[Privsec] Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA)

[Ralf Bendrath]

 From another list (from the Incommunicado conference), thanks to Robert 
Guerra:

"Rights & Democracy has launched the Human Rights Impact Assessment 
(HRIA), an initiative that seeks to develop a practical methodology for 
assessing a business venture's impact on human rights in developing 
countries before the ground is broken and operations begin. The project's 
working methodology is based on the UN Human Rights Norms for Business."

Does anyone know if this includes a privacy dimension?

I could not find anything about the HRIA on their webisite 
(http://www.dd-rd.ca/frame2.iphtml?langue=0).

Would be nice to cooperate here and relate this to the WSIS stocktaking 
and indexing efforts.
