Ground Truth | Business and human rights: new challenges, new rules?
The concept of Business and Human Rights (BHR) has entered an era dominated by geopolitical competition. What constitutes harm, and how it should be addressed, is increasingly contested. As a result, BHR’s focus has shifted from just reputation management to one that includes market access, supply chain resilience and resource nationalism in a fragmented global economy. In this episode of Ground Truth, Control Risks experts examine the weaponisation of human rights, conflicting laws and outcomes-based rules. We also explore what organisations can do when caught between governments that demand opposite things, with human rights as the justification on both sides. Speakers: Dr James Sinclair , Head of Business and Human Rights, Control Risks Claudine Fry , Partner, Geostrategic Advisory, Control Risks
