🗯 It's a great privilege to help facilitate the European Citizens' Panel on Tackling Hatred in Society - the issue of countering (political) hatred could hardly be more timely, pressing and important. 🎯 During this 3rd session the randomly selected and diverse panel of citizens from all across the EU will focus on condensing what they have learned and discussed throught the two sessions into practical recommendations to the European Commission. 💡 To learn more: https://lnkd.in/ectX334t #EuopeanUnion #NoPlaceForHate #UnionofEquality

🌿The final session of the European Citizens´ Panel on Tackling Hatred in Society started a few moments ago! Building on the foundation laid in two previous sessions, the 150 randomly selected citizens from all 27 Member States will finalise their recommendations for the EU Commission. 💡Our diverse panel brought forth a wealth of perspectives, highlighting ideas to prevent and address hate on an individual, societal and instutional level. This includes ideas for the support for hate victims, a strengethening of civic engagement and accountability, education and awareness raising as well as media and technology. 📢Join the Panel Plenary here: https://lnkd.in/e2mnsQuJ 🤝 We would like to take the chance and thank the team of the European Commission for making this European Citizens' Panel possible: Dana Spinant Colin Scicluna Ingrid Bellander Todino Richard Kuehnel Joachim Ott Gaëtane Ricard-Nihoul Tommaso Chiamparino Carlos Pérez Padilla Francesco Savastano Lucia de la Riva Lauzurica Diana Jalea Sophie Donnelly Daina Naujokaitė and many more. #EuropeanUnion #NoPlaceForHate #UnionofEquality

The Special Issue of BHRJ on 'Business and Human Rights in Central and Eastern Europe' is a worthwhile read and it clearly shows that #bizhumanrights is not 'practised' the same way everywhere and so its implementation globally is a varied and complex process. As Beata Faracik Jernej Letnar Černič and Olena Uvarova aptly explain in their Editorial, disparities in attitudes, geo-political and historical contexts play an important role and, consequently, the adoption of Business and Human Rights (#BHR) agenda in CEE has been slow and uneven. In many ways, it is in stark contrast to how the language of BHR is used and its normative expectations affect behaviour patterns in many other regions. Certainly, the jurisdictions I've had an opportunity to work in and the case of Aotearoa New Zealand is a good example in point, it is often the #businesses themselves that 'lobby' governments to change regulatory systems for a myriad of reasons, from moral to gaining a competitive advantage to levelling a playing field. Learning from the experiences of others working in this field has practical implications for the effective integration of #humanrights into business practices wherever they take place, which is essential for attaining #sustainability in all its dimensions, including economic growth. However, even if the aim is global, the road to it is paved with local and regional actions and efforts. Rebekah A.

A must-read piece to understand why the uptake of UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights has been lagging in Latvia as well. Every region has its strengths and weaknesses and Latvia faces challenges unique to itself. But surely there are common barriers that we face here in the region.
