Synopsis
This unit focuses on the impact upon human rights of business activities, particularly those of multinational enterprises, and accountability mechanisms for those impacts in international, transnational and domestic law. This topic is one of the most dynamic within the field of human rights, especially since the enactment of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in 2011. It is widely recognised that businesses cannot ignore the human rights impacts of their operations.
