Increasingly, states are embedding the corporate responsibility to protect human rights in law. The Business and Human Rights in Law website provides up-to-date information on both adopted laws and tabled legal proposals. It catalogues and describes litigation involving allegations of overseas harm. The website features a practical tool that facilitates the comparative analysis of legislative initiatives, across jurisdictions. Users can scan the globe for legal developments and lawsuits on a world map.
The website User Guide provides information about the types of legislation included on the
Laws page and the criteria used to assess legal reforms, an introduction to the litigation included on the
Court Cases page, as well as instructions for using the website's Compare tool.
