Second Regional Forum on
the Prevention of Genocide
March 16th, 2010
The Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) took part in a panel on the role of non-state actors at the
second regional forum on the prevention of genocide [3 pages, 147kb] in Arusha, Tanzania, on March 3-5, 2010.
The forum, organised by the governments of Tanzania, Switzerland, and Argentina, brought together over 90 participants to strengthen regional efforts aimed at preventing genocide and other mass atrocities.
IHRB Director of Policy, Salil Tripathi, spoke at the forum [21 pages, 570kb] about the roles and responsibilities of business operating in zones of conflict, as well as what states must do to ensure that non-state actors are not directly or indirectly involved in extreme situations such as genocide.
IHRB is currently launching a series of multi-stakeholder meetings to develop practical guidelines for companies operating in areas experiencing widespread human rights abuses.
