- Synopsis
- This book investigates how human rights lawcan be applied to corporate entities. To date there have been insufficientinternational legal mechanisms to bring corporations to justice for theirmisconduct abroad. The book argues that rather than trying to solve the problemlocally, an international approach to corporate human rights compliance needsto be sought to prevent future corporate human rights abuses. Implementing effective and enforceablehuman rights compliance policies at corporate level allows businesses toprevent negative human rights impacts such as loss of revenue, high litigationcosts and damage to reputation. By considering human rights to be aninherent part of their business strategy, corporations will be well equipped tomeet national and regional business and human rights standards, which willinevitably be implemented in the next few years. This approach, in turn, also furthers thefundamental aim of international human rights law.
