Schemel Forum Luncheon - Human Rights and Corporate Accountability
Friday, 29 April, 2016
SCHEMEL FORUM SPRING 2016 LUNCHEON SERIES
Human Rights and Corporate Accountability
Transnational corporations surpass borders. Though they contribute to economic development, their actions can result in human rights abuses, e.g. displacement of people, health repercussions, stripping communities of their livelihood options and even murder.
This talk will focus on major human rights abuses committed by corporations in recent years and some of the changes that need to be made to ensure that victims of these abuses have redress within the legal system.
