Since the start of the Russian war in Ukraine, many European companies have struggled with the challenges of conducting business in the region responsibly. Frankly Speaking has invited Olena Uvarova, Associate Professor at Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University, and Anita Ramasastry, Professor at the University of Washington School of Law and former member of the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights. The two leading experts share insights on the role of business in armed conflict, such as how the exit of international companies posed a threat to Ukrainians. They discuss whether there is any justification for business to stay in Russia and the difference human rights due diligence makes in responding to a global crisis, whether it’s a pandemic or an armed conflict.
