Radu Mares has an LLD (2006) and a MIL (1998) from Lund University, Sweden. He is senior researcher at Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights, in Lund, specialised in the area of business and human rights. His work focuses on ways to strengthen the protection of human rights and good governance in the Global South. His preferred approach is to deliberately keep in the picture both governmental and private entities, both law, public policy and corporate practices, so their interaction can be studied, synergies can be captured, and their effectiveness be enhanced. Mares has written on the justification of the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, on the relation between law and self-regulation, on corporate responsibilities in the mining industry and supply chain contexts.
