FAU Human Rights Podcast #31 - Business and Human Rights in conflict-affected areas

How should companies act in order not to be complicit in human
rights violations? This question is particularly sensitive when
companies operate in countries where active hostilities are
taking place. There, the field of Business and Human Rights meets
International Criminal Law. In this episode, Dr Kateryna
Buriakovska of Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University in Charkiw
(Ukraine) and Visiting Researcher at FAU gives an insight into
her research particularly on the question: When should a company
leave a conflict-affected area? I.e. when is responsible
disengagement the right choice for a company in order to exercise
its human rights due diligence? A case in point is the
disengagement of Telenor group from Myanmar.
