It first examines the responsibility of States in controlling transnational corporations, emphasizing both the limits imposed by the protection of the rights of investors under investment treaties and the potential of the US Alien Tort Claims Act and other similar extra-territorial legislations. It then turns to self-regulation by transnational corporations, through the use of codes of conduct or international framework agreements. It then discusses recent attempts at the global level to improve the human rights accountability of corporations by the direct imposition on corporations of obligations under international law. Finally, it considers the use of public procurement policies or of conditionalities in the lending policies of multilateral lending institutions in order to incentivize TNCs to behave ethically. Altogether, the book offers a rigorous legal analysis of these different developments and critically appraises their potential."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aStudies in international law (Stockholm, Sweden) ;$vv.12. 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aInternational business enterprises$xLaw and legislation 606 $aInternational business enterprises$xSocial aspects 606 $aSocial responsibility of business 606 $2International human rights law 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aInternational business enterprises$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aInternational business enterprises$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business. 676 $a346.0662 702 $aSchutter$b Olivier de 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450777303321 996 $aTransnational corporations and human rights$9807136 997 $aUNINA
