"Fair Food Program takes United Nations Annual Forum on Business and Human Rights in Geneva by storm…", 30 Nov 2015
Phil Bloomer, Executive Director of Business and Human Rights Resource Center: CIW’s Fair Food Program “a powerful example of the Protect, Respect, and Remedy pillars (of the UN General Principles)”... Praised variously as “inspiring”, “impressive”, and “powerful”, the Fair Food Program was lifted up by the panel organizers as a model with “so many lessons to learn for cases around the world.”...The event began with an introduction by UN Working Group member Dante Pesce (far left, above), who laid out the purpose of the panel: "… We’d like to highlight experiences that actually can inspire and can demonstrate that it’s possible to actually create mechanisms that can prevent or avoid negative [human rights] impacts, and when negative impacts do occur, there are actually mechanisms in place for judicial or non-judicial remedies for solving those problems."
