The regulation of business in the global economy poses one of the main challenges for governance, as illustrated by the dynamic scholarly and policy debates about the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and a possible international treaty on the matter.

This text forms part of a long-term project undertaken by Dejusticia as part of its international work. The project revolves around the Global Action-Research Workshop for Young Human Rights Advocates that Dejusticia organizes each year to foster connections among and train a new generation of action researchers.

The International Corporate Accountability Roundtable (ICAR), the European Coalition for Corporate Justice (ECCJ), and the Center for the Study of Law, Justice, and Society (Dejusticia) are pleased to release an updated report on Assessments of Existing National Action Plans (NAPs) on Business and Human Rights (August 2017).

Two of our researchers contribute a chapter to a book by the International Center for Transitional Justice.

The report includes a comparative study of eight countries (Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Guatemala, East Timor, Sierra Leone and Liberia) that used transitional justice to judge crimes by corporate actors during armed conflicts.

Our Director, César Rodríguez, published the article "Reimagining Human Rights" in the Journal of International Law and International Affairs.

The book “Social Rights Judgments and the Politics of Compliance”, edited by César Rodríguez Garavito, director of Dejusticia, Malcolm Langford (Univ. Oslo) and Julieta Rossi (Univ. Lanús) was just published.
