Abstract

This paper offers a critical analysis of the interrelation between business and human rights. Corporations are at the same time holders of human rights (e.g. under the European Convention of Human Rights) and could be considered - in a similar way to the States - as having the duty to ensure and protect human rights.

Keywords: business and human rights, international law, european court, corporations, global justice, global law, droit global, entreprises, droits de l'homme
