Summary: In a global economy, multinational companies often operate in jurisdictions where governments are either unable or unwilling to uphold even the basic human rights of their citizens. The expectation that companies respect human rights in their own operations and in their business relationships is now a business reality that corporations need to respond to. This book addresses these issues, examining the regulatory framework that grounds the business and human rights debate and highlighting the business and legal challenges faced by companies and stakeholders in improving respect for human rights.
