Rights & Democracy Initiative on Human Rights Impact Assessment: Background note

Background note presenting the Rights & Democracy project on HRIA for investment projects.

"This three-year project will build on Rights & Democracy's work on making human rights a central pillar of economic policy making and investment practices. Its goal is to develop a human rights impact assessment (HRIA) model for use by both policy makers and communities to increase accountability and ensure that investment and project financing do not undermine international human rights laws and norms."
