Reimagining Business, Security and Human Rights in COVID-Affected and Fragile Contexts, DCAF - ICRC

On May 20, 2021, the UN Principles for Responsible Management Education Working Group on Business for Peace welcomed Alan Bryden, Head, Business and Security Division, Geneva Center for Security Sector Governance (DCAF) and Claude Voillat, Economic Advisor, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to share how the two organizations work hand in hand to address security and human rights challenges faced by corporate actors in fragile contexts. Business operations in high-risk environments have never been easy. The speakers introduced the guidance documents published by the DCAF-ICRC partnership, their collaboration with institutional actors in the field of business and human rights, and on-the-ground initiatives for more robust security governance in the extractive sector.
