O Envolvimento de Corporações Transnacionais em Violações de Direitos Humanos
A globalização resultou em uma expansão das relações econômicas, de forma que as empresas passaram a exercer o domínio para além das fronteiras dos países sede, comandando a economia internacional e relativizando a soberania dos Estados. Isso tem contribuído para que violações de direitos humanos por transnacionais não sejam prevenidas ou remediadas. Muitos países onde as violações ocorrem não possuem instituições fortes o suficiente para impedir tais violações ou para responsabilizar as empresas. A comunidade internacional, na tentativa de solucionar o problema, apresentou os Princípios Orientadores para Empresas e Direitos Humanos aprovados pelo Conselho de Direitos H...

Agents of Orthodoxy
The Portuguese Inquisition is often portrayed as a tyrannical institution that imposed itself on an unsuspecting and impotent society. The men who ran it are depicted as unprincipled bandits and ruthless spies who gleefully dragged their neighbors away to rot in dark, pestilential prisons. In this new study, based on extensive archival research, James E.
