This is an emerging conse nsus on the international level. But how does this operate in practice? Wh at does it mean that a private company is bound by human rights? And what do we mean by human rights in the field of business and who\, finally\, sh all enforce the respective obligations? The seminar will address these iss ues from a practitioner’s perspective. The focus will be on what companies can do in order to ensure compliance with human rights obligations and re duce liability risks as a component of a sustainable company policy.\n\nBi ography \n\nKilian Bälz is a partner at Amereller and is based in Berlin a nd Dubai.
