Human Rights Litigation Against Multinationals in Practice
This book provides a thorough review of multinational human rights litigation in various countries where such litigation has been pursued, predominantly on behalf of victims in the Global South. It covers cases relating to environmental damage, occupational disease, human rights abuses involving complicity with state security, and in the context of supply chains. The volume is edited by Richard Meeran, who pioneered the first series of tort-based multinational parent company cases in the 1990s and whose firm, Leigh Day, has been at the forefront of this area for almost 30 years. Contributions come from highly experienced legal practitioners in the countries in question who have run many of t...
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) on 10 December 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly marked a groundbreaking moment in the field of international law. Not only would it start to move away from its original conception as an exclusively State-centered domain: it would also mark the progressive transformation of international law into a law for humankind. This instrument started a codification and institution-building process that would slowly evolve into a complex framework of treaties, bodies and procedures revolving around the protection of the human being against the actions – or omissions – of the State. This commentary provides a specific analysis and reflection of how each one of the rights enshrined therein have evolved over time.
Human Rights and Environmental Sustainability in State-Owned Enterprises
This book presents case studies on the human rights performance of state-owned enterprises from four Latin American and three European countries, as well as foreign investments by Chinese state-owned enterprises on these continents. State-owned enterprises are considered among some of the worst perpetrators of contamination and corporate human rights violations around the globe, both domestically and abroad. This volume examines whether companies implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and how their state owners regulate or incentivize their human rights compliance. Studies cover different sectors ranging from finance to extractives and air transport in Brazil, Chile...
Business and Human Rights
Business and Human Rights Law is a rapidly growing area of law, which has dramatically transformed many parts of international law. In this new volume in the Elements series, Robert McCorquodale explores how the responsibility for human rights abuses has transitioned from a purely state obligation to also being the responsibility of businesses. Business responsibility for human rights impacts have become subject both to legislation and to court decisions whenever their activities lead to human rights abuses anywhere in the world. This book shows the importance of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in these developments, and examines their influence on international, regio...
Biodiversity Litigation
Biodiversity is in accelerated decline and urgent action is needed. In 2020, the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity ended, and none of its Aichi Targets were met. Despite the legally disappointing situation on a global level, the role of national courts in adjudicating climate change litigation is showing potential for effective mitigation and adaptation, and judges have become key actors in linking internationally agreed goals with tangible national commitments to mitigate climate change. Can this pursuit of globally agreed goals at a local level be transposed and lead a similar trend for biodiversity governance? This edited collection gives readers an overview of the shape and reach of biodiv...
International anwendbare Streitgenossenschaftsgerichtsstände
Obwohl der Gerichtsstand der Streitgenossenschaft manchen Rechtsordnungen schon seit mehr als zwei Jahrhunderten bekannt ist, stellt das Institut auch heute noch Rechtsprechung und Lehre vor große Herausforderungen. Die vorliegende Arbeit möchte einen Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis des Instituts sowie zur grundlegenden Frage leisten, ob es sich empfiehlt, einen solchen Gerichtsstand überhaupt in das Recht der internationalen Zuständigkeit aufzunehmen. Dazu wird in einem ersten Teil ein umfangreicher Rechtsvergleich zwischen dem englischen, französischen, österreichischen und dem europäischen Recht vorgenommen. Im zweiten Teil erfolgt eine umfassende Analyse der involvierten Zuständigkeitsinteressen. Im dritten Teil wird die Diskussion um eine praktische Facette, die Debatte um die sogenannten «Menschenrechtsklagen» gegen Unternehmen, ergänzt.
