Routledge - Human Rights in Business: Access to Justice in the EU

As multinational companies gain significant social and economic power in the global economy, the potential for abuses regarding human, labour, and environmental rights increases. This book examines the challenges of regulating these large entities to ensure they meet international standards. One of the primary difficulties in enforcement stems from how companies are organized into groups of separate legal persons incorporated across different states. This complex structure often makes it hard to hold corporations accountable for their actions. This text explores the barriers to justice within the European Union and addresses the legal complexities involved in regulating multinational activities. It is a necessary resource for those studying the intersection of business, law, and human rights in a globalized world.
