Important new policy frameworks call on governments to ensure
respect for human rights by businesses and to secure a transition
to sustainable consumption. Public procurement accounts for a
significant share of the global economy, and nearly 30% of
government expenditure across OECD countries. But what are the
obligations of the state to protect human rights when it acts as a
buyer? And how can procurement be used to drive respect for human
rights amongst government suppliers? This engaging book reflects on
these important questions, from the dual disciplinary perspectives
of public procurement and human rights. Through legal analysis and
practice-focused case studies, the expert contributors interrogate
the role and potential of public procurement as a driver for
responsible business conduct. Highlighting the character of public
procurement as an interface for multiple normative regimes and
competing policies, the book advances a compelling case for a shift
to a new paradigm of sustainable procurement that embraces human
rights as crucial to realising international policies such as those
embodied in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
and 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Topical and
thought-provoking, Public Procurement and Human Rights will be an
essential read for academics and students of human rights law,
public procurement law, and business and human rights, as well as
practitioners in public procurement and sustainability, and
government officials. Contributors include: B.S. Claeson, E.
