Dear Ms Malmström, 
Last month, members of the United Nations negotiated elements of a binding instrument on 
business and human rights in Geneva. Before the meeting, it seemed as a window of 
opportunity to go beyond mostly voluntary means as established by the UN Guiding 
Principles on Business and Human Rights. What are the results of this meeting? Is the 
window of opportunity still open? And how about the position of the European Union? 
We will discuss these questions at our upcoming sef: Policy Lunch on 20 November 2017, 
hosted by the Development and Peace Foundation (sef:) and the International Alliance of 
Catholic Development Agencies (CIDSE).  
Speakers already confirmed are  Art.4.1(b)
