Book Launch: Human Rights Litigation against Multinationals in Practice

The Bonavero Institute of Human Rights and Leigh Day invite you to the launch of the book 'Human Rights Litigation against Multinationals in Practice' (Oxford University Press, 2021) edited by Richard Meeran. This book provides a thorough review of multinational human rights litigation in various countries where such litigation has been pursued, predominantly on behalf of victims in the Global South. It covers cases relating to environmental damage, occupational disease, human rights abuses involving complicity with state security, and in the context of supply chains and features contributions from the UK, South Africa, Canada, Australia, the US, the Netherlands, France, and Germany. Chapters come from highly experienced legal practitioners who have run many of the key ground-breaking cases, and who understand the opportunities and hurdles that arise in practice. In this roundtable discussion, contributors to the volume will provide perspectives and insights into the features of the relevant laws, procedures, and practical considerations in various legal systems.

This event will run as a Zoom Webinar. To attend, register here. Please note that this event may be recorded, with the exception of any live audience questions.
