Resources on Investment Practices and Human Rights
Interested in investment policies, human rights and the global economy? Teaching international business, private international law or development and human rights this fall? The London School of Economics hosts a nifty website -- the Investment and Human Rights Learning Hub -- that provides an entrée into the topic, including lots of graphics for visual learners and thinkers. Here's background info from the site:
"The Learning Hub is an online space created to build understanding on investment, human rights and their connections. The Hub will explore the implications that these connections have for the work of governments, commercial practitioners and civil society in ensuring the protection of and respect for human rights.
The Learning Hub is dynamic. It will develop over time, and there is much to explore already. With the Investment & Human Rights Map, the Hub proposes an innovative way to visualise and think about investment and human rights. Start exploring the Map, which will take you to tailored explanations of investment activities, human rights and their connections in each of the following areas:
- Understanding Human Rights
- Regulating Investment
- Resolving Investment Dispute
- Financing Investment
- Designing Investment Strategies
The Learning Hub also offers extensive information on: Arbitration, State-investor contracts and International Human Rights Law, along with a range of useful Tools.'"
