Business corporations can and do violate human rights all over the
world, and they are often not held to account. Emblematic cases and
situations such as the state of the Niger Delta and the collapse of
the Rana Plaza factory are examples of corporate human rights
abuses which are not adequately prevented and remedied. Business
and human rights as a field seeks to enhance the accountability of
business - companies and businesspeople - in the human rights area,
or, to phrase it differently, to bridge the accountability gap.
Bridging the accountability gap is to be understood as both setting
standards and holding corporations and businesspeople to account if
violations occur. Adopting a legal perspective, this book presents
the ways in which this dual undertaking has been and could be
further carried out in the future, and evaluates the extent to
which the various initiatives in the field bridge the corporate
accountability gap. It looks at the historical background of the
field of business and human rights, and examines salient periods,
events and cases. The book then goes on to explore the relevance of
international human rights law and international criminal law for
global business. International soft law and policy initiatives
which have blossomed in recent years are evaluated along with
private modes of regulation. The book also examines how domestic
law, especially the domestic law of multinational companies' home
countries, can be used to prevent and redress corporate related
human rights violations.
