Business and human rights will continue to receive significant attention and development in 2021. Take a look at what is on the horizon . . .
COVID-19: Vaccines are being administered in some countries but COVID-19 will continue to feature on the business and human rights agenda of 2021. Businesses will need to continue their due diligence into the human rights of all those impacted by their activities, including workers throughout their supply chains. They will also need to monitor premises; redesign the workplace; protect workers who cannot work remotely; engage with unions on key issues such as sick leave, furloughs, and downsizing.
Athens, Greece – Last October, the biggest trial of Nazis since Nuremberg concluded as Golden Dawn, the neo-fascist group which once held 18 seats in the Greek Parliament, was found guilty of forming and running a criminal organisation.
Giorgos Roupakios, a party member, was also found guilty of murdering 34-year-old Pavlos Fyssas, an anti-racism campaigner and rapper, in 2013.
It was a day of jubilation in the country, as Golden Dawn was finally held accountable for its years of violent attacks on immigrants, left-wing activists and even lawyers representing its victims.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis tweeted that it was an “historic” day for Greece, democracy, and the rule of law.
