Enabling Economies of Peace - Public Policy for Conflict-Sensitive Business (Commissioned by the UN Global Compact, 2005)

Description

The aim of this report is to identify public policy options by which governments and international organizations can better assist private sector efforts to promote effective conflict-sensitive business practices, and do so in ways that make a demonstrable contribution to sustainable peace in the countries in which companies invest and operate. This report assesses the achievements and limitations of emerging private sector initiatives, identifies continuing gaps, and surveys the range of opportunities for complementary public policy action.
