Codes of Conduct and Corporate Social Responsibility: Global Strategies for Global Compliance
July 8, 2010 – NYC
http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/law/events/Codes-of-Conduct-and-Corporate-Social-Responsibility.html
This Third Annual Conference on International Employment Law is a special workshop focused on the issue of multinational employers’ global codes of conduct and corporate social responsibility [CSR] initiatives.
NOTE: The IWS Documented News Service is committed to helping the Rwanda Tribunal garner more attention world-wide. The lessons and legacy of ground-breaking legal matters related to the unspeakable events in Rwanda should not be forgotten. Humans, whether from rich or poor countries, must remain vigilant in curbing the motivations that lead individuals and groups to violent hatred and barbaric acts against a class of people. Consequently, items about this tribunal, which will end shortly after 2010, will appear from time to time on this news service.
