More than ten years after the adoption of the UN Guiding Principles
on Business and Human Rights, this book critically reviews the
achievements, limits and next frontiers of business and human
rights following the 'protect, respect, remedy' trichotomy. The UN
Guiding Principles acted as a catalyst for hitherto unprecedented
regulatory and judicial developments. The monograph by Macchi
proposes a functionalist reading of the state's duty to regulate
the transnational activities of corporations in order to protect
human rights and adopts a holistic approach to the corporate
responsibility to respect, arguing that environmental and climate
due diligence are inherent dimensions of human rights due
diligence. In the volume emerging legislations are assessed on
mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence, as well as
the potential and limitations of a binding international treaty on
business and human rights. The book also reviews groundbreaking
litigation against transnational corporations, such as Lungowe v.
Vedanta or Milieudefensie v. Shell, for their human rights and
climate change impacts. The book is primarily targeted at academic
and non-academic legal experts, as well as at researchers and
students looking at business and human rights issues through the
lenses of legal studies (particularly international law and
European law), political sciences, business ethics, and management.
Additionally, it should also find a readership among practitioners
working in the public or private sector (consultants, CSR officers,
legal officers, etc.) willing to familiarize themselves with the
expanding areas of liability, financial and reputational risks
connected to the social and environmental impacts of global supply
chains. Chiara Macchi is currently Lecturer in Law at Wageningen
University & Research in The Netherlands.
