The human rights of communities in many resource-rich, weak
governance States are adversely affected, not only by the acts of
States and their agents, but also by powerful non-State actors.
Contemporary phenomena such as globalisation, privatisation and the
proliferation of internal armed conflict have all contributed to
the increasing public influence of these entities and the
correlative decline in State power. This book responds to the
persistent challenges stemming from non-State actors linked to
extractive industries. In light of the intersecting roles of
multinational enterprises and non-State armed groups in this
context, these actors are adopted as the primary analytical
vehicles. The operations of these entities highlight the practical
flaws of existing accountability regimes and permit an exploration
of the theoretical challenges that preclude their direct legal
regulation at the international level. Drawing insights from
discursive democracy, compliance theories and the Pure Theory of
Law, the book establishes a conceptual foundation for the creation
of binding international obligations addressing non-State actors.
Responding to the recent calls for a binding business and human
rights treaty at the UN Human Rights Council, and the growing
influence of armed non-State actors, the book makes a timely
contribution to debates surrounding the direction of future
developments in the field of international human rights law.
