International legal standards for the protection of human rights in international business
Absztrakt
The thesis under consideration reflects an examination of concerns with the regulation of human rights protection issues in international business. This topic was chosen since the topic of international business and human rights is now on the UN agenda. Despite existing international legal standards in this area, there are no norms or effective processes under international human rights law that would allow people affected by corporate operations to access effective complaint mechanisms and effective remedies. In the absence of effective international legal regulation, the convergence of business and human rights necessitates immediate and thorough investigation to prevent future transgressions. The research also makes recommendations to states and businesses on how to put key parts of existing international legal standards into action in order to improve the human rights system.
