To date there have been insufficient international legal mechanisms to bring corporations to justice for their misconduct abroad. The book argues that rather than trying to solve the problem locally, an international approach to corporate human rights compliance needs to be sought to prevent future corporate human rights abuses. Implementing effective and enforceable human rights compliance policies at corporate level allows businesses to prevent negative human rights impacts such as loss of revenue, high litigation costs and damage to reputation. By considering human rights to be an inherent part of their business strategy, corporations will be well equipped to meet national and regional business and human rights standards, which will inevitably be implemented in the next few years. This approach, in turn, also furthers the fundamental aim of international human rights law.Human rightsSocial responsibility of businessInternational lawTradeGlobalizationHuman Rightshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19020Corporate Social Responsibilityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/526010International Economic Law, Trade Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19050Globalizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912030Human rights.Social responsibility of business.International law.Trade.Globalization.Human Rights.Corporate Social Responsibility.International Economic Law, Trade Law.Globalization.340Wetzel Julia Ruth-Mariaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063975BOOK9910255200003321Human Rights in Transnational Business2535625UNINA
