Research on sustainable development
The sustainable development agenda can contribute to the promotion of the implementation of human rights, just as human rights may risk getting caught up in a more general agenda towards achieving broader goals.
This is a complex area and therefore the Institute must possess in-depth knowledge of the relation between the Sustainable Development Goals and human rights protection. We must also have a profound understanding of the private sector as an actor operating in both the area of human rights and in sustainable development.
