This online consultation is to support the mandate of the United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) for business & human rights.  For an introduction to and information about the mandate, please visit his web portal.

This site was built specifically for the SRSG's mandate; it was created and is being maintained pro bono by students at the University of Western Ontario as part of their fourth year Design Project.

In the spirit of open dialogue, we encourage participants to identify themselves when posting (either through user profiles or in the comments themselves), and to be candid but respectful.  (Inappropriate comments will be removed in accordance with this site's Terms of Use.)  Recognizing that there are legitimate reasons why some cannot comment publicly, private correspondence can be submitted to moderator@srsgconsultation.org; a moderator will determine whether such input can be contributed to this forum without naming its exact source.

Unfortunately, we have not to date had the resources to translate this consultation.  We recommend free services like Google Translate; we have not used it for this site because of the extent of verification that would be necessary for the content.

If you do undertake translation for any of the content on this site, or can recommend high-quality pro bono services that might be able to do so, please notify us at admin@srsgconsultation.org.
