FORUM ON BUSINESS AND HUMAN RIGHTS

Since its first session in 2012, the annual UN Forum on Business and Human Rights has brought together thousands of participants from governments, business, civil society, trade unions, communities, international organizations, lawyers and academics from around the world. Centered on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (Guiding Principles) - the authoritative global framework for states and companies to prevent negative impacts on human rights arising from business activities - the Forum provides a unique multi-stakeholder platform to discuss key trends and challenges in implementing and advancing the Guiding Principles.

Established by the UN Human Rights Council, the Forum is guided and chaired by the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights. It is organized by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

IOPDHR participates in the work of the Global Forum on Business and Human Rights, notably on the implementation of obligations, responsibilities and remedies. The 12th annual Business and Human Rights Forum kicked off with the first day of discussions at @UN_HRC.
