Corporate responsibility for human rights
Over the past decades globalisation has stirred a number of positive and negative developments in national and international environments. An important feature of globalisation is the rise of the economic, social, cultural and political power of corporations. As there is an urgent need for practical and victims-oriented solutions hic et nunc in the area of human rights and business, this book concentrates on fundamental human rights. This study argues that corporations have normative obligations in relation to fundamental human rights, for which there possibly appears to exist a value consensus across different cultures and societies around the world. This study argues that the normative thrust of fundamental human rights obligations of corporations derives primarily from national legal orders and secondarily from the international level, whereas both draw their foundations from an international value system. Thirdly, this study argues that corporate human rights obligations may also derive from corporate unilateral commitments. It argues that corporations should be held accountable for violations of human rights law.
