It's a mark of progress that we saw more rights holders as speakers at the UN Forum this year. Their voices call for urgent action on a host of critical issues.

While it's a mark of progress that we saw more rights holders as speakers at the UN Forum this year, their voices serves as wake up call that urgent action is needed on a host of critical issues to advance business respect for human rights. https://www.justground.org/news-ideas/rights-holder-voices-at-the-un-forum-on-business-and-human-rights-part-4-at-the-center #unforumbhr #bizhumanrights

ICYMI: One of the highlights we attended at last week's #UNForumBHR. "The importance of rights holder perspectives in the design of remedial mechanisms." Examples of what meaningful #HRDD can look like when it’s negotiated with workers.

"When you incorporate the voices of rights holders, everything changes. This realignment is needed on a much broader scale." - Gerado Reyes @CIW@twitter.com in his forthcoming article for the BHR Journal.

The #UNForumBHR panel on human rights defenders (HRDs) features Thai, Mexican, Peruvian, Ugandan and Indigenous Siberian speakers. @ManushyaFdn@twitter.com’s Nada Chaiyajit laments the impotence of National Action Plans (NAPs). The laws still repress HRDs thru SLAPPs & defamation charges.

Powerful presentation from our #IndigenousPeoples sister #UNForumBHR ✊🏽 When we defend our lands and resources we are met with violent attacks and serious human rights violations - killing, detention and violence against indigenous women and girls, torture and others. #STOP
