In recognition of the importance of the subject matter, the United Nations Secretary General has appointed a special representative to work in this area. The book discusses the current trend by MNCs to self regulate by employing voluntary corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy. Olufemi Amao argues that the CSR concept is insufficient to deal with externalities emanating from MNCs' operations, including human rights violations. Amao maintains that for CSR to be effective, the law must engage with the concept. In particular, he examines how the law can be employed to achieve this goal. While noting that the control of MNCs involves regulation at the international level, it is argued that more emphasis needs to be placed on possibilities at home, in States and host States where there are stronger bases for the control of corporations. This book will be useful to academic scholars, students, policy makers in developing countries, UN, UN Agencies, the African Union and its agencies, the European Union and its agencies and other international policy makers"--Provided by publisher.Routledge research in corporate law.International business enterprisesLaw and legislationDeveloping countriesCorporate governanceLaw and legislationSocial aspectsSocial responsibility of businessDeveloping countriesInternational business enterprisesLaw and legislationCorporate governanceLaw and legislationSocial aspects.Social responsibility of business346/.065091724BUS010000BUS068000LAW000000bisacshAmao Olufemi1880610MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957461603321Corporate social responsibility, human rights and the law4494678UNINA
