The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
Foundations and Implementation
Biographical note
Radu Mares (LLD (2006), LLM (1998)) is senior researcher at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, in Lund, Sweden, specialised in the area of business and human rights. His work focuses on ways to strengthen the protection of human rights and good governance in the Global South. His preferred approach is to deliberately keep in the picture both governmental and private entities, so that the interaction between law, public policy and corporate practices can be studied, synergies captured, and their eff ectiveness enhanced. Dr. Mares has written on the justification of the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, on the relation between law and self-regulation, and on CSR in the mining industry and supply chain contexts.
