About the Author
Penelope Simons is an associate professor at the Faculty of Law (Common Law Section), University of Ottawa, Canada. She has been engaged in research on corporate human rights accountability since December 1999 when she participated in the Canadian Assessment Mission to Sudan (Harker Mission), appointed by Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, to investigate allegations of slavery as well as links between oil development in Sudan and violations of human rights. Her research focuses on the human rights impacts of domestic and extraterritorial activity of extractive corporations, state responsibility for corporate complicity in human rights violations and the human rights implications of transnational corporate activity facilitated by international economic law. She is the co-author with Audrey Macklin of The Governance Gap: Extractive Industries, Human Rights, and the Home State Advantage (Routledge, forthcoming 2013) which examines the human rights implications of corporate activity in zones of weak governance and argues for home state regulation.
Graham Mayeda is an associate professor at the Faculty of Law (Common Law Section), University of Ottawa, Canada. His recent work has focused on the impact of international trade and investment law on developing countries. He is also interested in foundational issues in international law such as the role of global justice in structuring international legal regimes. In particular, he is interested in issues of justice raised by developing countries and methods for interpreting international law that can be more responsive to these claims. While on sabbatical at New York University Law School in 2011, he conducted research on the influence of Canadian, American and UK anti-terrorism policy on poverty alleviation and development work conducted by these countries. More recently, he has studied how international and domestic administrative law regimes can be used to promote and protect the interests of developing countries in international legal regimes. Outside of international law, his research has branched into legal theory, theories of judgment, social rights and public protest, and environmental law. He has a background in philosophy and specialises in East Asian and contemporary European ethics.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
