This book is a practical guide to understanding the multifaceted nature of Business &Human Rights. It provides a snapshot of critical issues that populated the B&HR agenda in 2023, offering case studies to be applied in academic and professional contexts.

This book explores the interface of Business and Human Rights with other practice areas, such as antitrust, arbitration, artificial intelligence, investment law, finance, private international law, professional ethics, labor law, sports law, venture capital, among others. It presents contributions from a diverse and international group of academics, researchers, and practitioners in Europe, Asia, and South America.
