Human Rights and Investment Law: What Does Meaningful Progress Look Like?
8 December 2021
9:30am - 10:30am (ET) - Zoom The negative impacts of int'l investment treaties and ISDS on the human rights of those affected by investment are well-documented, as are the constraints placed by investment treaties on the duty of states to regulate. Civil society organizations, human rights defenders, researchers, and Special Procedures of the UN Human Rights Council (among others) have advanced pathways for addressing these impacts along with visions for rights-based economic governance frameworks. What does real progress at this intersection of human rights and investment look like? What are our end goals? Which major shifts in law, policy, and outcomes on the ground should our collective attention be focused on? CCSI will be joined by distinguished panelists to discuss the evolving human rights and investment law landscape and whether we are making sufficient (and sufficiently fast) progress in redesigning investment frameworks that advance, rather than undermine, human rights and responsible investment.
