Legal Sources in Business and Human Rights
Legal Sources in Business and Human Rights engages with some evolving trends that are currently affecting the international and EU law sources in the field of Business and Human Rights. Three main dynamics are detected and explored: the emergence of international legal obligations that are also binding on corporations (Part I); the growing participation of corporations in traditional international standard-setting and law-making processes and, in parallel, the emergence of atypical and heterogeneous law-making processes (Part II); the formal or substantive hardening of originally soft normative standards, through a multi-layered and multi-player law-making process (Part III). Interestingly, these trends concur to mitigate States’ reluctance to accept binding rules in this field, and to strengthen the effectiveness of soft international regulation.

Jewel of the Rule
Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: Distinction, , language: English, abstract: In Defining the International Rule of Law: Defying Gravity the commentator McCorquodale assesses the characteristics of the International Rule of Law and whether such conceptual substance has criteria to be identified, thereby creating a definition for all of time. McCorquodale’s paper is to argue that a definition on the International Rule of Law can be set out, taking account of international and national legal systems and considers the objectives of the international rule of law and how these can be enshrined into the international system. He claims that, in its application, relativism is a prominent ingredient in how it is applied globally and despite debate, can be applied even if not completely actualized. He goes onto claim that its measure of compliance is based on a spectrum and not whether a country is simply complying or not.
