Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Business and Human Rights: The Obligations of the European Home States by Dalia Palombo
This book argues for a reconfiguration of the relationship between multinational enterprises and individuals both of which have been profoundly changed by globalisation. It demonstrates that under the European Convention on Human Rights States have extraterritorial obligations to secure the rights of victims vis-á-vis European multinationals. It puts forward an innovative business and human rights litigation strategy that would allow for advocates to file cases against European states at the European Court of Human Rights. The goal is to empower victims from developing countries against European States which are failing to hold multinational enterprises to account for human rights abuses.
