The objective of this course is to help participants understand what human rights are, why they are universal and inalienable and how they relate directly to the business world. The course addresses the impact of businesses on human rights, particularly in the context of supply chains, and explains how human rights violations arise, how they can be prevented and why human rights due diligence approaches are critical.
The course aims to help participants learn about global frameworks such as the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the UN Global Compact, recognize the responsibilities that companies and individuals can assume in protecting human rights and become advocates for practices that strengthen human rights within their organizations.
