Key objectives of the session:

• Offer an opportunity for advertisers, civil society, and other stakeholders to understand and apply human rights due diligence to the advertising industry.

• Explore how human rights standards provide both a framework for States considering regulatory options as well as guidance for companies in determining how to ensure that advertising is ethical and rights-based.

• Unpack how businesses, particularly advertisers and media, can support human rights-based narratives on those who are marginalised as well as related societal issues.

• Deliberate on the possibility of building a "big tent" to push back against hatred and disinformation and uphold freedom of expression and other human rights.
