First International Workshop of Learning Lab in Public Procurement and Human Rights

The Public Procurement Research Group (Dr Aris Georgopoulos and Dr Annamaria La Chimia)  with the Harrison Institute at Georgetown University Law Center, the Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR) and the International Corporate Accountability Roundtable (ICAR) are co-organising the first International Workshop of the Learning Lab on Public Procurement and Human Rights. The Workshop will take place at the Palais de Nations in Geneva on Thursday 19 November.

The purpose of the Learning Lab is to facilitate the implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) in the context of public procurement.  The objectives of the first workshop include, among others, providing a global dialogue on public procurement and human rights in the context of the UNGPs, launching the Learning Lab’s mapping report of procurement and human rights in key jurisdictions, and gathering input on the purpose and scope of the future activities of the Learning Lab.
