Joint Committee on Human Rights (JCHR): Business and Human Rights

May 27^th 2009

On 6 March 2009 the Joint Committee on Human Rights (JCHR) decided to inquire into business and human rights. The inquiry examined the way in which businesses can affect human rights both positively and negatively; how business activities engage the relative responsibilities of the UK Government and individual businesses; and whether the existing UK regulatory, legal and voluntary framework provides adequate guidance and clarity to business as well as adequate protection to individual rights. The Commission submitted evidence to that inquiry:
