At #HRC59, @UNDP shared how it supports governments & #biz in putting human rights at the 💙 of #AI:
👩⚖️ Robust laws & policies
🏦 #HRBA in public procurement
🔎 Human rights due diligence
Investments that respect #HumanRights equally benefit businesses & societies, contributing to sustainable development.
Great insights on mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, reconstruction in Syria & business impacts on Indigenous communities at @UNDP#RuleofLaw mtg
Great discussion on responsible investments, grounded in realities of fragility and reconstruction. A call to amplify support for businesses to mitigate #HumanRights risks, esp. in crises.
Strong quote from @VWGroup: If you think compliance is expensive, try non-compliance.
