooked in this national context, and as the links between business and Human Rights are not recognized, nor are some issues identified as resulting from this relationship and interplay. Moreover, the UN Guiding Principles are rarely talked about, mentioned or even known in the country, even among Human Rights activists. This is why Studiorum decided to do a translation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in Macedonian language, and which will be promoted and distributed at this event...The registration for this event is open until Friday, May 09th, 2014. If you wish to attend this event, please state your interest by phone (+389(02)3065837) or by e-mail (to biljana[at]studiorum.org.mk ).
