Summary:
"This book is intended to assist lawyers in navigating the developing area of human rights due diligence (HRDD). It explores the key components and requirements of the HRDD process, considers practical implementation of HRDD into corporate practices and policies, and treats key topics and cross-cutting issues related to HRDD. The 15 chapters in this book should therefore further lawyers' understanding of HRDD and allow them to advise their business clients in a manner that aids those clients with adoption and implementation of good practices to enhance their effectiveness in addressing their potential and actual human rights impacts"--Provided by publisher.
