Laws academic speaks at International Corporate Governance Law Forum
16 May 2016
Barnali Choudhury gave a talk and moderated a session at the International Corporate Governance Law Forum recently held in Hong Kong
The Forum, entitled âReflections on Voluntary Corporate Governance Codes: Is it now time to move on from a âsoft lawâ approach to a âhard lawâ approach?â critically evaluated whether voluntary compliance with good corporate governance practices is the most effective way of ensuring that corporations act responsibly.
Barnali spoke on the issue of business and human rights in this context.  Her talk, âBusiness and Human Rights on the Continuum of Soft to Hard Lawâ, examined whether (and how) business and human rights initiatives should be hardened from their dominant position in soft law.
