Business and human rights: Towards legal accountability: Speech delivered by David Petrasek, Senior Director of Policy, Amnesty International, 23 January 2003: "Public Eye on Davos".

In his speech, David Petrasek, Senior Director of Policy at Amnesty International, addresses three questions: why are voluntary efforts to hold companies accountable in relation to human rights insufficient; the degree to which existing international law already creates legal obligations on companies, and ways to strengthen the legal accountability of companies on human rights issues.\n\n\n
