Welcome to the Investment & Human Rights Learning Hub
The Learning Hub is an online space created to build understanding on investment, human rights and their connections. The Hub explores the implications that these connections have for the work of governments, commercial practitioners and civil society in ensuring the protection of and respect for human rights. The Learning Hub was launched in April 2014 as an initiative of the Investment & Human Rights Project (2013-2016) at the Laboratory for Advanced Research on the Global Economy (the Lab) and will continue to be run by Andrea Shemberg and Andrea Saldarriaga in their capacities as Visiting Fellows at the Lab.
With the Investment & Human Rights Map, the Hub proposes an innovative way to visualise and think about investment and human rights. Start exploring the Map, which will take you to tailored explanations of investment activities, human rights and their connections in each of the following areas:
- Understanding Human Rights
- Regulating Investment
- Resolving Investment Dispute

The Learning Hub also offers extensive information on: Arbitration, State-investor contracts and International Human Rights Law, along with a range of useful Tools:

- Expert articles offering analysis and insights from practitioners and leading experts on investment and human rights, highlighting key issues for practice; and
