Business and Human Rights

- History, Law and Policy - Bridging the Accountability Gap

About Business and Human Rights

Business corporations can and do violate human rights all over the world, and they are often not held to account. Business and human rights as a field seeks to enhance the accountability of business ¿ companies and businesspeople ¿ in the human rights area, or, to phrase it differently, to bridge the accountability gap. Bridging the accountability gap is to be understood as both setting standards and holding corporations and businesspeople to account if violations occur. Adopting a legal perspective, this book presents the ways in which this dual undertaking has been and could be further carried out in the future, and evaluates the extent to which the various initiatives in the field bridge the corporate accountability gap.
