What's the role of constructive vs confrontational dialogue?
22 March 2023
What’s been the attitude of business towards human rights over the past 25 years? What have Amnesty UK and IHRB learnt from our experiences of getting business to act responsibly over this time? And what part does constructive or more confrontational dialogue play in all this?
In this episode you’ll meet Peter Frankental, an expert in human rights and business, and the Economic Affairs Programme Director at Amnesty International UK. Peter shares his reflections and lessons influencing businesses since the 90s.
Peter sat down with IHRB’s Salil Tripathi and Frances House to reflect on his time at Amnesty, having recently marked 25 years there. Peter started working at Amnesty at the end of the 90s when there was a sense of optimism for human rights - the Berlin Wall had fallen and globalisation was on a great march.
