In an era where corporations seamlessly navigate across borders, a new beacon of change emerges – BHR-Law.org, the brainchild of ICAR, the European Coalition for Corporate Justice, CORE Coalition, Above Ground, and Public Eye, has officially landed.

Why BHR in Law? Unpacking global innovations for Human Rights protection

In our interconnected world, protecting human rights faces unprecedented challenges.

Dive into aggregated data on legislation, case law, and ongoing legislative processes – your one-stop shop for staying in the know.

Stay up-to-date on technical developments, assess your country’s performance, and fuel policy development with real-time insights. It’s time for bolder action to protect human rights and provide justice for victims of corporate abuse!

The urgency is clear – governments must take bold steps. BHRinLaw.org is more than a website; it’s a call to action. Together, let’s embed corporate responsibility into law and champion human rights globally.

A website, yes; but sustainable

0.49g of CO2/view. That is the emissions of our website, which is approximately the equivalent of the amount of CO2 produced by boiling a small pot of water for tea or coffee.

Overall, we can proudly say that this website is cleaner than 49% of the pages tested. How do we know? Calculating the carbon emissions of the website is somewhat of a challenge, but the W3C Community has been working for many years to develop and refine a methodology for this purpose. The concept is to create measurable sustainability standards for the web. For more information on how it works and the methodology, check their site.
