Business And Human Rights: From Principles To Practice

Business and Human Rights is the first book of its kind in this rapidly growing area of teaching and research. Over 30 contributors present a comprehensive and interdisciplinary overview of the topic. The clearly structured volume addresses current and future business leaders, students and teachers at law and business schools as well as a broader audience that would like to gain a better understanding of business and human rights. Illustrated throughout with case studies and snapshot features that highlight real-world examples, the book outlines the business and human rights movement, explores the legal framework for business and human rights, highlights the practical implementation challenges and standard-setting frameworks in different industries (manufacturing, ICT, private security, extractives, agriculture), and it discusses the future of the business and human rights field.
