15th Forum
Room AH, Tempus
Palais des Nations
The UN Forum on Business and Human Rights is the world's largest annual gathering on business and human rights. Since its inception in 2012, it has brought together every year thousands of participants from governments, business, civil society, trade unions, international organisations, Indigenous Peoples, affected communities, academia and others from around the world. Last year, there was a record number of over 4,600 registered participants, the vast majority in-person at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. Many others followed the discussions on UNWebTV. Centred on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), the Forum provides a unique multi-stakeholder platform for discussing key trends and challenges in implementing and advancing the UNGPs.
The Forum is guided and chaired by the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights, and is organized by its Secretariat which sits within Special Procedures at the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
