The registration is now open for the International Seminar on Business and Human Rights which will take place on 4 & 5 December 2008 in Paris, France ^[1] to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
This will be a key international opportunity to review global progress on this issue over recent years and chart the developments ahead. The event will bring together business, political, civil society and trade union leaders as well as diverse learning from around the world.

Speakers & Programme
Confirmed senior representatives to share their expertise at the Seminar include:

Plenary and interactive sessions:
4 December 2008 – Global Challenges of our time; a Business and Human Rights Framework

Background
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948, so the Paris location has been chosen as a deliberate tribute to this.
Building on the success of the Business and Human Rights Seminars organized in London ^[2] in 2003, 2004 and 2005 (www.bhrseminar.org ^[3]), this year’s Seminar is organised by a multi-stakeholder International Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is coordinated by the secretariat of the Business Leaders Initiative on Human Rights (BLIHR), a programme to help developing the corporate response to human rights and Entreprises pour les Droits de l’Homme (EDH), a francophone business-led initiative inspired by the work of BLIHR.
