About us
Building a corporate ecosystem conducive to respecting human rights
The A2J Lab at the Macquarie Law School brings together leading business and human rights experts, practitioners, law students and external organisations to work together to promote corporate respect for human rights and access to justice for individuals and communities.
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 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 affected communities, businesses, civil society organisations, foundations, lawyers, trade unions, UN agencies and universities.
