Global Witness and the Business and Human Rights Resources Centre co-hosted a event in Geneva on October 6, 2009, entitled "Follow the money: How companies are impacting human rights: corruption, payments to rebels, inequitable contracts, tax avoidance, transfer-pricing".
The event took place alongside a two-day United Nations' Consultation on Business and Human Rights.
The event focused on how the flow of money (or rather non-flow of money in the tax related cases) can undermine human rights in host states through: corruption and lack of transparency; payments to rebels; inequitable concession contracts; tax avoidance/evasion; and transfer pricing.
