A group of U.S. and international human rights organizations today called on the U.S. government to put a greater focus on achieving freedom from want by implementing its obligation to protect, respect, and fulfill economic and social rights.
We invite you to join us at a special public forum to highlight the importance of strengthening the voice and capacity of those whose human rights are affected by business, focusing particularly on the development and utilization of new documentation, advocacy tools, strategies and tactics.
Lettre à l'attention du Professeur John Ruggie, Représentant spécial du Secrétaire général chargé de la question des droits de l'homme et des sociétés transnationales et autres entreprises.
The U.S. commitment to freedom from want requires the government to take specific action in its fiscal and monetary policies to prioritize full employment and to ensure that third party behavior does not compromise human rights.
