This website aims to highlight these key international developments, unpack them, and make them accessible to decision-makers and the public.

...BHRinLaw provides an online platform for information on State-driven initiatives to codify the corporate responsibility to respect human rights and enhance access to remedy by highlighting developments in mandatory human rights due diligence and parent company accountability from around the world.
