New York, 11 Oct 2012: "Business and Human Rights in the Middle East and North Africa"

In the context of changes underway in the Middle East & North Africa, there is understandably a focus on the human rights conduct of governments in the region.  However the private sector plays an increasingly influential role.  This ground-breaking event shone a light on ways in which companies in the region are impacting human rights and the environment.

The event was the third in the Mary Robinson Speaker Series on Business & Human Rights, hosted annually in New York City by Business & Human Rights Resource Centre.

Featured speakers were Mohamed Nagi, Director of the Habi Center for Environmental Rights in Cairo, and Sarah Leah Whitson, Executive Director, Middle East & North Africa Division, Human Rights Watch.  They were introduced by Mary Robinson.  The Resource Centre's Middle East Researchers Rania Fazah and Sa'eda Al-Kilani also made remarks.
