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."

The text of the background note is available in English and French. It is not yet available in Spanish, as the new website of Rights & Democracy is still in development on this point.
