SLDP is proud to present a guide, developed in partnership with Human Rights Watch, on human rights compliant procurement practices for UN humanitarian agencies in Syria. Our research revealed that despite requirements under international law and the UN’s own guidelines to ensure that procurement is consistent with human rights, UN agencies operating in Syria do not sufficiently incorporate human rights principles in their assessment of suppliers and partners. This exposes them to a significant reputational and actual risk of financing abusive actors and/or actors that operate in high-risk sectors without sufficient safeguards.
