EU Human Rights, International Investment Law and Participation
Operationalizing the EU Foreign Policy Objective to Global Human Rights Protection
Inbunden, Engelska, 2019

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book demonstrates how human rights obligations of the EU foreign constitution can be operationalized in the realm of international economic regulation. The content is divided into three major parts. The first outlines the legal foundations needed for the EU to become a shaper of international investment law, which include the general principles and objectives of EU external policies, the Charter of Fundamental Rights, international human rights and the international investment competences of the EU. The second part demonstrates the current international investment regime’s incompatibility with human rights interests, while the third analyzes two mechanisms stemming from trade Law – ex-ante human rights impact assessments and civil society monitoring bodies – and explores whether they could mitigate the current inequalities in the protection of rights. The potential of these mechanisms, the book argues, lies in their capacity to ensure a comprehensive assessment of all interests atstake, and to empower traditionally marginalized rights-holders to make, shape and contest the international investment regime.

Based on a series of themes and case studies, this book aims to illustrate the impact of sports policies and practices on individuals and their identities, and to analyze the potential solutions offered by International human rights law (IHRL) for these infringements. It bridges the gap between IHRL and sports studies, and will be useful to scholars in both fields, especially those unfamiliar with each other’s work. Furthermore, by investigating the context of sport and its governance, this collection offers a series of valuable insights, enabling the development of an interpretation of ‘law in context’ for legal scholars in the field of human rights. As the governance and regulation of sport are seen as illustrations of other forms of normativity, this book also contributes to the conversation about the transnational dimension of law and legal orders. In this respect, it illustrates that normative autonomy in the field of sport, associated with the idea of lex sportiva, tends to be relative regarding IHRL. The sporting environment is not disconnected from major contemporary social issues: it constitutes a public space in which injustices can be denounced, but also the theater in which prejudices are perpetuated against various parties, such as athletes or workers. IHRL commonly addresses attacks on individual dignity and social justice issues by guaranteeing rights to individuals and offering them protection mechanisms. In this context, can IHRL solve the problems encountered in the sporting environment? This is the question that animates this volume. This is an open access book.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This open access book consolidates a collection of scholarly papers presented at the academic conference titled "Corporate Human Rights Responsibility in OECD Case Law: Actors, Issues, Responsibilities, and Remedies", held on 4 and 5 May 2023. The conference was organized by the OECD Case Law Project at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.The book is divided into three sections. The first examines how NCP cases interpret corporate responsibilities, including financial institutions, on human rights and environmental issues, focusing on climate change and conflict-affected zones. It also highlights how OECD cases address corporate accountability and its impact on the revised OECD Guidelines and the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).The second section critically evaluates the NCP mechanism's effectiveness, assessing whether it provides substantive remedies and how well NCP mediation resolves disputes. It offers both quantitative and qualitative analysis of the grievance processes in line with UNGP effectiveness criteria.The third section explores the NCP’s role in global corporate responsibility frameworks, particularly its potential influence on shaping mandatory due diligence obligations through frameworks like the CSDDD, reinforcing corporate accountability in international business practices.Additionally, the book offers key recommendations for policymakers, NCP experts, and practitioners on improving the NCP system to ensure more meaningful outcomes for human rights violations.

Business and Human Rights from the Lens of Women
Voices from the Global South
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
1 511 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This groundbreaking book shines a light on a critical gap in the field of Business and Human Rights: the underrepresentation of women from peripheral countries. It begins by exploring how gender perspectives have shaped the development of this field—highlighting both theoretical contributions and practical tools aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Special attention is given to how women’s voices have influenced these developments. The book offers a unique analysis of the systemic barriers that hinder the publication and visibility of academic work produced by women from the Global South and other marginalized regions. These include challenges such as the burden of unpaid care work, language barriers, time constraints, limited economic incentives, gender-based discrimination, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of access to publishing information, bureaucratic obstacles, and maternity-related interruptions. By foregrounding these issues, the book not only amplifies voices that are too often unheard but also calls for a more inclusive and equitable future in business and human rights scholarship.

