Amnesty International is seeking a consultant to develop a policy paper for the organization that assesses how companies acting as monopolies can affect people’s ability to enjoy human rights.

This analysis should inform the drafting of a policy paper setting out possible positions on the use of competition/antitrust law as a tool to advance corporate accountability and the protection of human rights.
