#OSCE supports summer school on human rights and business in #Astana
An OSCE-supported summer school session for law students and young researchers, focusing on the relationship between human rights and business, concluded on 17 August 2018 in Astana.
The three-day programme was organized by the OSCE Programme Office in Astana and M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University with support from the NGO “Legal Policy Research Centre”. During this summer session, 30 law students and young researchers from Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and the Russian Federation developed their knowledge of the role of the state, business and society in promoting human rights within the framework of entrepreneurial activities.
They familiarized themselves with key concepts and principles of sound business practice and how this practice may contribute towards the protection and fulfilment of human rights. Exploring international experience in developing action plans on Corporate Social Responsibility was also part of the session.
National experts presented relevant examples of labour protection and social partnership, consumer advocacy as well as environmental impact assessments.
The event is part of the Programme Office’s long-standing activities to support human rights education in the host country.
