From Cornell Law Library's InSite current
awareness service, 5/23/2005:

"The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre
(BHRRC) is an international, non-profit organization
working in collaboration with Amnesty International
sections and leading academic institutions.
BHRRC’s mission is to promote greater awareness
and informed discussion of important issues relating to
business and human rights. The Resource Centre’s
website covers over 1800 companies, 160 countries,
and more than 150 topics in an online library which
includes a wide range of materials published by entities
such as non-governmental organizations; companies and
business organizations; the United Nations, intergovern-
mental organizations; governments and courts;
policy experts and academics; social investment analysts;
and journalists. Visitors may browse the collection by
category... Each document link consists of a brief
abstract and important bibliographic information, such as
the date of original publication and author name."
