Efforts are being made to help US companies interested in investing in Myanmar to understand the ongoing challenges in terms of human rights in the country.

In this interview with Mizzima’s Aung Thura, Miss Claudia Flores from the International Human Rights Clinic talks about the purpose of the group’s programme, during a visit to Myanmar in the middle or March.

Firstly, what is the purpose of this presentation and discussion on US business reporting requirements for Myanmar?

Today, we wanted to have a discussion with some of the groups, NGOs and other advocates who are working here in Myanmar on workers right, supporting labour movements and human rights. We came because the University of Chicago Law School International Human Rights Clinic has been doing a research project on the legal efficacy of the US reporting requirements for US investment in Myanmar.
