Warwick Law School News

James Harrison from Warwick Law School and co-author Mark Wielga (from Nomogaia) have been awarded this year’s best scholarly article prize by the Business and Human Rights Journal. The article compares the effectiveness of six grievance mechanisms that allow workers and communities to complain about human rights abuses that corporations have allegedly perpetrated against them.

They talk about the article in this short video.

The Selection Committee for the award commented:

“The authors address a critical and under-researched topic and shed light into whether and under what conditions MSI grievance mechanisms actually work and deliver upon their commitments to rights holders. The selection of this article for the prize recognizes the importance of comparative, empirically driven research on outcomes in business and human rights, and whether at the end of the day, policies and initiatives actually work in the interests of those they purport to serve.”

Congratulations James and Mark.
