To commemorate the joint publication by the Geneva Centre for Security Sector Governance (DCAF) and the ICRC, with the support of the Swiss Embassy in Tokyo, a ceremony was held at the Swiss ambassador’s residence. Representatives from various Japanese companies, the diplomatic circle, universities, non-governmental organizations, think tanks and media participated in the event that marks Japan’s commitment to promoting responsible business practices among Japanese corporations operating abroad.
Swiss ambassador Andreas Baum gave a welcome address and highlighted the need for a practical tool that translates existing principles into good practices. He acknowledged the toolkit as a part of the ICRC’s efforts towards promoting and strengthening international humanitarian law (IHL) and universal humanitarian principles.
