Business and Human Rights in Transition from Conflict to Peace

How can business support or hinder the process of peace-building after armed conflict? This panel discussion looks at the role of the private sector in countries emerging from conflict. An academic, a company representative and practitioners engage with questions of corporate complicity and accountability in transitional justice settings, as well as the way in which companies may contribute positively to creating peace.
Panellists:
Professor Sabine Michalowski, University of Essex, School of Law
Irene Pietropaoli, Business and Human Rights consultant at Amnesty International in Myanmar
Jo Zaremba, Livelihoods Officer at the UN High Commissioner for Refugees
Yves Nissim, Vice-President, Head of Transformation and Operation in CSR at Orange
Moderated by Maximilian Spohr, Max Planck Foundation for International Peace and the Rule of Law
In this blog, organisers Anneloes Hoff (Oxford Business and Human Rights Research Network) and Isabel Ebert (Business and Human Rights Resource Centre) reflect on the issues discussed by the panel.
