What Are Human Rights - and Why Should Business Leaders Pay Attention?

Authored by Luke Wilde, CEO, twentyfifty

Human rights is one of the hot political topics of our time. The cold war ideological split between civil and political rights (the rights of democracy) and economic, social, and cultural rights (the rights of development) still runs deep, illuminated by the rise of China. Meanwhile, particularly in the UK, the topic has gained notoriety through alarmist media reporting and political sloganeering around the Human Rights Act, and limited understanding among the populace. Luke Wilde, Director at TwentyFifty, explains why a business leader would want to engage with such a contentious topic as human rights.
