The 3rd UN South Asia Forum on Business and Human Rights is set for 28-30 March. It will bring together governments, businesses, and civil society organizations to discuss South Asia’s most pressing development challenges, with the aim of fostering joint action to prevent, mitigate and remediate business-related human rights abuses and advance the decent work agenda in South Asia.
Sessions will cover a wide range of themes, including addressing human rights abuses in the informal economy, mandatory human rights due diligence, rights-based COVID-19 recovery, environmental crises, and shrinking civic space and the resulting challenges faced by rights holders, human rights defenders and youth activists. It will also feature Safe Space Sessions for closed door discussions among CSOs, businesses, trade unions, and national human rights institutions.
The Forum is co-organized by the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights, the United Nations Development Programme’s Business and Human Rights in Asia and the International Labour Organization, with support from the Government of Sweden.
