The Human Rights Research and Education Centre (HRREC) is pleased to partner with Professor Penelope Simons to present this event as part of the Gordon F. Henderson Chair Business & Human Rights Speakers Series:


Reading human rights in Canada’s investment treaties


With guest speaker, Professor Ibironke Odumosu-Ayanu from the University of Saskatchewan.


Business and human rights frameworks are emerging as primary mechanisms for assessing and navigating human rights engagements in business and human rights implications of business activities. There are also recent and ongoing changes to investment treaties including the turn to express human rights provisions in these instruments. In a three-part assessment, this paper reviews and analyzes the language in some of Canada’s most prominent and debated investment treaties.
