Description

Traditionally, international trade has been seen as a way in which countries and individuals seek to exchange goods and increase wealth. However, recent global trends, including the environmental, social and governance (ESG) movement, have placed basic human rights at the forefront of all human interactions including within international trade.

It is with this view in mind that the panel will deal with three issues (there are more) that always should be tended to when conducting international sale of goods transactions: labour rights; gender rights; and environmental rights.
