Description

Business and Human Rights: Advising Clients on Respecting and Fulfilling Human Rights Alan S Gutterman ISBN 9781641058360

Business and Human Rights offers practical guidance for lawyers and professionals seeking to advise clients on implementing effective human rights due diligence in everyday business operations. Structured around the U.N.’s Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights—based on the “Protect, Respect, and Remedy” framework—this book walks readers through each stage of the due diligence process, including developing human rights policies and commitments, conducting impact assessments, integrating practices, measuring and tracking outcomes, and reporting on progress.

As clients increasingly seek counsel not just on “what is legal” but on “what is right,” this resource equips lawyers to provide thoughtful, strategic advice. It takes a comprehensive approach to potential client concerns, covering topics such as:

  • Understanding human rights and determining responsibility

  • International human rights law and the evolution of legally binding standards

  • The role of lawyers and law firms in advising on business and human rights

  • Assessing and mitigating businesses’ impacts on human rights

  • Developing human rights policies and commitments

  • Labor practices and rights at work

  • Supply chain management and accountability

  • Addressing discrimination and protecting vulnerable groups

  • Integration of human rights considerations into professional responsibility standards for lawyers

  • The impact of COVID-19 on human rights

  • And much more

This book is an essential resource for professionals seeking to guide clients toward responsible, ethical business practices while navigating the evolving landscape of human rights obligations.
