B&HR Access to Justice Lab
Building an ecosystem to promote corporate respect for human rights
We conduct research, develop practical tools, build capacity of various stakeholders, and assist affected individuals and communities in seeking access to justice for corporate human rights abuses.
Priorities
The B&HR Access to Justice Lab (A2J Lab) at Macquarie University promotes corporate respect for human rights in Australia, Asia and the Pacific. We do so by building a corporate ecosystem that facilitates:
- respect for human rights
- access to justice for human rights abuses.
About us
The A2J Lab brings together leading business and human rights experts, practitioners, law students and external organisations. We work together to promote corporate respect for human rights and access to justice for individuals and communities affected by business activities.
We seek to bridge power imbalances between corporations and communities by conducting research, developing practical tools, building capacity and offering pro bono assistance to affected rightsholders to seek access to justice for corporate human rights abuses.
Through its various activities, the A2J Lab contributes to building a more just and equitable society.
To develop effective remedial solutions to address corporate human rights abuses, we work with a diverse range of stakeholders, such as academics, affected communities, businesses, civil society organisations, foundations, lawyers, trade unions, governments and UN agencies. We also offer selected law students an opportunity to collaborate with us.
