In today'?s globalised world, the relationship between human rights
and investment is an important societal and legal issue. This
Research Handbook unravels this complex interaction and sheds light
on all of its dimensions; it takes stock of the impact that
investment operations can have on human rights and it examines how
international law addresses, and contributes to, this complicated
interplay. Taking a unique approach, the Handbook contains
insightful chapters that provide analyses of specific international
law regimes, with a particular focus on international investment
law standards and investor-state arbitration. It also offers
in-depth discussions of the corporate and home State
responsibilities that can result from the activities of
multinational corporations. Sectorial and regional case studies are
also explored; they provide a grounding for the more theoretical
aspects of the Handbook and highlight the key industries, such as
the agricultural and extractive industries, that are prone to human
rights violations. Academics, practitioners and policy-makers, with
an interest in human rights law, international economic law and the
activities of multinational corporations, will find this Research
Handbook to be an important resource in their daily research and
practice. Contributors include: D. Baumann-Pauly, A. Berkes, L.
