ABSTRACT
Subject of research: It has long been recognized that business can have
a profound impact on human rights. Companies do not have the same legal
duties as States under international human rights law. However, there has
been a long-standing debate about what responsibilities companies do have
for human rights.
Purpose of research: In the age of globalization which results in developments
of transnational and multinational corporations there is a need to define
companies’ obligations in the area of human rights and determine the timeless
rules that can be accepted by every culture.
Methods: The main method used in the paper is formal-dogmatic. The paper
focuses on analyses of the non-binding provisions of international human
rights law especially on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights.
