Overview

The aim of the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre "online library" is to provide easy access (through links) to a wide range of materials on subjects relating to business and human rights. It is set up so you can easily search by country or region. There is little specific information on labour law and practice, but is useful for finding about current CSR initiatives or topical human rights issues affecting businesses operating in the country in question.
