In and Around War(s): Season 1, Episode 4: Business And War

The worst forms of business-related abuses often happen in the context of war or in conflict-affected areas. In Episode 4 of the podcast �In and Around War(s)�, the co-hosts � Paola Gaeta and Ana Srovin Coralli � discuss some burning legal issues in relation to business and war with S� Benjamin Traore, who is an Assistant Professor at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University in Rabat, Morocco, and an alumnus of the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights. They focus in particular on the African context, and examine the role of businesses in the perpetration of international crimes, business complicity in the commission of war crimes, and whether international humanitarian law and international human rights law impose obligations on businesses during wars.
