Business and Human Rights in Transition from Conflict to Peace
Friday, 8 July, 2016
A panel discussion among an academic, a company representative and practitioners, held on 21 June 2016, hosted by the Oxford Business and Human Rights Research Network and the Business and Human Rights Resource Centre. How can business support or hinder the process of peace-building after armed conflict? This panel discussion looks at the role of the private sector in countries emerging from conflict. An academic, a company representative and practitioners engage with questions of corporate complicity and accountability in transitional justice settings, as well as the way in which companies may contribute positively to creating peace. Panellists: Professor Sabine Michalowski, University of Essex, School of Law Irene Pietropaoli, Business and Human Rights consultant at Amnesty International in Myanmar Jo Zaremba, Livelihoods Officer at the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Yves Nissim, Vice-President, Head of Transformation and Operation in CSR at Orange Moderated by Maximilian Spohr, Max Planck Foundation for International Peace and the Rule of Law In this blog, organisers Anneloes Hoff (Oxford Business and Human Rights Research Network) and Isabel Ebert (Business and Human Rights Resource Centre) reflect on the issues discussed by the panel. https://business-humanrights.org/en/business-and-human-rights-in-transition-from-conflict-to-peace
