This course focuses on doctrine, practice and strategies for the implementation of human rights protections in the context of business activities.\u00a0 The course offers an intensive introduction to key concepts and emergent jurisprudence in the field.<\/p>\n

Aside from providing a doctrinal basis, the course exposes students to practical sessions that allow them to think strategically about campaign design, negotiation tools, and to consider the broader spectrum of tools to implement human rights protections in the context of business activities. The focus of this course is on practical tools.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We will work with case studies and practical activities that reinforce doctrinal learning. We will use methods of collaborative problem solving such as design thinking. We will participate in an immersive negotiation workshop, based on real negotiation experiences and devised to provide an intensive introduction to fundamental negotiation methods.<\/p>\n

Through simulations, seminars and activities with a focus on “learning by doing, we will combine a variety of tools, considering barriers to implementation of human rights protections in the context of business activities, obstacles to effective remedies, and the importance of understanding supply chains and funding sources in order to design human rights protection strategies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
