To accompany its major report, Not Fit-For-Purpose, MSI Integrity partnered with Harvard Law School’s International Human Rights Clinic in the cross-posted blog series, “Rethinking Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives.” The series shares critical perspectives on MSIs from a range of voices, with a particular focus on whether they are working for rights holders and whether we need to rethink the role of MSIs as human rights tools.
Read the introduction to the series by Tyler Giannini and Amelia Evans here, and closing reflections in this Q&A with Amelia Evans and Teddy Ostrow of MSI Integrity.
