Business and Human Rights Lawyers Association

BHRLA responses to allegations member Clifford Chance risks links to human rights abuses over Saudi World Cup bid assessment

[November 1]

The Association is an educational organization that aims to inspire and advance business and human rights leadership, learning, collaboration and practices among commercial law firms and business lawyers around the world. We recognize the need to accelerate the dissemination of good practice in this field. We encourage law firms and lawyers to recognise both their and their clients’ responsibility to respect human rights in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights - and to integrate this responsibility into their client services across commercial legal areas, operations and other activities.

The Association seeks to implement our vision in three ways: through education and capacity building, peer learning and collaboration, and leadership and dissemination.

The Association does not have the resources or mandate to do so. We also note that our member law firms and lawyers are of course subject to professional and other regulations. A number of our member firms have publicly committed to adhere to relevant standards such as the UN Guiding Principles and the UN Global Compact, report publicly on how those commitments are implemented, and have undertaken human rights risk and/or materiality assessments in pursuit of such commitments. Through peer learning and other educational activities, the Association aims to assist our members to integrate the responsibility to respect human rights into their operations and activities....