Corporate Accountability for Human Rights Violations
Civil Society and Transnational Activism across the World
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
542 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This edited volume is the first collection to critically explore the role, limitations, and internal fragmentation of social activism for corporate accountability across Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe. It analyses a variety of NGOs, trade unions, and grassroots movements and their transnational mobilizations for holding accountable business actors involved in human rights violations and environmental degradation. The book emphasizes the diverse visions and strategies extolled by these civic actors: from civil and criminal litigations, efforts to prohibit and punish business misconduct through national and international legislation, to boycotts, and memorialization projects. By adopting an actor-focused perspective and examining their national and transnational activism, the collection provides an innovative perspective across three main themes: civil society and social movements as key drivers of corporate accountability efforts; the fragmentation of the global corporate accountability movement across ontological, ideological, regional, and professional lines; the Janus-faced paradigm of transnational activism for corporate accountability. The volume argues that corporate accountability coalitions are successful especially when social actors form alliances across borders and professional sectors. Such transnational and intersectoral engagements create counter-hegemonic discourses against corporate impunity, push for more inclusive justice projects, and multiply spaces and ideas of accountability. Yet, civil societies and social movements themselves are fragmenting over the meaning, scope, and tactics of corporate accountability due to different local, national and regional contexts, ideological variations regarding human rights and economic development, and diverse professional understandings of accountability processes. This is an open access book.

Conceptualising the Corporate Human Rights and Environmental Responsibilities
A Bottom-Up Analysis through OECD Case Law
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 390 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book offers the first comprehensive, empirically grounded analysis of how corporate human rights and environmental responsibilities are conceptualised, interpreted, and operationalised through OECD National Contact Point (NCP) case law. Moving beyond doctrinal debates, it examines 394 specific instances handled between 2000 and 2024 to demonstrate how NCP statements function as an evolving body of quasi-juridical authority that progressively shapes the meaning, scope, and content of the corporate responsibility to respect under the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. Combining traditional legal analysis with systematic content analysis using MAXQDA, the book traces how norms are articulated across all dimensions of human rights due diligence: policy commitments, risk identification, prevention and mitigation, tracking, communication, remediation, and stakeholder engagement. Each thematic chapter distils key findings from the case law, highlighting both best practices and persistent shortcomings, and showing how companies navigate complex questions of causation, leverage, and corporate involvement in harm—whether through their subsidiaries, supply chains, investment relationships, or broader business structures. The book further clarifies corporate responsibilities in context: gender-based impacts, workers’ rights, Indigenous Peoples’ rights, minority protection, environmental harm, climate impacts, conflict-affected areas, and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals. A dedicated analysis of different corporate actors—parent companies, investors, financial institutions, non-profit organisations, and state-owned enterprises—reveals distinct patterns of accountability and influence within transnational economic activity. Finally, the book turns to the state duty to protect, offering a critical examination of how home states regulate extraterritorial corporate conduct, the forms of complicity that emerge, and the regulatory measures reflected across NCP practice. The conclusion argues that, taken cumulatively, NCP statements amount to a significant and under-recognised source of normative authority: a soft-law mechanism whose interpretive influence is shaping the future direction of corporate human rights and environmental responsibility.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book adds impetus to the nexus between human rights, human rights education and material reality. The dissonance between these aspects is of growing concern for most human rights educators in various social contexts. The first part of the book opens up new discourses and presents new ontologies and epistemologies from scholars in human rights, human rights education and human rights literacies to critique and/or justify the understandings of human rights’ complex applications. Today’s rapidly changing social contexts and new languages attempting to understand ongoing dehumanization and violations, put enormous pressure on higher education, educators, individuals working in social sciences, policy makers and scholars engaged in curricula making.The second part demonstrates how global interactions between citizens from different countries with diverse understandings of human rights (from developed and developing democracies) question the link between human rights andit’s in(ex)clusive Western philosophies. Continuing inhumane actions around the globe reflect the failure of human rights law and human rights education in schools, higher education and society at large. The book shows that human rights education is no longer a blueprint for understanding human rights and its universal or contextual values presented for multicomplexial societies. The final chapters argue for new ontologies and epistemologies of human rights, human rights education and human rights literacies to open-up difficult conversations and to give space to dissonant and disruptive discourses. The many opportunities for human rights education and literacies lies in these conversations.
